Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HCPL-7860-500E qualifies as a direct substitute for the HCPL-7860#500 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (HCPL-7860), manufacturer (Broadcom Limited), and all critical specifications:

• 4-channel isolated module configuration
• 12-bit resolution
• Single supply voltage operation (4.5V ~ 5.5V)
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Matching surface mount package (8-SMD, Gull Wing)
• Same MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, not functional or electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-7860-500E is the direct functional equivalent for the discontinued HCPL-7860#500. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The HCPL-7860-500E offers the additional advantage of active product status with current inventory availability and ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant and discontinued. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this isolated 12-bit, 4-channel data acquisition module, the HCPL-7860-500E is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HCPL-7860#500 and HCPL-7860-500E electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 12-bit resolution, 4-channel configuration, single supply voltage (4.5V ~ 5.5V), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C).

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

A: The HCPL-7860-500E is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance. The HCPL-7860#500 is discontinued and RoHS non-compliant. Functionally and mechanically, they are equivalent.

Q: Can I use the HCPL-7860-500E as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HCPL-7860-500E maintains identical package configuration (8-SMD, Gull Wing), pinout, and electrical performance, enabling direct substitution in PCB layouts and circuit designs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the same 8-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount package. The HCPL-7860-500E is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging options.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the HCPL-7860-500E?

A: The HCPL-7860-500E is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original HCPL-7860#500 is RoHS non-compliant but also REACH unaffected.
