Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HCPL-263N#300 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Channels: Must be 2
• Voltage - Isolation: Must be 3750Vrms
• Common Mode Transient Immunity (Min): Must be 15kV/µs
• Output Type: Must be Open Collector, Schottky Clamped
• Current - Output / Channel: Must be 50 mA
• Data Rate: Must be 10MBd
• Propagation Delay tpLH / tpHL (Max): Must be 100ns, 100ns
• Voltage - Supply: Must be 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating Temperature: Must be -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package / Case: Must be 8-SMD, Gull Wing

The HCPL-263N-300E meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-263N-300E is the direct substitute for the discontinued HCPL-263N#300. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status and compliance certification. The HCPL-263N#300 is discontinued and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The HCPL-263N-300E is currently active and ROHS3 compliant, making it the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements where regulatory compliance is mandated.

Both parts are packaged in 8-DIP Gull Wing configuration and maintain equivalent performance characteristics for isolation voltage, data rate, propagation delay, and output current specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-263N-300E be used as a direct replacement for HCPL-263N#300?

A: Yes. The HCPL-263N-300E is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical parameters, including isolation voltage (3750Vrms), data rate (10MBd), propagation delay (100ns), output current (50 mA), and supply voltage (4.5V ~ 5.5V) are identical. The package configuration (8-SMD, Gull Wing) is also identical.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-263N#300 and HCPL-263N-300E?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. HCPL-263N#300 is discontinued and RoHS non-compliant. HCPL-263N-300E is active and ROHS3 compliant. The packaging differs in that HCPL-263N-300E is supplied in Tube packaging, while HCPL-263N#300 packaging is unspecified. All functional and electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any pin configuration differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the same 8-DIP Gull Wing package configuration with identical pin assignments and electrical characteristics.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The HCPL-263N-300E carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The identical package type (8-SMD, Gull Wing) and pin configuration allow direct PCB-level substitution without layout modifications.
