IL 716TE Digital Isolator - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL 716TE is a General Purpose Digital Isolator manufactured by NVE Corp/Isolation Products, part of the IsoLoop® series. This component provides galvanic isolation for digital signals across a 2500Vrms barrier using Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) technology. The IL 716TE is classified as an Active product with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Digital isolators are essential in applications requiring signal isolation between circuits operating at different voltage potentials or ground references. Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific compliance requirements in target applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between IL 716TE and IL 716T is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the IsoLoop® series. Both parts share identical functional specifications:

Critical Equivalence Parameters:

• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms
• Channel configuration: 4 channels, unidirectional, 2 inputs per side
• Data rate: 110Mbps
• CMTI: 100kV/µs minimum
• Propagation delay: 15ns maximum (both directions)
• Supply voltage: 3V ~ 5.5V
• Operating temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Package: 16-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width)
• Technology: GMR

Differentiation Factors:

• RoHS compliance status differs between variants
• ECCN classification differs
• Packaging designation differs (Tube vs. unspecified)

Both parts are Active products from the same manufacturer and series, confirming functional interchangeability at the circuit level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IL 716TE Selection Criteria:

• Required for applications mandating RoHS3 compliance
• Suitable for export markets with ROHS3 requirements
• ECCN classification EAR99 applies standard export controls
• Recommended for new designs targeting environmental compliance standards

IL 716T Selection Criteria:

• Applicable in legacy systems or non-RoHS-restricted applications
• ECCN classification 5A991A applies specific export control requirements
• Suitable where RoHS compliance is not a contractual or regulatory requirement
• Inventory availability: 829 units in stock

Substitution Feasibility: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Selection between IL 716TE and IL 716T depends on compliance requirements and export control classifications specific to the end application and target market. No functional performance differences exist between the two variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are IL 716TE and IL 716T functionally interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including isolation voltage (2500Vrms), channel configuration (4 channels), data rate (110Mbps), CMTI (100kV/µs), propagation delay (15ns), and supply voltage range (3V ~ 5.5V). Both use GMR technology and are packaged in 16-SOIC form factor.

Q: What is the primary difference between IL 716TE and IL 716T?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status (IL 716TE is ROHS3 Compliant; IL 716T is RoHS non-compliant) and ECCN export control classification (IL 716TE: EAR99; IL 716T: 5A991A). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I substitute IL 716T for IL 716TE in a new design?

A: Substitution is possible only if RoHS3 compliance is not required by design specifications, regulatory requirements, or customer contracts. Verify compliance requirements before substitution.

Q: Can I substitute IL 716TE for IL 716T in an existing design?

A: Yes. IL 716TE is a direct functional equivalent with enhanced compliance status. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there any package differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use identical 16-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width) surface mount packaging. PCB layout and footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both IL 716TE and IL 716T have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate from -40°C to 125°C, supporting identical thermal specifications for system design.

Q: What supply voltage range do these isolators support?

A: Both parts operate with supply voltage from 3V to 5.5V, supporting 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
