Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HCPL-0601#560 has one direct equivalent substitute: HCPL-0601-560E. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Voltage isolation rating: 3750Vrms
• Number of channels: 1
• Output configuration: Open Collector, Schottky Clamped
• Common Mode Transient Immunity: 10kV/µs minimum
• Data rate capability: 10MBd
• Current output per channel: 50 mA
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package type: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

The HCPL-0601-560E maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part while differing in packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-0601-560E is the direct substitute for the discontinued HCPL-0601#560. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary differences between the two parts are:

• Product Status: HCPL-0601#560 is discontinued; HCPL-0601-560E is active
• Packaging Format: HCPL-0601#560 uses standard packaging; HCPL-0601-560E is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format
• RoHS Compliance: HCPL-0601#560 is RoHS non-compliant; HCPL-0601-560E is ROHS3 compliant

For new designs and ongoing production requiring this optoisolator topology, the HCPL-0601-560E is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The Tape & Reel packaging format is standard for high-volume manufacturing and automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-0601-560E be used as a direct replacement for HCPL-0601#560 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HCPL-0601-560E maintains identical electrical specifications, including isolation voltage, output current, data rate, propagation delay, and supply voltage requirements. The package footprint and pin configuration are identical, enabling direct PCB-level substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: HCPL-0601#560 uses standard packaging, while HCPL-0601-560E is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly and is the standard format for production quantities. Both formats contain the same component in the same 8-SOIC package.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of HCPL-0601-560E affect electrical performance?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. The HCPL-0601-560E maintains all electrical specifications identical to the original part.

Q: Are there any timing or signal integrity differences between these parts?

A: No. Propagation delay, rise time, fall time, and all other timing parameters are identical between HCPL-0601#560 and HCPL-0601-560E.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: HCPL-0601#560 has 4280 pieces in stock but is discontinued. HCPL-0601-560E has 3202 pieces in stock and is an active product. For long-term availability and ongoing production support, HCPL-0601-560E is the recommended selection.
