Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HCPL-0701#060 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage: Minimum 3750Vrms (equal or higher acceptable)
• Output Configuration: Darlington with Base or compatible transistor output with base connection
• Current Transfer Ratio: Minimum 500% @ 1.6mA (range 500–2600% acceptable)
• Output Specifications: Maximum 18V output, 60mA per channel capability
• Package: 8-SOIC surface mount form factor
• Input Type: DC input
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C minimum and 85°C maximum

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications and are direct replacements from the same manufacturer (Broadcom Limited HCPL-0701 series variants).

Manufacturer Recommended Substitutes are from alternative manufacturers (onsemi, Vishay, Toshiba) and provide equivalent or superior isolation voltage, matching output configuration, and compatible package specifications, with minor variations in switching times and forward voltage characteristics that remain within acceptable operating margins.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Parametric Equivalents (Preferred for Drop-In Replacement)

HCPL-0701, HCPL-0701-000E, and HCPL-0701-060E are parametric equivalents from Broadcom Limited with identical electrical specifications to the HCPL-0701#060. These parts maintain the same isolation voltage (3750Vrms), current transfer ratio range, output configuration, and package form factor. HCPL-0701-000E and HCPL-0701-060E carry ROHS3 compliance certification, making them suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance. All three are in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

Manufacturer Recommended Cross-Reference (onsemi HCPL0701)

The onsemi HCPL0701 provides equivalent functionality with identical current transfer ratio specifications and output configuration. The isolation voltage is reduced to 2500Vrms, which is acceptable only for applications where the design isolation requirement does not exceed 2500Vrms. Switching times are slightly longer (300ns turn-on vs. 200ns). This part carries ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Enhanced Isolation Alternative (Vishay SFH6319T)

The SFH6319T from Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division provides superior isolation voltage (4000Vrms) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). Output configuration is transistor with base rather than Darlington with base, maintaining base connection capability. Current transfer ratio specifications are identical. Switching times are longer (600ns turn-on). This part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance.

Extended Temperature Alternative (Toshiba TLP2403(F))

The TLP2403(F) from Toshiba Semiconductor matches the isolation voltage (3750Vrms) and output configuration (Darlington with base). Operating temperature range extends to 100°C maximum. Current transfer ratio minimum is specified at 500% with maximum unspecified. Switching times are intermediate (300ns turn-on, 1µs turn-off). This part carries RoHS compliance and active product status.

Selection Criteria by Application Requirement

For applications requiring RoHS compliance with no isolation voltage reduction, select HCPL-0701-000E or HCPL-0701-060E. For applications requiring extended temperature operation beyond 85°C, select SFH6319T or TLP2403(F). For applications where isolation voltage can be reduced to 2500Vrms, the onsemi HCPL0701 is acceptable. For applications requiring maximum isolation voltage (4000Vrms), select SFH6319T.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-0701-000E or HCPL-0701-060E be used as direct replacements for HCPL-0701#060?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical isolation voltage (3750Vrms), current transfer ratio range (500–2600% @ 1.6mA), output configuration (Darlington with Base), and 8-SOIC package. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. Both are in active production.

Q: What is the key difference between the onsemi HCPL0701 and the Broadcom HCPL-0701#060?

A: The onsemi HCPL0701 has reduced isolation voltage (2500Vrms vs. 3750Vrms). All other electrical parameters including current transfer ratio, output configuration, and package are equivalent. This part is suitable only for applications where isolation requirements do not exceed 2500Vrms.

Q: Is the Vishay SFH6319T a suitable substitute despite having transistor output instead of Darlington output?

A: The SFH6319T provides transistor with base output configuration, which maintains base connection capability. The output type differs from Darlington with base, but both configurations support base-driven operation. The SFH6319T offers superior isolation voltage (4000Vrms) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). Compatibility depends on circuit design requirements for base drive characteristics.

Q: What are the packaging differences among substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use 8-SOIC surface mount package with 0.154" (3.90mm) width. HCPL-0701, HCPL-0701-000E, and HCPL-0701-060E are supplied in Tube packaging. SFH6319T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. TLP2403(F) packaging type is not specified. All are compatible with standard surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs requiring RoHS compliance?

A: HCPL-0701-000E, HCPL-0701-060E, onsemi HCPL0701, Vishay SFH6319T, and Toshiba TLP2403(F) all carry RoHS or ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection among these should be based on isolation voltage requirement, operating temperature range, and switching time specifications for the specific application.

Q: Are there any switching time differences that affect circuit performance?

A: Yes. The HCPL-0701#060 specifies 200ns turn-on and 2µs turn-off time. Substitute parts show variations: onsemi HCPL0701 (300ns, 1.6µs), Vishay SFH6319T (600ns, 1.5µs), and Toshiba TLP2403(F) (300ns, 1µs). Longer switching times may affect high-frequency signal integrity. Circuit timing margins should be verified for critical applications.

Q: What is the significance of current transfer ratio specifications?

A: Current transfer ratio determines the output current relative to input current. All listed parts maintain the minimum specification of 500% @ 1.6mA, ensuring adequate output drive capability. The maximum specification (typically 2600%) indicates the upper performance limit. This parameter is critical for ensuring sufficient base drive current in Darlington or transistor output configurations.
