HIN207ECP

Overview

The HIN207ECP is a single-driver, triple-receiver RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation (later Intersil and Renesas). It operates on a single +5V supply using onboard charge pumps to generate ±10V levels. The device supports data rates up to 230 kb/s and features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins. Packaged in a 24-pin CDIP format, it meets EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications. Key electrical parameters include a 4.75V to 5.25V operating voltage range, 20mA typical supply current, and an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for external dual-voltage power supplies.
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection ensures reliability in high-noise environments.
• True TTL/CMOS input compatibility simplifies interface with digital logic systems.

Applications

• ISDN terminal equipment communication interfaces
• High-speed modem connections
• Industrial control system serial ports

Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer lineage as Harris Corporation assets were acquired by Intersil and subsequently Renesas. Confirm package type matches legacy requirements. Check RoHS compliance status against specific manufacturing dates. Validate pinout compatibility if replacing with newer family members. Ensure supply chain authenticity due to potential obsolescence.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available but RS-232 voltage levels are required. Choose the CP suffix for ceramic DIP packaging in high-reliability applications. Consider shutdown modes only if lower power variants like HIN206E are acceptable. Verify that the 230 kb/s speed meets system timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN20xE family of high-speed RS-232 transceivers designed for +5V operation. It shares architectural similarities with the HIN202E, HIN206E, and HIN208E. The family was widely used in telecommunications and industrial automation before transitioning through corporate acquisitions.

Replacement Considerations

HIN207ECBZ is a lead-free plastic SOIC variant. MAX3221 offers similar functionality with different pinouts. SP3232 provides comparable performance with alternative packaging. Verify electrical compatibility before substitution.
