HCPL-063N#500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCPL-063N#500 is a logic output optoisolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for high-speed digital isolation applications. This 2-channel device provides 3750Vrms isolation with open collector, Schottky clamped outputs and supports data rates up to 10MBd. The part is currently active in production. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format availability and compliance requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HCPL-063N#500 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical number of channels (2)
• Identical isolation voltage (3750Vrms)
• Identical common mode transient immunity (15kV/µs)
• Identical output type (Open Collector, Schottky Clamped)
• Identical output current per channel (50 mA)
• Identical data rate (10MBd)
• Identical propagation delay specifications (100ns / 100ns)
• Identical supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V)
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Identical package and case dimensions (8-SOIC, 0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount)

The HCPL-063N-500E differs only in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) and RoHS compliance status, with all functional and electrical parameters remaining identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-063N#500 and HCPL-063N-500E are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Packaging Format Requirements: The HCPL-063N#500 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the HCPL-063N-500E is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats. Choose based on your procurement and assembly process requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: The HCPL-063N-500E carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the HCPL-063N#500 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance must use the HCPL-063N-500E.

Product Status: Both parts maintain active production status with Broadcom Limited, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-063N-500E be used as a direct replacement for HCPL-063N#500?

A: Yes. The HCPL-063N-500E is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical specifications, isolation voltage, output characteristics, data rate, and package dimensions. The only differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides the same components on cut tape segments or alternative reel formats, accommodating different assembly equipment and lower-volume requirements.

Q: Does the packaging format affect the component's electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a supply and handling consideration only. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical regardless of whether the part is supplied in Tape & Reel or Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format.

Q: Is RoHS compliance required for my application?

A: RoHS compliance is mandatory for products sold in the European Union and many other regulated markets. If your application or customer specifications require RoHS compliance, use the HCPL-063N-500E. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part may be used.

Q: Are there any thermal or reliability differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 85°C), moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1), and all thermal and reliability specifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same 8-SOIC package with identical pin assignments, dimensions, and mounting requirements. They are fully interchangeable at the PCB level.
