Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-7560-060 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package Compatibility: Both main and substitute parts must use 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole mounting to ensure direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
• Channel Configuration: Both parts maintain 4-channel isolated module architecture.
• Supply Voltage: The substitute part operates at 5V nominal supply, which falls within the acceptable range for systems designed for the 4.5V to 5.5V specification.
• Operating Temperature Range: Identical -40°C to 85°C range ensures thermal compatibility across industrial applications.
• Isolation Function: Both parts function as isolated modules within the Broadcom data acquisition product line.

The HCPL-7860 substitute differs in resolution (12-bit versus 8-bit) and includes DSP interface capability, representing a functional upgrade path for applications requiring higher precision data acquisition.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-7860 is the primary substitute for the discontinued HCPL-7560-060. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Availability: The HCPL-7860 maintains active product status with 2894 units in stock, ensuring supply continuity for new designs and replacement applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: The HCPL-7860 achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing modern environmental and regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet.
• Package Compatibility: Identical 8-DIP through-hole packaging enables direct PCB substitution without layout redesign.
• Thermal and Supply Specifications: Matching operating temperature range and compatible single-supply voltage specifications maintain system-level performance characteristics.
• Enhanced Capability: The 12-bit resolution and DSP interface represent functional improvements over the 8-bit original specification, providing design flexibility for precision-dependent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-7860 be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-7560-060 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole packaging, enabling direct PCB substitution without layout modifications. Pin-to-pin compatibility is maintained for the isolated module function.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The HCPL-7860 provides 12-bit resolution compared to the 8-bit resolution of the HCPL-7560-060, and includes DSP interface capability. Both maintain 4-channel isolation and identical operating temperature ranges. The HCPL-7860 is ROHS3 compliant, while the original part is not.

Q: Is the 5V supply specification of the HCPL-7860 compatible with systems designed for 4.5V to 5.5V?

A: Yes. The 5V nominal specification of the HCPL-7860 falls within the 4.5V to 5.5V operating range of the original HCPL-7560-060, ensuring compatibility with existing power supply designs.

Q: Does the higher resolution of the HCPL-7860 require firmware or software modifications?

A: Resolution differences may require firmware adjustments depending on application-specific data processing requirements. The DSP interface of the HCPL-7860 provides additional communication capability compared to the original part.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for the HCPL-7860?

A: The HCPL-7860 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
