Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-7520-560 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Amplifier Type: Current Sense (single circuit configuration)
• Electrical Specifications: -3dB 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: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
• Package Configuration: 8-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount
• Manufacturer: Broadcom Limited

The HCPL-7520-560E meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both parts share identical base product designation (HCPL-7520) and are manufactured by the same supplier.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-7520-560E is the direct substitute for the HCPL-7520-560. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and operating characteristics are identical. The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance:

• Product Status: The HCPL-7520-560E is currently active in production, whereas the HCPL-7520-560 is discontinued. This makes the HCPL-7520-560E the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

• RoHS Compliance: The HCPL-7520-560E is ROHS3 compliant, while the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the HCPL-7520-560E satisfies compliance mandates.

• Inventory Availability: The HCPL-7520-560E has higher inventory availability (2647 units) compared to the original part (1189 units), supporting supply chain continuity.

Both parts carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99), and both have MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.
