HCPL-0201#500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCPL-0201#500 is a logic output optoisolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for high-speed digital isolation applications. This 1-channel device provides 3750Vrms isolation with push-pull totem pole output configuration, operating at 5MBd data rate with 1kV/µs common mode transient immunity. The part is currently active in production and available in Tape & Reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical performance specifications and compatible mechanical packaging within the 8-SOIC form factor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HCPL-0201#500 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Performance Match:

• Isolation voltage: 3750Vrms
• Number of channels: 1
• Output configuration: Push-Pull, Totem Pole
• Data rate: 5MBd
• Common mode transient immunity: 1kV/µs minimum
• Output current per channel: 25 mA
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V ~ 20V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Propagation delay specifications: 300ns maximum (tpLH and tpHL)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Supplier device package: 8-SO Tall

Packaging Variants: Substitute parts may differ in distribution packaging (Tube, Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®, or Tape & Reel) without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility. These packaging differences reflect supply chain and inventory management options only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—HCPL-0201#500, HCPL-0201, and HCPL-0201-500E—are electrically and mechanically equivalent for direct substitution in circuit designs requiring 3750Vrms isolation with 5MBd push-pull output optoisolators in 8-SOIC packaging.

Compliance Consideration: The HCPL-0201-500E variant is ROHS3 compliant, while HCPL-0201#500 and HCPL-0201 are RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on end-product regulatory requirements and supply chain compliance mandates.

Packaging Selection: Choice among the three parts is determined by procurement and assembly requirements:

• HCPL-0201#500: Tape & Reel packaging for automated pick-and-place assembly
• HCPL-0201: Tube packaging for manual handling or lower-volume applications
• HCPL-0201-500E: Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging for flexible supply chain options

All parts share identical electrical performance and mechanical footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-0201 and HCPL-0201-500E be used interchangeably with HCPL-0201#500 in the same circuit?

A: Yes. All three parts have identical electrical specifications including isolation voltage, output configuration, data rate, and timing parameters. They are mechanically compatible within the same 8-SOIC footprint and mounting requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status. HCPL-0201#500 uses Tape & Reel packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. HCPL-0201 uses Tube packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. HCPL-0201-500E uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across all three.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Tube, or Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) is a supply chain and assembly consideration only. It does not affect the electrical characteristics, performance, or reliability of the optoisolator device itself.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: HCPL-0201-500E is ROHS3 compliant and is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS compliance. HCPL-0201#500 and HCPL-0201 are RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications with RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in isolation voltage or CMTI between these parts?

A: No. All three parts provide 3750Vrms isolation voltage and 1kV/µs common mode transient immunity. These critical isolation parameters are identical across HCPL-0201#500, HCPL-0201, and HCPL-0201-500E.

Q: Can these parts be used in designs requiring extended temperature ranges beyond -40°C to 85°C?

A: No. All three parts are specified for -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. Applications requiring extended temperature operation require alternative part selection outside this product family.
