Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-2212#300 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage: 3750Vrms (exact match required)
• Number of Channels: 1 channel configuration
• Output Configuration: Push-Pull, Totem Pole topology
• Common Mode Transient Immunity: 5kV/µs, 10kV/µs minimum
• Data Rate: 5MBd minimum
• Propagation Delay: 300ns maximum for both tpLH and tpHL
• Output Current: 25 mA per channel
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V ~ 20V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package Type: 8-SMD, Gull Wing (surface mount)

The HCPL-2212-300E qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility across all parameters listed above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-2212-300E is the direct equivalent substitute for the HCPL-2212#300. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status and compliance certification:

• HCPL-2212#300: Discontinued at DiGi Electronics; RoHS non-compliant; REACH Unaffected
• HCPL-2212-300E: Active product status; ROHS3 Compliant; REACH Unaffected

For new designs and ongoing system support, the HCPL-2212-300E is the recommended selection due to its active availability and ROHS3 compliance status. The part is supplied in tube packaging and maintains full functional and pin-level compatibility with the original HCPL-2212#300.
