Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-4506#560 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Isolation voltage: 3750Vrms
• Common mode transient immunity: 15kV/µs minimum
• Output configuration: Open collector with Schottky clamping
• Single channel architecture
• Output current capability: 15 mA per channel
• Propagation delay specifications: tpLH 550ns, tpHL 400ns maximum
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V to 30V
• Package type: 8-DIP gull wing surface mount
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 100°C

The HCPL-4506-560E meets all these parameters and is manufactured by the same supplier (Broadcom Limited), making it a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-4506-560E is the direct substitute for the HCPL-4506#560. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including isolation voltage, CMTI rating, output configuration, and package type. The HCPL-4506-560E is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability.

The HCPL-4506-560E provides ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original HCPL-4506#560 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the HCPL-4506-560E is the appropriate selection. The HCPL-4506-560E is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes, whereas the original part was supplied in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-4506-560E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-4506#560?

A: Yes. The HCPL-4506-560E is electrically and mechanically identical to the HCPL-4506#560 across all specified parameters, including isolation voltage, CMTI, output type, current rating, propagation delay, and package configuration. Pin-for-pin compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-4506#560 and HCPL-4506-560E?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The HCPL-4506#560 is discontinued and RoHS non-compliant. The HCPL-4506-560E is in active production and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging differs: the original is supplied in bulk, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications for isolation voltage (3750Vrms), common mode transient immunity (15kV/µs), output current (15 mA), propagation delay (550ns/400ns), and supply voltage range (4.5V to 30V).

Q: Is the 8-DIP gull wing package identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same 8-SMD gull wing surface mount package with identical pin configuration and mechanical dimensions.

Q: Should I consider the RoHS compliance difference when selecting a substitute?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement for products sold in certain markets. If your application or end-market requires RoHS compliance, the HCPL-4506-560E is the appropriate selection. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are functionally equivalent.
