HIN241CBZ-T

Overview

The HIN241CBZ-T is a high-speed RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, belonging to the HIN241 series. It integrates one driver and three receivers within a single SOIC-24 package. The device operates on a single +5V power supply with a maximum voltage of 5.25V and a minimum of 4.75V. It supports data rates up to 230 kb/s and draws a typical operating current of 20 mA. The component provides 15 kV ESD protection and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates onboard charge pump circuitry to generate required positive and negative voltages from a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for external dual-voltage sources.
• Provides robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at 15 kV to safeguard connected interfaces against static events.
• Features true TTL/CMOS input compatibility for drivers and hysteresis on receivers to enhance noise rejection in electrically noisy environments.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication ports
• Portable computing devices such as laptops and mainframes
• Peripheral equipment including printers and terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuance alerts from Renesas to ensure long-term project viability. Validate moisture sensitivity level requirements for surface mount assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-driver, triple-receiver RS-232 interface is required with integrated voltage conversion. Ensure the design accommodates the necessary external capacitors for the onboard charge pump operation. Verify that the 230 kb/s data rate meets system timing requirements. Consider the SOIC-24 footprint constraints during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN207/HIN241 family of high-speed RS-232 transceivers designed for +5V operation. It shares architectural similarities with the HIN207ECBZ-T but differs in receiver count and specific pinout configurations. The HIN241 series is engineered for applications where space and component count reduction are critical while maintaining standard RS-232 signal integrity.
