HIN202CBN

Overview

The HIN202CBN is an RS-232 transceiver integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil). It operates on a single +5V power supply with a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The device features two drivers and two receivers, supporting data rates up to 120 kb/s. It utilizes onboard charge pumps to generate the necessary positive and negative voltages for RS-232 signaling without requiring external dual supplies. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow package and is designed for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate required +/-10V supplies from a single +5V source
• Provides full duplex communication capability with two independent drivers and two receivers
• Features true TTL/CMOS input compatibility for direct interfacing with standard logic families

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring RS-232 connectivity
• Point-of-sale terminals and cash registers
• Medical equipment with serial communication interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BN' against official Renesas documentation to confirm pinout and package dimensions, as variations exist within the HIN202 family. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required for the target assembly. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to manufacturing integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, single-supply RS-232 solution is needed for moderate speed applications up to 120 kb/s. It is suitable for designs where space is limited and external high-voltage generation is undesirable. Compare against ESD-protected variants like the HIN202E if electrostatic discharge immunity is critical for the deployment environment.

Part Context

The HIN202CBN belongs to the HIN202 series of RS-232 transceivers, which are part of the broader portfolio of interface ICs originally developed by Intersil and now managed by Renesas Electronics. This series is designed to meet EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications, offering a compact alternative to traditional multi-supply transceiver solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the HIN202IBZ and HIN202CBZ-T. Verify that substitute parts match the exact driver/receiver count and package width. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure identical electrical characteristics and pin configurations before substitution.
