HIN206IA

Overview

The HIN206IA is a dual transmitter and dual receiver RS-232 interface circuit manufactured by Harris Corporation. Designed for single +5V power supply operation, it integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate the required ±10V supplies from the input voltage. The device meets EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications, supporting data rates up to 120kbit/s. It features three-state TTL/CMOS compatible outputs and inputs with ±30V tolerance. The component is housed in a standard DIP package suitable for general-purpose serial communication applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to eliminate external high-voltage requirements
• Supports single +5V power supply operation for simplified system design
• Provides three-state outputs compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families

Applications

• Computer serial port interfaces
• Portable and laptop computer communications
• Peripheral connections such as printers and terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer authenticity and date code when sourcing this legacy component. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment prior to installation. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by current assembly standards. Ensure storage conditions prevent moisture damage to the internal charge pump capacitors.

Selection Notes

Select this component for systems requiring RS-232 connectivity without ±12V power rails. It is suitable for space-constrained designs due to minimal external capacitor requirements. Compare against newer integrated solutions if lower power consumption or higher data rates are necessary for the specific application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN200-HIN213 family of RS-232 transceivers. These devices were designed to simplify interface circuits by integrating voltage conversion on-chip. The family offers various combinations of transmitters and receivers to accommodate different communication needs within the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consider MAX232 or SP3232 series equivalents for modern replacements. Verify pin compatibility and voltage level matching before substitution. Ensure the alternative device supports the required data rate and operating temperature range.
