HDSP-511G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HDSP-511G is a single-character 7-segment LED display module manufactured by Broadcom Limited. This green display operates as a common anode configuration and is housed in a 10-DIP package. The component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits selection from qualified alternatives that maintain functional compatibility within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HDSP-511G is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Display Type: 7-Segment (single character)
• Common Pin Configuration: Common Anode
• Color: Green
• Package / Case: 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm)
• Product Status: Active

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Digit/Alpha Size: ±0.04" tolerance (0.52" to 0.56")
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 2.0V to 2.2V range
• Current - Test: 10mA to 20mA range
• Millicandela Rating: Variation permitted
• Physical Dimensions: Minor height/width/depth variations within DIP package constraints
• Wavelength - Peak: 565nm to 568nm range

Both identified substitute parts (SA52-11GWA and XDUG14A) maintain the mandatory compatibility parameters and operate within the allowable variation ranges for electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications requiring green 7-segment common anode displays in 10-DIP packages.

HDSP-511G (Broadcom Limited): Primary specification reference. Lowest forward voltage (2.06V) and lowest current draw (10mA) with moderate brightness (4.1mcd).

SA52-11GWA (Kingbright): Acceptable substitute with slightly reduced digit size (0.52" vs. 0.56"). Operates at higher forward voltage (2.2V) and current (20mA) with increased brightness (10.5mcd). Suitable for applications where higher luminous intensity is beneficial and circuit design accommodates increased current requirements.

XDUG14A (SunLED): Acceptable substitute with matching digit size (0.56"). Operates at lower forward voltage (2.0V) and equivalent current (10mA) with increased brightness (11mcd). Suitable for applications prioritizing lower voltage operation and higher brightness output.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA52-11GWA be used as a direct replacement for HDSP-511G?

A: SA52-11GWA is functionally compatible as a substitute. The primary difference is digit size (0.52" vs. 0.56"), which may affect visual display proportions in space-constrained applications. Forward voltage is 2.2V (vs. 2.06V) and current is 20mA (vs. 10mA), requiring circuit design verification to ensure driver capability.

Q: What are the key differences between XDUG14A and HDSP-511G?

A: XDUG14A maintains identical digit size (0.56") and current rating (10mA) as HDSP-511G. Forward voltage is slightly lower (2.0V vs. 2.06V). Brightness is higher (11mcd vs. 4.1mcd). Physical dimensions show minor variations in height and width within DIP package tolerance.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: All three parts use 10-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) packaging with common anode configuration. Pin compatibility is maintained across all three parts for standard 7-segment display applications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best brightness performance?

A: XDUG14A provides the highest brightness rating (11mcd), followed by SA52-11GWA (10.5mcd). HDSP-511G provides the lowest brightness (4.1mcd). Selection depends on application visibility requirements and ambient lighting conditions.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code (8541.41.0000). Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: What is the impact of different forward voltages on circuit design?

A: Forward voltage differences (2.0V to 2.2V range) require driver circuit verification. Current-limiting resistor values may require adjustment to maintain consistent brightness and component reliability. Designs using fixed resistor networks should be evaluated for voltage compatibility.
