HCPL-0701-560E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCPL-0701-560E is an optoisolator with Darlington output and base connection, manufactured by Broadcom Limited. This component provides 3750Vrms isolation in a single-channel configuration with 8-SOIC surface mount packaging. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit relaxation of specific electrical parameters while maintaining functional compatibility within the application circuit. Alternative sources and packaging formats may be necessary due to inventory availability, lead time constraints, or manufacturing discontinuation of the primary part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HCPL-0701-500E (Broadcom Limited)

This part is a parametric equivalent to the HCPL-0701-560E with identical electrical specifications and operating characteristics. The only difference is packaging format: HCPL-0701-500E is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format rather than Tape & Reel. Both parts share the same base product number (HCPL-0701) and maintain full RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications where packaging format does not impose constraints.

HCPL0701 (onsemi)

This part is manufactured by onsemi and shares the same base product designation. It maintains identical current transfer ratio specifications (500% to 2600% @ 1.6mA) and output characteristics (18V max, 60mA per channel). The isolation voltage is specified at 2500Vrms, which is lower than the HCPL-0701-560E (3750Vrms). Turn-on time is 300ns versus 200ns for the main part. This substitute is applicable only in applications where the lower isolation voltage rating is acceptable. The part is supplied in Tube packaging and maintains full RoHS3 compliance.

SFH6319T (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division)

This part provides 4000Vrms isolation, exceeding the HCPL-0701-560E specification of 3750Vrms. Current transfer ratio range matches exactly (500% to 2600% @ 1.6mA). Output type is specified as Transistor with Base rather than Darlington with Base, which may affect circuit biasing and switching characteristics. Turn-on time is 600ns compared to 200ns for the main part. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 100°C, providing wider environmental coverage. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring higher isolation voltage and extended temperature operation, provided the output stage topology change is compatible with the circuit design.

All three substitutes maintain RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and 8-SOIC surface mount packaging. Selection depends on isolation voltage requirements, timing specifications, output stage topology compatibility, and packaging format availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-0701-500E be used as a direct replacement for HCPL-0701-560E?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited with identical electrical specifications, current transfer ratio range, output voltage and current ratings, and operating temperature. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape / Digi-Reel versus Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not impose assembly constraints.

Q: What is the key difference between HCPL0701 (onsemi) and HCPL-0701-560E?

A: The onsemi HCPL0701 has a lower isolation voltage rating of 2500Vrms compared to 3750Vrms for the Broadcom part. Turn-on time is also slower at 300ns versus 200ns. This substitute is only applicable in applications where the lower isolation voltage is acceptable. All other electrical parameters match.

Q: Why does SFH6319T have different turn-on and turn-off times?

A: The SFH6319T is manufactured by Vishay with different internal circuit design. Turn-on time is 600ns and turn-off time is 1.5µs, compared to 200ns and 2µs for the HCPL-0701-560E. Applications with strict timing requirements must evaluate whether these timing differences are compatible with circuit operation.

Q: Is the output stage difference between Darlington and Transistor significant?

A: Yes. The HCPL-0701-560E uses Darlington output configuration, while SFH6319T uses Transistor with Base output. Darlington stages provide higher current gain but different saturation characteristics. Circuit biasing and load impedance calculations may require adjustment when switching between these output types.

Q: Can all three substitutes be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: No. While all three parts share the same package and basic channel configuration, differences in isolation voltage, timing, output stage type, and forward voltage require circuit-level evaluation. HCPL-0701-500E is the only true direct replacement. HCPL0701 and SFH6319T require application-specific compatibility assessment.

Q: What is the significance of the isolation voltage difference between HCPL0701 (2500Vrms) and SFH6319T (4000Vrms)?

A: Isolation voltage rating determines the maximum voltage differential that can be safely applied across the optoisolator input and output circuits. Applications requiring 3750Vrms isolation cannot use the onsemi part. Applications requiring only 2500Vrms isolation can use the onsemi part. The Vishay part provides additional isolation margin for high-voltage applications.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. HCPL-0701-500E, HCPL0701, and SFH6319T all carry RoHS3 compliance certification with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the main part specification.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, Digi-Reel, and Tube packaging formats contain identical die and internal circuitry. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility. Electrical performance is identical across all packaging formats for the same part number.
