HCNW2211 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCNW2211 is a logic output optoisolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for high-speed digital isolation applications. This 5000Vrms isolation device features push-pull totem pole output configuration with 5MBd data rate capability and 10kV/µs common mode transient immunity. The component is actively produced and widely used in industrial control, power management, and communication interface circuits where galvanic isolation is required. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and packaging standards to ensure direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HCNW2211 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Isolation Voltage: 5000Vrms minimum
• Number of Channels: 1 channel configuration
• Output Configuration: Push-Pull, Totem Pole topology
• Common Mode Transient Immunity: 10kV/µs minimum
• Data Rate: 5MBd capability
• Package Type: 8-DIP through-hole mounting
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V ~ 20V compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

Parts meeting all these electrical and mechanical specifications are considered direct substitutes and can be used interchangeably in circuit designs without modification to PCB layout or component footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCNW2211-000E is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the HCNW2211. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters including isolation voltage, data rate, output configuration, and timing characteristics.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The HCNW2211-000E carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the base HCNW2211 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance, the HCNW2211-000E is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Packaging format differs between the two variants: HCNW2211-000E is supplied in tube packaging, while the base part packaging is not specified. This distinction affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical performance or circuit functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCNW2211-000E be used as a direct replacement for HCNW2211 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HCNW2211-000E is electrically and mechanically identical to the HCNW2211. All electrical parameters, timing specifications, and package dimensions are equivalent. No circuit modifications or PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between HCNW2211 and HCNW2211-000E?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status (HCNW2211-000E is ROHS3 compliant) and packaging format (HCNW2211-000E is supplied in tube). Electrical specifications and performance characteristics are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts feature identical 8-DIP through-hole package dimensions (0.400", 10.16mm), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 20V), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). PCB footprints and circuit connections remain unchanged.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, specify HCNW2211-000E. For applications without RoHS mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Do these parts have identical timing characteristics?

A: Yes. Propagation delay (180ns / 160ns typical), rise time (30ns typical), and fall time (7ns typical) are identical across both parts.
