HCPL-7560-500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCPL-7560-500 is a Sigma-Delta Modulator integrated circuit manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for data acquisition applications. This 8-bit, 4-channel device operates with single supply voltage (4.5V to 5.5V) and is housed in an 8-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount package. The main part number is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HCPL-7560-500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: Broadcom Limited
• Base Product Number: HCPL-7560
• Type: Sigma-Delta Modulator
• Number of Channels: 4
• Resolution: 8 bits
• Voltage Supply Source: Single Supply
• Voltage Range: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 8-SMD, Gull Wing
• Supplier Device Package: 8-SMD

The HCPL-7560-500E qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-7560-500E is the direct functional equivalent of the HCPL-7560-500. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Availability: The HCPL-7560-500 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The HCPL-7560-500E maintains active product status with higher inventory availability (1826 units in stock versus 1013 units for the main part).

Regulatory Compliance: The HCPL-7560-500E is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the HCPL-7560-500 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the HCPL-7560-500E is the appropriate selection.

Packaging Format: The HCPL-7560-500E is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The HCPL-7560-500 is supplied in tube packaging. Selection depends on production methodology and volume requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters, including voltage supply, operating temperature range, channel count, resolution, and package dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-7560-500E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-7560-500 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HCPL-7560-500E is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Pin configuration, voltage requirements, operating temperature range, and functional specifications are identical. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the HCPL-7560-500 and HCPL-7560-500E?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (tube versus Tape & Reel), product status (discontinued versus active), and RoHS compliance (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Is the HCPL-7560-500E suitable for high-volume production?

A: Yes. The Tape & Reel packaging format of the HCPL-7560-500E is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes typical in high-volume manufacturing. The active product status ensures consistent supply chain availability.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting the HCPL-7560-500E?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the specified voltage range (4.5V to 5.5V) and temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). No derating or design modifications are necessary.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect functional performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not functional performance. Both parts deliver identical electrical characteristics and performance in circuit operation.

Q: What packaging considerations should be evaluated when transitioning from HCPL-7560-500 to HCPL-7560-500E?

A: The HCPL-7560-500E uses Tape & Reel packaging, which requires compatible feeder equipment for automated assembly. If transitioning from tube packaging, verify that assembly equipment supports 8-SMD Gull Wing component feeding from tape reels.
