HIN202ECBNZ

Product Overview

The HIN202ECBNZ from Renesas Electronics Corporation is a surface-mount RS-232 transceiver intended for full-duplex serial interfacing. It integrates two drivers and two receivers in a 16-SOIC package, supporting bidirectional communication over RS-232 lines. The device operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and supports a specified data rate of 230 kbps. Its 500 mV receiver hysteresis and 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range are key electrical and environmental characteristics for board-level serial interface design.

Key Features

• RS-232 protocol transceiver with full-duplex operation
• 2 drivers and 2 receivers in one 16-SOIC surface-mount package
• Specified data rate: 230 kbps
• Receiver hysteresis: 500 mV
• Supply voltage range: 4.5 V to 5.5 V
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C

Applications

• Point-to-point serial links between a controller and an RS-232-compatible peripheral
• Serial port interface modules for systems using a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply
• Breakout or adapter boards that require two transmit and two receive channels

Design & Procurement Notes

Designers should confirm that the system supply remains within 4.5 V to 5.5 V and that the serial link does not exceed the specified 230 kbps data rate. The full-duplex 2/2 configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive paths, so pin mapping and signal routing should be checked against the 16-SOIC footprint. The 500 mV receiver hysteresis and 0°C to 70°C operating range are useful parameters for evaluating signal robustness and ambient conditions. Assembly planning should account for surface-mount placement and the 0.154 inch, 3.90 mm package width.
