HIN236IB

Product Overview

The HIN236IB from Harris Corporation is a surface-mount RS232 transceiver in a 24-SOIC package with 0.295 inch, 7.50 mm width. It combines four drivers and three receivers in a full-duplex interface, with 500 mV receiver hysteresis and a 120 kbps data rate. The device operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and is specified for an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Its package and channel configuration support compact serial interface designs that require multiple transmit and receive paths within a single RS232 transceiver.

Design & Procurement Notes

Design should confirm that the 4 driver and 3 receiver channel arrangement, full-duplex behavior, 120 kbps data rate, and 500 mV receiver hysteresis match the serial link requirements. The 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature range should be checked against the board power and operating environment. The 24-SOIC surface-mount package requires a compatible footprint with 0.295 inch, 7.50 mm width, so mechanical layout should be considered. Procurement should verify the exact manufacturer part number HIN236IB and package dimensions to avoid mismatches in channel count, voltage, or physical fit.
