Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HCPL-2630#320 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage: 5000Vrms minimum
• Number of Channels: 2 channels required
• Output Configuration: Open Collector with Schottky Clamping
• Data Rate: 10MBd minimum
• Common Mode Transient Immunity: 5kV/µs minimum
• Package Type: 8-SMD, Gull Wing form factor
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Output Current per Channel: 50 mA minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

The HCPL-2630-320E meets all these parameters and is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-2630-320E is the direct equivalent substitute for the HCPL-2630#320. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited with identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction is product status: the original HCPL-2630#320 is discontinued, while the HCPL-2630-320E maintains active status with significantly higher inventory availability (5800 units in stock versus 999 units).

From a compliance perspective, the HCPL-2630-320E offers improved regulatory standing. It is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications. For new designs or long-term production support, the HCPL-2630-320E is the preferred selection due to its active product status and enhanced compliance profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-2630-320E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-2630#320?

A: Yes. The HCPL-2630-320E is electrically and mechanically identical to the HCPL-2630#320. All electrical parameters, timing specifications, isolation ratings, and package dimensions are equivalent. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-2630#320 and HCPL-2630-320E?

A: The parts are functionally identical. The primary differences are product status (discontinued versus active), packaging format (unspecified versus tube), inventory availability, and RoHS compliance level. The HCPL-2630-320E is ROHS3 compliant while the original is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-SMD, Gull Wing package with identical pinout and mechanical specifications. They are pin-for-pin compatible with no layout modifications needed.

Q: Why is the HCPL-2630#320 discontinued?

A: The original part number is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The HCPL-2630-320E remains in active production and is the current recommended part for this isolation function.

Q: What supply voltage range is required?

A: Both parts operate with a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. Ensure your power supply remains within this specification for proper device operation.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature range?

A: Both parts are rated for operation from -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring extended temperature ranges require alternative component selection.
