Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HCPL-2202-500E qualifies as a direct substitute for the HCPL-2202#500 based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Identical isolation voltage rating: 3750Vrms
• Identical common mode transient immunity: 1kV/µs minimum
• Identical output configuration: Push-pull, totem pole
• Identical data rate: 5MBd
• Identical output current per channel: 25 mA
• Identical supply voltage range: 4.5V ~ 20V
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Identical package and mounting type: 8-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount
• Identical propagation delay specifications: 300ns (tpLH and tpHL maximum)
• Identical rise and fall time characteristics: 30ns rise, 7ns fall (typical)

The HCPL-2202-500E maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with designs specified for the HCPL-2202#500.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-2202-500E is the recommended substitute for the discontinued HCPL-2202#500. The substitute part maintains active product status with Broadcom Limited and achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts share identical electrical specifications and package configurations, ensuring direct compatibility in existing circuit designs without modification.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements. The HCPL-2202-500E is preferred for new designs and applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. For legacy systems where RoHS compliance is not a constraint, either part provides equivalent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-2202-500E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-2202#500?

A: Yes. The HCPL-2202-500E provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. All critical parameters including isolation voltage, CMTI, output configuration, data rate, and package specifications are identical. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?
