HIN207ACA

Overview

The HIN207ACA is a single-driver, triple-receiver RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation. It operates on a single 5V supply with a voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and draws 20mA of quiescent current. The device supports data rates up to 230kb/s and features 15kV ESD protection. Packaged in a 16-pin SSOP (PDSO16), it functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This component complies with EIA-232-E, V.24, and V.28 standards for serial communication interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Integrates one driver and three receivers for asymmetric RS-232 communication
• Provides robust 15kV electrostatic discharge protection on all pins
• Operates from a single 5V power supply without requiring negative voltages
• Supports data transmission speeds up to 230kb/s

Applications

• Industrial equipment serial port interfacing
• Embedded systems requiring RS-232 connectivity
• Data acquisition systems with single-ended signal requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully as the part originates from Harris Corporation, which has undergone corporate restructuring and acquisitions affecting product lines. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific package variant details against official datasheets before integration. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs regarding pinout and electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-driver, triple-receiver configuration is required for RS-232 applications. It is suitable for designs needing 15kV ESD protection and operation within the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Consider the 16-pin SSOP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management during selection.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HIN207 series of RS-232 transceivers originally developed by Harris Semiconductor. The series provides solutions for converting TTL/CMOS logic levels to RS-232 voltage levels. Harris Corporation's semiconductor division was later acquired by Intersil, and subsequently by Renesas Electronics, impacting long-term support and availability channels for these legacy interface devices.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents from Renesas or Intersil, such as the HIN207ECBZ-T or HIN207EIBZ-T, noting differences in temperature ranges and packaging. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters against current available inventory from authorized distributors.
