Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HCPL-263L-560E qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitution is valid when the following parameters match exactly:

• Number of Channels: 2
• Voltage - Isolation: 3750Vrms
• Common Mode Transient Immunity (Min): 10kV/µs
• Input Type: DC
• Output Type: Open Collector, Schottky Clamped
• Current - Output / Channel: 50 mA
• Data Rate: 15MBd
• Propagation Delay tpLH / tpHL (Max): 75ns, 75ns
• Rise / Fall Time (Typ): 24ns, 10ns
• Voltage - Supply: 2.7V ~ 3.6V, 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package / Case: 8-SMD, Gull Wing

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is packaging format and product status, not functional performance.
