Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ACPL-P480-060E qualifies as a substitute for the ACPL-4800-360E based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - Isolation: 3750Vrms (identical)
• Number of Channels: 1 (identical)
• Output Type: Push-Pull, Totem Pole (identical)
• Current - Output / Channel: 25 mA (identical)
• Propagation Delay tpLH / tpHL (Max): 350ns, 350ns (identical)
• Voltage - Supply: 4.5V ~ 20V (identical)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 100°C (identical)
• Input Type: DC (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

Differing Parameters:

• Common Mode Transient Immunity (Min): 30kV/µs (ACPL-4800-360E) vs. 20kV/µs (ACPL-P480-060E)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 1.5V (ACPL-4800-360E) vs. 1.7V (ACPL-P480-060E)
• Package / Case: 8-SMD, Gull Wing vs. 6-SOIC (0.180", 4.58mm Width)

The substitute maintains electrical equivalence in isolation voltage, channel configuration, output characteristics, and supply specifications. The reduction in CMTI and increase in forward voltage represent minor performance variations acceptable within the optoisolator category. Package differences require PCB layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ACPL-4800-360E and ACPL-P480-060E are Active products with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:

The ACPL-4800-360E provides higher Common Mode Transient Immunity at 30kV/µs and lower forward voltage (1.5V typical), making it suitable for applications requiring maximum noise immunity and minimal LED drive current. The 8-DIP Gull Wing package accommodates standard DIP footprints.

The ACPL-P480-060E operates with 20kV/µs CMTI and 1.7V forward voltage in a 6-SOIC package, offering space-constrained PCB designs where the smaller footprint is advantageous. Both parts maintain identical isolation voltage, output current, propagation delay, and supply voltage specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ACPL-P480-060E directly replace ACPL-4800-360E on existing PCBs?

A: No. While electrically equivalent in core parameters, the package difference (8-DIP Gull Wing vs. 6-SOIC) requires PCB layout modification. The footprints are not interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the 10kV/µs difference in Common Mode Transient Immunity?

A: The ACPL-4800-360E's 30kV/µs CMTI provides superior rejection of high-speed common-mode voltage transients. Applications with stringent noise immunity requirements should prioritize the higher CMTI specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for industrial temperature ranges?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -40°C to 100°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. Operating temperature specifications are identical.

Q: What does the forward voltage difference (1.5V vs. 1.7V) mean for circuit design?

A: The 0.2V difference affects LED drive current calculations. The ACPL-4800-360E requires slightly less input current for the same optical output, reducing input stage power dissipation marginally.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Compliance profiles are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on PCB space constraints and noise immunity requirements. For space-limited applications, use ACPL-P480-060E. For maximum noise immunity in high-EMI environments, use ACPL-4800-360E.
