Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HCPL-7720#060 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage: 3750Vrms (exact match required)
• Output Configuration: Push-Pull, Totem Pole topology
• Number of Channels: 1 channel
• Common Mode Transient Immunity: 10kV/µs minimum
• Data Rate: 25MBd
• Package: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)
• Propagation Delay: 40ns maximum (tpLH and tpHL)
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

The HCPL-7720-060E meets all these parameters and is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-7720-060E is the direct functional equivalent of the HCPL-7720#060. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical isolation, timing, and output parameters.
