HCPL-2400-360E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCPL-2400-360E is a logic output optoisolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, currently in active product status. This 8-DIP gull wing surface mount device provides 3.75kVrms isolation with tri-state output configuration, operating at 40MBd data rate. The device is designed for applications requiring high-speed digital isolation with controlled output impedance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent isolation voltage, channel configuration, and output characteristics can be maintained within specified electrical and mechanical tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HCPL-2400-360E are identified based on the following critical parameters:

• Single channel configuration (1 input, 0 side 2 inputs)
• Isolation voltage rating of 3750Vrms or higher
• Output type compatibility (tri-state or push-pull configurations acceptable for logic isolation applications)
• Data rate capability of 15MBd or higher
• Surface mount packaging with compatible pinout
• Active product status with ROHS3 compliance
• Operating temperature range supporting -40°C minimum

The ACPL-W70L-060E meets these criteria with enhanced specifications in isolation voltage (5000Vrms), common mode transient immunity (10kV/µs), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), while maintaining single-channel architecture and surface mount configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HCPL-2400-360E and ACPL-W70L-060E are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:

The HCPL-2400-360E is appropriate for applications requiring tri-state output configuration, higher output current capability (25mA), and higher data rate operation (40MBd) within the 4.75V to 5.25V supply range and -40°C to 85°C temperature envelope.

The ACPL-W70L-060E is appropriate for applications requiring higher isolation voltage (5000Vrms), enhanced common mode transient immunity (10kV/µs), extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), and dual supply voltage compatibility (3V to 3.6V or 4.5V to 5.5V), accepting the trade-off of lower output current (10mA) and lower data rate (15MBd).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ACPL-W70L-060E directly replace HCPL-2400-360E in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires circuit-level evaluation. The ACPL-W70L-060E has different output type (push-pull vs. tri-state), lower output current (10mA vs. 25mA), lower data rate (15MBd vs. 40MBd), and different supply voltage requirements. PCB layout and signal integrity considerations may require modification.

Q: What are the key differences in output configuration?

A: The HCPL-2400-360E provides tri-state output, allowing high-impedance state for bus-sharing applications. The ACPL-W70L-060E provides push-pull totem pole output with active high and low drive capability. Application requirements determine which configuration is suitable.

Q: Are there package compatibility considerations?

A: The HCPL-2400-360E uses 8-DIP gull wing packaging (8-SMD). The ACPL-W70L-060E uses 6-SOIC packaging (6-SSO). These are physically different packages requiring separate PCB footprints and cannot be interchanged without board redesign.

Q: What isolation voltage margin exists between these parts?

A: The HCPL-2400-360E provides 3750Vrms isolation. The ACPL-W70L-060E provides 5000Vrms isolation, representing a 1250Vrms margin increase. Applications with higher isolation requirements or noise environments may benefit from the higher rating.

Q: How do supply voltage ranges affect substitution?

A: The HCPL-2400-360E operates on 4.75V to 5.25V single supply. The ACPL-W70L-060E accepts 3V to 3.6V or 4.5V to 5.5V dual supply ranges. System power architecture must support the selected device's supply requirements.
