Broadcom 5962-8767902PC Optoisolator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Broadcom 5962-8767902PC is an optoisolator transistor with base output designed for high-voltage isolation applications. This 2-channel, 1500VDC isolation device operates across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is housed in an 8-DIP through-hole package. The component is currently active in production and maintains full RoHS3 compliance. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific channel requirements, or supply chain considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5962-8767902PC is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Isolation: 1500VDC (mandatory match)
• Output Type: Transistor with Base (mandatory match)
• Package / Case: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mandatory match)
• Current Transfer Ratio (Min): 9% @ 16mA (mandatory match)
• Turn On / Turn Off Time (Typ): 400ns, 1µs (mandatory match)
• Voltage - Output (Max): 20V (mandatory match)
• Current - Output / Channel: 8mA (mandatory match)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (mandatory match)

The HCPL-5500 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is channel configuration: the 5962-8767902PC provides 2 channels while the HCPL-5500 provides 1 channel. This distinction affects circuit design and board layout but does not prevent functional substitution in applications requiring single-channel isolation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5962-8767902PC and HCPL-5500 are active production components manufactured by Broadcom Limited with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both devices carry ECCN EAR99 classification and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Selection between these parts depends on circuit requirements:

• Use 5962-8767902PC when dual-channel isolation is required within a single package footprint.
• Use HCPL-5500 when single-channel isolation is sufficient, offering higher inventory availability (2100 units versus 703 units).

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within their respective channel configurations and maintain identical electrical performance characteristics across the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-5500 directly replace 5962-8767902PC in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only in applications requiring single-channel isolation. The HCPL-5500 provides one isolation channel while the 5962-8767902PC provides two. Circuit design and PCB layout must accommodate this channel difference.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical isolation voltage (1500VDC), current transfer ratio (9% @ 16mA), switching times (400ns, 1µs), output voltage rating (20V), and output current per channel (8mA).

Q: Do both parts use the same 8-DIP package?

A: Yes. Both the 5962-8767902PC and HCPL-5500 use the 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package with identical pinout compatibility for their respective channel configurations.

Q: What is the temperature operating range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, providing identical thermal performance for extended temperature applications.

Q: Are compliance certifications the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on isolation channel requirements. For dual-channel isolation, use 5962-8767902PC. For single-channel isolation, HCPL-5500 is functionally equivalent with superior inventory availability.
