ACPL-W60L-560E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ACPL-W60L-560E is a Logic Output Optoisolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, featuring 5000Vrms isolation with open collector, Schottky clamped output topology. This single-channel device operates at 15MBd data rate with 15kV/µs common mode transient immunity, housed in a 6-SO surface mount package. The product is Active status and ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent isolation voltage, channel configuration, and core functional parameters align within the allowed electrical and mechanical specifications for optoisolator applications. Alternatives may differ in output topology, data rate, propagation delay, and package dimensions while maintaining compatibility with the primary isolation and supply voltage requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications.

ACPL-W60L-560E is the primary selection for applications requiring maximum output current (50mA) and highest data rate (15MBd) with open collector topology, suitable for direct logic level interfacing with pull-up resistor networks.

ACPL-C61L-560E provides tri-state output capability with enhanced common mode transient immunity (20kV/µs) in an 8-SO package. This configuration is applicable where multiple devices require bus-sharing architecture or where higher noise immunity is critical.

ACPL-W61L-560E offers push-pull totem pole output in a 6-SO stretched package with 20kV/µs CMTI, providing rail-to-rail output swing without external pull-up components. This topology is suitable for direct CMOS/TTL logic interfacing.

Selection between substitutes depends on output topology requirements, package footprint constraints, and circuit-level current sourcing/sinking demands rather than isolation or supply voltage specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ACPL-C61L-560E replace ACPL-W60L-560E in existing designs?

A: Substitution is possible if the circuit accommodates tri-state output topology and reduced output current (10mA vs. 50mA). The 8-SO package has different pin pitch (0.154" vs. 0.268") and requires PCB layout modification. Isolation voltage and supply range compatibility are maintained.

Q: What is the primary difference between open collector and push-pull output?

A: Open collector (ACPL-W60L-560E) requires external pull-up resistor and sources current only. Push-pull (ACPL-W61L-560E) provides both source and sink capability with rail-to-rail output swing, eliminating external pull-up requirements.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: No. ACPL-W60L-560E and ACPL-W61L-560E both use 6-SO packages but with different widths (0.268" vs. 0.180"). ACPL-C61L-560E uses 8-SO package. Pin configurations differ; PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: Does higher common mode transient immunity (20kV/µs) provide better performance?

A: Higher CMTI rating indicates improved noise rejection during fast isolation barrier transitions. ACPL-C61L-560E and ACPL-W61L-560E (20kV/µs) offer superior EMI immunity compared to ACPL-W60L-560E (15kV/µs) in high-noise environments.

Q: What is the impact of reduced data rate (10MBd vs. 15MBd)?

A: ACPL-C61L-560E and ACPL-W61L-560E operate at 10MBd maximum, limiting bandwidth to applications below this threshold. ACPL-W60L-560E supports 15MBd for higher-speed signal transmission. Selection depends on actual signal frequency requirements.

Q: Are supply voltage ranges fully compatible?

A: ACPL-W60L-560E supports dual ranges (2.7V ~ 3.6V and 4.5V ~ 5.5V). ACPL-C61L-560E and ACPL-W61L-560E support continuous 2.7V ~ 5.5V range. Both configurations are compatible with standard 3.3V and 5V supply systems.
