HIN241ECB

Overview

The HIN241ECB is a full RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation, designed to meet EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications. It integrates four drivers and four receivers in a single package, providing bidirectional data communication capabilities. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and features tri-state outputs for bus sharing applications. Packaged in a 28-SOIC format, it supports surface-mount installation and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent drivers and four receivers for complete RS-232 signal conversion
• Complies with EIA RS-232E and V.28 interface standards for reliable serial communication
• Features tri-state outputs to facilitate multi-driver bus configurations
• Supports operation over extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Modem control circuits
• Industrial data acquisition systems
• Point-to-point serial data links

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific suffix matches the required package and temperature grade. Check RoHS compliance status as older Harris components may not meet current environmental regulations. Ensure storage conditions respect moisture sensitivity levels to prevent package damage before soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a full set of drivers and receivers is required for RS-232 connectivity. Consider the 28-SOIC package size for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate power supply requirements against the specified 4.5V to 5.5V operating range. Compare pinout compatibility if replacing existing designs with similar transceivers.

Part Context

The HIN241ECB belongs to the HIN200-HIN213 family of RS-232 transmitters and receivers developed by Harris Corporation. This series provides various configurations of driver and receiver counts to suit different interface needs. The HIN241 specifically offers a balanced 4x4 configuration, distinguishing it from parts with asymmetric channel counts.
