Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HCPL-070A#060 is determined by the following critical parameters: isolation voltage rating, number of channels, output type (Darlington with Base), package configuration (8-SOIC), mounting type (Surface Mount), maximum output current (60mA), and maximum output voltage (18V).

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications and isolation voltage (3750Vrms), differing only in packaging format or product status. These parts are pin-compatible and functionally interchangeable.

Parametric Equivalents provide the same isolation voltage and output characteristics but may differ in current transfer ratio specifications or operating temperature range. These parts require verification of application-specific requirements before substitution.

Manufacturer Recommended Alternatives offer reduced isolation voltage (2500Vrms) or different electrical performance characteristics. These parts are suitable only when application requirements permit lower isolation ratings or alternative performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (Preferred): HCPL-070A-060E and HCPL-070A-000E are direct functional equivalents with identical electrical specifications. HCPL-070A-060E is packaged in Tube format and maintains active product status. HCPL-070A-000E offers ROHS3 compliance. Both parts are pin-compatible and require no circuit modifications.

Parametric Equivalent: HCPL-070A maintains identical electrical performance and isolation voltage. This part is available in higher inventory quantities and active product status, suitable for applications where packaging format is not a constraint.

Extended Temperature Range Alternative: HCPL-0700 provides the same isolation voltage and output current capability but features reduced maximum output voltage (7V versus 18V) and different current transfer ratio specifications. This part supports extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and offers significantly higher inventory availability. Substitution requires verification that application output voltage requirements do not exceed 7V.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternative: HCPL0701 from onsemi provides 2500Vrms isolation with faster switching characteristics (300ns turn-on time). This part is suitable only for applications where 2500Vrms isolation is acceptable and faster response time is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-070A-060E directly replace HCPL-070A#060?

A: Yes. HCPL-070A-060E is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications, isolation voltage (3750Vrms), output type (Darlington with Base), and package configuration (8-SOIC). The primary difference is packaging format (Tube) and active product status. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-070A and HCPL-070A-060E?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications and isolation voltage. The difference is packaging format: HCPL-070A-060E is supplied in Tube packaging, while HCPL-070A packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Both are active products with similar inventory availability.

Q: Can HCPL-0700 replace HCPL-070A#060?

A: HCPL-0700 is not a direct equivalent. While it maintains 3750Vrms isolation and 60mA output current, the maximum output voltage is reduced to 7V (compared to 18V). Substitution is possible only if application requirements permit maximum output voltage of 7V. Current transfer ratio specifications also differ. HCPL-0700 offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and significantly higher inventory availability.

Q: Is HCPL0701 from onsemi compatible with HCPL-070A#060?

A: HCPL0701 is not a direct equivalent. The isolation voltage is reduced to 2500Vrms (compared to 3750Vrms). Substitution is suitable only for applications where lower isolation voltage is acceptable. HCPL0701 offers faster switching characteristics (300ns turn-on time) and extended operating temperature range.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for this component?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the component meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances standards. HCPL-070A-060E and HCPL-070A-000E are ROHS3 compliant. The original HCPL-070A#060 is non-compliant. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for your application.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: HCPL-0700 has the highest inventory availability at 12,760 pieces. HCPL-070A has 2,340 pieces available. If immediate availability is critical, HCPL-0700 is the preferred choice, provided application requirements permit its reduced maximum output voltage (7V).

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same 8-SOIC package?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package configuration, ensuring PCB layout compatibility with the original HCPL-070A#060 design.
