Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HCPL-2212#500 are qualified based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Isolation voltage rating: 3750Vrms
• Number of channels: 1
• Input configuration: 1 input, 0 side 2 inputs
• Output type: Push-Pull, Totem Pole
• Output current per channel: 25 mA
• Data rate: 5MBd
• Common mode transient immunity: 5kV/µs, 10kV/µs
• Propagation delay specifications: 300ns maximum (both directions)
• Rise and fall time characteristics: 30ns rise, 7ns fall (typical)
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V ~ 20V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package type: 8-SMD, Gull Wing
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

The HCPL-2212-500E meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HCPL-2212#500 and HCPL-2212-500E are electrically and mechanically identical optoisolators from Broadcom Limited. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

The HCPL-2212-500E is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the HCPL-2212#500 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer specifications requiring RoHS3 compliance must use the HCPL-2212-500E variant.

The HCPL-2212-500E has significantly higher inventory availability (12720 units) compared to the HCPL-2212#500 (616 units). For high-volume production or extended lead time requirements, the HCPL-2212-500E is the preferred selection.

Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, isolation ratings, timing characteristics, and thermal operating ranges. No functional differences exist between these variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-2212-500E be used as a direct replacement for HCPL-2212#500?

A: Yes. The HCPL-2212-500E is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. All isolation voltage, output current, timing, and thermal specifications are identical. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-2212#500 and HCPL-2212-500E?

A: The HCPL-2212-500E is ROHS3 compliant while the HCPL-2212#500 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics. The HCPL-2212-500E has higher stock availability.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-SMD Gull Wing package with identical pinout and mounting configuration. They are fully interchangeable at the PCB assembly level.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. If RoHS3 compliance is required, use HCPL-2212-500E. If RoHS compliance is not a constraint, either part is acceptable based on availability and lead time considerations.

Q: Do these parts have the same isolation voltage rating?

A: Yes. Both the HCPL-2212#500 and HCPL-2212-500E are rated for 3750Vrms isolation voltage with identical common mode transient immunity specifications of 5kV/µs and 10kV/µs.
