Broadcom HCPL-0601-500E Optocoupler, Surface, 8-Pin SO

Broadcom HCPL Series Optocoupler, 3750Vrms Isolation Voltage, 80°C Maximum Operating Temperature - HCPL-0601-500E

This optocoupler provides galvanic isolation between input and output for electronic systems in automotive environments. It is supplied in a small-outline surface-mount package and is designed to deliver logic-level signalling while meeting automotive temperature and safety expectations.

Features and Benefits:

• 3750Vrms isolation enhances safety in mixed-voltage systems
  10ns fall time supports fast digital switching
  24ns typical rise time minimises signal propagation delay
  Single-channel configuration simplifies circuit integration
  20mA maximum input current accommodates common LED drive levels
  -45 to 80°C operating range suits wide temperature conditions

Applications

• Suitable for signal isolation in vehicle control modules
  Ideal for interfacing microcontrollers to high-voltage domains
  Used with safety circuits requiring recognised approvals
  Can be used for board-level isolation in harsh environments
  Appropriate for automated assembly via tape-and-reel packaging

What package and mounting style does it use?

It is supplied in a small-outline eight-pin package for surface mounting.

Which approvals support use in regulated equipment?

It holds approvals from CSA and UL for recognised safety use.

What electrical limit applies to the input LED?

The LED must not exceed a maximum forward voltage of 1.8V and a maximum drive current of 20mA.

How does its isolation rating affect system design?

The 3750Vrms rating permits separation between primary and secondary circuits for enhanced protection against transient and fault conditions.

How is the product supplied for production environments?

It is provided in tape-and-reel format to facilitate automated pick-and-place assembly.
