Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-263L-060 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of channels: 2
• Isolation voltage: 3750Vrms
• Common mode transient immunity: 10kV/µs minimum
• Output configuration: Open collector with Schottky clamping
• Output current per channel: 50 mA
• Data rate: 15MBd
• Supply voltage ranges: 2.7V ~ 3.6V and 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Package type: 8-DIP through-hole
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C

The HCPL-263L-060E meets all these parameters and is classified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is packaging format (tube vs. bulk) and product status (active vs. discontinued).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-263L-060E is the direct functional equivalent of the HCPL-263L-060. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, timing characteristics, and physical package dimensions. The HCPL-263L-060E is preferred for new designs and ongoing production due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The original HCPL-263L-060 is no longer actively distributed, making the HCPL-263L-060E the appropriate selection for component procurement and system continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-263L-060E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-263L-060?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. All functional parameters, timing specifications, isolation voltage, output current ratings, and package dimensions are equivalent. The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance level.

Q: What is the difference between the HCPL-263L-060 and HCPL-263L-060E?

A: The HCPL-263L-060E is the active production variant. The original HCPL-263L-060 is discontinued. The HCPL-263L-060E also carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original is RoHS non-compliant. Packaging is supplied in tube format for the HCPL-263L-060E.

Q: Are there any pin configuration or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package with identical pin assignments and PCB footprint requirements.

Q: What supply voltages are supported?

A: Both parts support dual supply voltage ranges: 2.7V to 3.6V and 4.5V to 5.5V, allowing operation in both low-voltage and standard logic systems.

Q: Is the HCPL-263L-060E suitable for high-speed isolation applications?

A: Yes. The part supports 15MBd data rates with 10kV/µs common mode transient immunity and propagation delays of 75ns maximum, making it suitable for high-speed digital isolation in industrial and automotive applications.
