HIN241ACA

Overview

The HIN241ACA is a dual driver and receiver line transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation. It operates within the CMOS logic family and supports EIA-232-E, V.24, and V.28 interface standards. The device integrates two drivers and two receivers in a single package. It utilizes a PDSO16 plastic surface-mount package with sixteen terminals. The component functions as a complete RS-232 communication interface solution for data transmission applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual drivers and dual receivers for bidirectional serial communication
• Supports standard EIA-232-E, V.24, and V.28 interface protocols
• Utilizes CMOS technology for low power consumption
• Provides a compact surface-mount packaging solution

Applications

• RS-232 serial port implementations
• Data communication equipment interfaces
• Modem connection circuits
• Industrial control system serial links

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully as Harris Corporation's semiconductor assets were acquired by Renesas Electronics. Confirm the specific suffix 'ACA' matches the required package type and temperature rating. Check for RoHS compliance status as older Harris components may not meet current environmental directives. Ensure the source provides valid traceability documentation for this legacy part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel RS-232 transceiver is required in a small surface-mount footprint. Compare against modern equivalents from Renesas or other manufacturers if lead times are critical. Verify voltage levels match the target system's logic requirements. Consider pin compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the PDSO16 package form factor.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HIN series of interface ICs produced by Harris Semiconductor. The series was widely used before the company's acquisition by Intersil and subsequent merger into Renesas. These parts established a baseline for integrated RS-232 solutions in personal computers and industrial hardware during the late twentieth century.
