HIN203ACP

Overview

The HIN203ACP is a single-function line transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation. It features two drivers and one receiver, designed for RS-232 communication applications. The device operates with a single +5V power supply and includes internal charge pumps to generate the necessary positive and negative voltages required for RS-232 signal levels. This integration allows for simplified circuit design by eliminating the need for external voltage generation components.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual drivers and a single receiver within a compact package
• Utilizes internal charge pump technology to generate required RS-232 voltage levels
• Operates efficiently from a single +5V power supply source

Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Modem connections
• Point-to-point data transmission systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Harris Corporation's semiconductor assets were acquired by other entities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes. Ensure the package type matches the specific suffix requirements for your PCB layout. Cross-reference datasheets from current authorized distributors to confirm pinout compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-supply RS-232 solution is required without external inductors. Consider the drive capability and receiver sensitivity specifications against the cable length and noise environment. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the target application. Compare pinout compatibility with existing designs if replacing legacy parts.

Part Context

Harris Corporation was a prominent electronics manufacturer specializing in semiconductors and defense systems. In 2019, it merged with L3 Technologies to form L3Harris Technologies. The HIN203ACP belongs to the family of RS-232 transceivers produced during Harris's active semiconductor manufacturing period, prior to the corporate restructuring.
