Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-2211#500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Isolation voltage rating of 3750Vrms
• Single-channel configuration with 1 input and 0 side 2 inputs
• Push-pull totem pole output topology
• 5MBd data rate capability
• Common mode transient immunity of 5kV/µs and 10kV/µs
• Output current capacity of 25 mA per channel
• Supply voltage range of 4.5V to 20V
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
• 8-DIP gull wing surface mount package

The HCPL-2211-500E meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-2211-500E is the direct substitute for the HCPL-2211#500. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction is product status: the HCPL-2211#500 is discontinued, while the HCPL-2211-500E maintains active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (12,880 pieces versus 697 pieces).

The HCPL-2211-500E additionally provides ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement may be advantageous for applications subject to regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-2211-500E directly replace the HCPL-2211#500 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HCPL-2211-500E is electrically and mechanically identical to the HCPL-2211#500 across all specified parameters, including isolation voltage, output configuration, data rate, timing characteristics, and supply voltage range. Pin configuration and package dimensions are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-2211#500 and HCPL-2211-500E?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. The HCPL-2211#500 is discontinued; the HCPL-2211-500E is in active production. The HCPL-2211-500E is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the original part number does not specify packaging format. The HCPL-2211-500E also carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching to the HCPL-2211-500E?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are 8-DIP gull wing surface mount components with identical electrical characteristics, timing parameters, and thermal operating ranges. PCB layout and circuit design require no modification.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The HCPL-2211#500 has limited remaining inventory (697 pieces). The HCPL-2211-500E has substantially higher availability (12,880 pieces) and active production status, making it the preferred choice for new orders and long-term supply continuity.
