ACPL-5630L

Overview

The ACPL-5630L is a commercial grade, two-channel high-speed optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a hermetically sealed ceramic DIP-8 package with gold-plated leads. The device operates at a data rate of 10 MBd and provides an isolation voltage of 1500 VDC. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, forward voltage of 1.5 V, and power dissipation of 200 mW. Rise and fall times are specified at 90 ns and 40 ns respectively, with a common-mode transient immunity of 1 kV/µs.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction in a ceramic DIP-8 package for environmental stability
• High-speed digital signal transmission capability at 10 MBd data rates
• Dual-channel configuration with open collector, Schottky clamped outputs

Applications

• Space-qualified electronic systems requiring radiation-hardened isolation
• Industrial control interfaces demanding high common-mode noise immunity
• Medical equipment requiring reliable galvanic isolation between circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code (e.g., -200, -300) to confirm tape-and-reel quantity or packaging variations. Ensure the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with your PCB design constraints. Validate that the 1500 VDC isolation rating satisfies your system's safety standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation is required within a single package footprint. The ceramic DIP-8 form factor is suitable for applications needing robust mechanical stability and hermetic sealing. Consider the 10 MBd speed limit against your system's maximum data throughput requirements. Evaluate the 1 kV/µs CMTI specification against the noise environment of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom. It is distinct from surface-mount variants like the ACPL-W70L, offering through-hole installation instead. The series generally targets industrial and aerospace markets where reliability and isolation performance are critical. The hermetic seal differentiates it from standard plastic-packaged optocouplers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other hermetically sealed dual-channel optocouplers from manufacturers such as Vishay or Isocom. Verify pin compatibility and isolation voltage ratings before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the same DIP-8 package dimensions and lead configuration.
