HCPL-7721-320 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCPL-7721-320 is a logic output optoisolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for high-speed digital isolation applications. It provides 5000Vrms isolation with push-pull totem pole output configuration, supporting data rates up to 25MBd and common mode transient immunity of 10kV/µs. The part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-7721-320 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Isolation voltage: 5000Vrms
  • Common mode transient immunity: 10kV/µs minimum
  • Output configuration: Push-pull, totem pole
  • Data rate: 25MBd
  • Output current per channel: 10 mA
  • Propagation delay: 40ns maximum (both tpLH and tpHL)
  • Package type: 8-SMD, Gull Wing
  • Supply voltage range: 4.5V to 5.5V
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C

The HCPL-7721-320E meets all these parameters and is therefore a direct functional equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-7721-320E is the direct substitute for the HCPL-7721-320. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and compliance posture: the HCPL-7721-320 is discontinued, while the HCPL-7721-320E remains active in production. Additionally, the HCPL-7721-320E carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing production requiring this optoisolator specification, the HCPL-7721-320E is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-7721-320E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-7721-320?

A: Yes. The HCPL-7721-320E is electrically and mechanically identical to the HCPL-7721-320 across all specified parameters, including isolation voltage, CMTI, output configuration, data rate, propagation delay, and package type. Pin-for-pin compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The HCPL-7721-320E differs in product status (active versus discontinued) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 compliant versus non-compliant). The "E" suffix typically indicates a variant with updated compliance certifications. Electrical performance and package specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between HCPL-7721-320 and HCPL-7721-320E?

A: Both parts use the same 8-SMD Gull Wing package. The HCPL-7721-320E is supplied in Tube packaging, while the original part number does not specify a packaging format in the provided data.

Q: What isolation voltage does this optoisolator provide?

A: Both the HCPL-7721-320 and HCPL-7721-320E provide 5000Vrms isolation, suitable for high-voltage isolation applications requiring galvanic separation.

Q: What is the maximum data rate supported?

A: The maximum data rate is 25MBd for both parts, with propagation delays of 40ns maximum for both rising and falling edges.
