HIN202ECBZ

Product Overview

The HIN202ECBZ from Renesas Electronics Corporation is a surface-mount RS232 transceiver in a 16-SOIC package. It integrates two drivers and two receivers for full-duplex serial communication and operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. The device supports a data rate of 230 kbps and provides 500 mV receiver hysteresis. Its operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, and the package width is 0.295 in, or 7.50 mm. The transceiver combines driver and receiver functions in one surface-mount package for serial port designs.

Key Features

• RS232 protocol support for serial interface links.
• Two drivers and two receivers provide full-duplex transmit and receive paths.
• Data rate specification of 230 kbps.
• Receiver hysteresis of 500 mV.
• Supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
• Surface-mount 16-SOIC package, 0.295 in / 7.50 mm width.
• Operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Applications

• Serial communication links between embedded controllers and RS232-compatible peripherals.
• Point-to-point serial data exchange in instrumentation or test-equipment interfaces.
• Full-duplex serial ports for transmitting commands and receiving status information.
• Equipment serial interfaces requiring multiple simultaneous transmit and receive channels.

Design & Procurement Notes

When selecting the HIN202ECBZ, verify that the board power provides a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and that the 16-SOIC surface-mount footprint matches the PCB layout. Confirm that the required serial throughput is compatible with the 230 kbps data-rate specification and that the two-driver, two-receiver architecture matches the interface requirements. Consider the 500 mV receiver hysteresis when evaluating receiver threshold margins, and ensure that ambient operating conditions remain within 0°C to 70°C. The 16-SOIC package and surface-mount mounting type should also be considered during PCB assembly planning.
