HIN237ACP

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The HIN237ACP is a dual RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation. It operates from a single +5V power supply and incorporates internal charge pumps to generate the required positive and negative voltages for RS-232 signal levels. The device features two drivers and two receivers, providing full RS-232 compliance. It utilizes a 16-pin DIP package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Single-supply operation with integrated charge pump circuitry
• Dual driver and dual receiver configuration
• Full RS-232 voltage level compliance

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Modem connections
• Data terminal equipment (DTE) interfacing

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as Harris Corporation or its successors. Confirm the package type is 16-pin DIP. Check for RoHS compliance status if required for modern assembly processes. Ensure the suffix 'ACP' denotes the specific package and temperature range variant.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel RS-232 interface is needed with single-supply operation. It is suitable for applications requiring standard RS-232 signaling without external voltage inversion components. Consider pin compatibility with existing designs if replacing similar legacy parts.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the family of RS-232 transceivers designed for low-power, single-supply applications. Harris Corporation was a significant semiconductor manufacturer before being acquired by Renesas Electronics. This specific model provides basic bidirectional data transfer capabilities for serial communications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Max232 is a common functional substitute. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Other dual-driver RS-232 transceivers with single-supply operation may also serve as alternatives.
