Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HCPL-4200#300 and HCPL-4200-300E are active production parts from Broadcom Limited with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

RoHS Compliance Requirement: The HCPL-4200-300E carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the HCPL-4200#300 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the HCPL-4200-300E variant.

Availability: The HCPL-4200-300E offers significantly higher current inventory (2356 units) compared to the HCPL-4200#300 (788 units), providing better supply chain flexibility.

Regulatory & Certification Status: Both parts maintain identical CSA and UR approvals, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. Both carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-4200-300E be used as a direct replacement for HCPL-4200#300?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical electrical performance specifications, isolation voltage, propagation delay, output current, supply voltage range, and operating temperature range. The 8-SMD Gull Wing package configuration is identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing PCB designs.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The HCPL-4200-300E is ROHS3 compliant, while the HCPL-4200#300 is RoHS non-compliant. All other electrical, mechanical, and regulatory specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the identical 8-DIP Gull Wing surface mount package with the same pin configuration and mechanical footprint.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the HCPL-4200-300E is the appropriate choice. Both parts are active production items with full manufacturer support.

Q: Is the isolation voltage specification identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the HCPL-4200#300 and HCPL-4200-300E provide 3750Vrms isolation voltage with 1kV/µs common mode transient immunity.

Q: Are the thermal and timing characteristics the same?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and share identical propagation delay (1.6µs, 1µs maximum) and rise/fall time specifications (55ns, 15ns typical).
