IL 710-2 Digital Isolator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL 710-2 is a general purpose digital isolator manufactured by NVE Corp/Isolation Products, part of the IsoLoop® series. This component provides galvanic isolation using Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) technology with a 2500Vrms isolation rating and single-channel unidirectional data transmission capability. The IL 710-2 operates at data rates up to 110Mbps with a common mode transient immunity of 100kV/µs and is housed in an 8-DIP through-hole package.

The IL 710-2 is classified as an active product. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical isolation specifications, channel configuration, data rate performance, and physical package compatibility. Alternative components may be required due to packaging availability, RoHS compliance requirements, or inventory considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the IL 710-2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Isolation voltage rating: 2500Vrms
• Number of channels: 1
• Channel configuration: Unidirectional
• Data rate: 110Mbps/110MBd
• Package type: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)
• Mounting method: Through Hole
• Supply voltage range: 3V ~ 5.5V
• Propagation delay: 15ns maximum (both directions)
• Pulse width distortion: 3ns maximum
• Rise/Fall time: 1ns typical

Secondary Consideration:

• Common Mode Transient Immunity (CMTI) differs between IL 710-2 (100kV/µs) and HCPL-9000-000E (15kV/µs). This parameter variation does not prevent substitution in applications where the lower CMTI specification is acceptable.

All identified substitutes maintain identical electrical isolation performance, channel architecture, and timing characteristics within the specified tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IL 710-2E (NVE Corp/Isolation Products)

The IL 710-2E is a direct equivalent to the IL 710-2 with identical electrical specifications and performance characteristics. The primary distinction is RoHS3 compliance status. The IL 710-2E is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance. Both parts share the same IsoLoop® series designation, GMR technology platform, and 100kV/µs CMTI specification. The IL 710-2E is supplied in tube packaging and maintains full compatibility with IL 710-2 applications.

HCPL-9000-000E (Broadcom Limited)

The HCPL-9000-000E is a cross-manufacturer substitute manufactured by Broadcom Limited. This component maintains the 2500Vrms isolation rating, single-channel unidirectional architecture, 110MBd data rate, and identical timing specifications (15ns propagation delay, 3ns pulse width distortion). The HCPL-9000-000E features an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) compared to the IL 710-2 (-40°C ~ 100°C) and is RoHS3 compliant. The CMTI specification is 15kV/µs, which is lower than the IL 710-2 specification of 100kV/µs. This component is suitable for applications where the lower CMTI rating is acceptable and extended temperature operation is required.

Both substitute parts are active products with established supply availability and are suitable for direct component selection in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IL 710-2E be used as a direct replacement for IL 710-2?

A: Yes. The IL 710-2E is electrically and mechanically identical to the IL 710-2. Both components share the same isolation voltage (2500Vrms), channel configuration (1 unidirectional), data rate (110Mbps), timing specifications, and 8-DIP package. The primary difference is RoHS3 compliance status of the IL 710-2E. Both parts are compatible with identical PCB layouts and application circuits.

Q: What is the key difference between IL 710-2 and HCPL-9000-000E?

A: The IL 710-2 and HCPL-9000-000E share identical isolation voltage (2500Vrms), channel count (1), data rate (110Mbps/110MBd), propagation delay (15ns), and pulse width distortion (3ns) specifications. The HCPL-9000-000E has a lower common mode transient immunity specification (15kV/µs versus 100kV/µs) and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 100°C). The HCPL-9000-000E is manufactured by Broadcom Limited and is RoHS3 compliant.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. The IL 710-2, IL 710-2E, and HCPL-9000-000E are all housed in 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole packages with identical pinout configurations. All three components are suitable for use in the same PCB footprint and socket configuration.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Both IL 710-2E and HCPL-9000-000E are RoHS3 compliant. The IL 710-2E maintains the same manufacturer (NVE Corp/Isolation Products) and IsoLoop® series designation as the original IL 710-2, with identical CMTI specification (100kV/µs). The HCPL-9000-000E is a cross-manufacturer option with lower CMTI (15kV/µs) but extended temperature range.

Q: Does the lower CMTI specification of HCPL-9000-000E affect compatibility?

A: The HCPL-9000-000E common mode transient immunity specification of 15kV/µs is lower than the IL 710-2 specification of 100kV/µs. Substitution is appropriate for applications where the 15kV/µs CMTI rating is sufficient. Applications requiring the higher 100kV/µs CMTI specification should use IL 710-2 or IL 710-2E.

Q: What is the inventory status of each part?

A: IL 710-2 has 967 pieces in stock. IL 710-2E has 2650 pieces in stock. HCPL-9000-000E has 1169 pieces in stock. All parts are listed as new original stock.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The IL 710-2 packaging specification is listed as "-" (not specified). Both IL 710-2E and HCPL-9000-000E are supplied in tube packaging. All three components use the same 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) physical package format suitable for through-hole mounting.
