ACPL-5600L

Overview

The ACPL-5600L is a commercial grade, single-channel, hermetically sealed high-speed optocoupler designed for 3.3V logic applications. It features an 8-pin ceramic DIP package with gold-plated leads and solder-dipped options. The device integrates a GaAsP light-emitting diode coupled to an integrated high-speed photon detector, producing an open-collector Schottky clamped transistor output. Internal shielding ensures a common mode transient immunity of 1000 V/µs. It operates across the full military temperature range and supports MIL-PRF-38534 Class H or K testing.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction in an 8-pin ceramic DIP package suitable for harsh environments
• High common mode transient immunity provided by internal shielding
• Integrated high-speed photon detector with Schottky clamped transistor output
• Capable of operation over the full military temperature range

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems requiring radiation-hardened or hermetic isolation
• High-speed digital signal transmission in isolated communication interfaces
• Industrial control systems demanding high reliability and noise immunity
• Medical equipment requiring strict electrical isolation standards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the required lead form and plating option, as these are available separately. Confirm compliance with MIL-PRF-38534 Class Level H or K testing if military qualification is mandated. Ensure the supplier provides documentation for the hermetic seal integrity. Check for availability of DLA Drawing 5962-08242 compliance if government procurement is involved. Validate that the component originates from a certified manufacturing line.

Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and military-grade temperature operation are mandatory requirements. Choose the ACPL-5600L over standard plastic packages for applications exposed to moisture, vibration, or extreme temperatures. Consider the 1000 V/µs CMTI specification for noisy industrial or aerospace environments. Verify that the single-channel configuration meets the system isolation needs without requiring multiple devices. Ensure the 3.3V logic compatibility aligns with the target circuit design.

Part Context

The ACPL-5600L belongs to the ACPL-56xxL series of hermetically sealed, high-speed optocouplers. It shares the same electrical die and package assembly processes with related parts like the ACPL-563xL and ACPL-267xL. This series is manufactured on MIL-PRF-38534 certified lines. The device is part of a broader family of 3.3V logic gate optocouplers designed for high-reliability applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other parts from the ACPL-56xxL series such as the ACPL-5630L or ACPL-5600L-200, provided channel count and voltage ratings match. Verify that substitute components maintain the hermetic seal and military temperature range specifications. Cross-reference with DLA Drawing 5962-08242 qualified manufacturers for equivalent performance.
