Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-7520-360 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Amplifier Type: Current Sense
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Bandwidth: 100 kHz
• Input Bias Current: 600 nA
• Input Offset Voltage: 600 µV
• Supply Current: 11.7 mA
• Output Current per Channel: 16 mA
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5 V to 5.5 V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Package Configuration: 8-SMD, Gull Wing (Surface Mount)

The HCPL-7520-360E qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging across all parameters listed above. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format (tube versus standard packaging) and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-7520-360E is the direct substitute for the discontinued HCPL-7520-360. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The HCPL-7520-360 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while the HCPL-7520-360E maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (5700 pieces in stock versus 671 pieces).

Compliance Consideration: The HCPL-7520-360E is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the HCPL-7520-360 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring compliance documentation, the HCPL-7520-360E is the appropriate selection.

Packaging Consideration: The HCPL-7520-360E is supplied in tube packaging, while the HCPL-7520-360 uses standard packaging. Both configurations are compatible with automated assembly processes for 8-SMD Gull Wing components.

Both parts share identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-7520-360E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-7520-360?

A: Yes. The HCPL-7520-360E is a direct substitute. All electrical parameters, including bandwidth, input bias current, input offset voltage, supply current, output current, and supply voltage range are identical. The package configuration (8-SMD Gull Wing) and mounting type (Surface Mount) are identical. Both components operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-7520-360 and HCPL-7520-360E?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product Status—HCPL-7520-360 is discontinued while HCPL-7520-360E is active; (2) RoHS Compliance—HCPL-7520-360E is ROHS3 compliant while HCPL-7520-360 is non-compliant; (3) Packaging Format—HCPL-7520-360E is supplied in tube packaging; (4) Inventory Availability—HCPL-7520-360E has higher stock levels. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting HCPL-7520-360 with HCPL-7520-360E?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts are pin-compatible, functionally equivalent, and mechanically identical in the 8-SMD Gull Wing package. PCB layout, footprint, and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Does the HCPL-7520-360E meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The HCPL-7520-360E is ROHS3 compliant. The original HCPL-7520-360 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the HCPL-7520-360E is the appropriate selection.
