ACPL-563KL-300

Overview

The ACPL-563KL-300 is a high-speed, dual-channel optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a hermetic DIP-8 package designed for through-hole mounting. The device supports a data rate of 10 Mb/s with a voltage isolation rating of 1500 VDC. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 1.5 V, and a reverse voltage of 5 V. The output type is a Photo IC with a current transfer ratio of 100%. Timing characteristics specify a rise time of 90 ns and a fall time of 40 ns. Power dissipation is rated at 200 mW.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction ensures reliability in harsh environments
• Dual-channel configuration provides independent signal isolation
• High-speed operation supports data rates up to 10 Mb/s
• Class K reliability rating for critical applications

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Power supply feedback loops
• Medical equipment safety circuits
• Communication interface isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-300' to confirm the hermetic DIP-8 package variant. Ensure compatibility with Class K reliability standards if used in aerospace or military contexts. Confirm that the 1500 VDC isolation rating meets system safety requirements. Check RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Validate thermal management capabilities against the 200 mW power dissipation limit during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside strict environmental sealing. The dual-channel design reduces board space compared to single-channel alternatives. Consider the 10 Mb/s data rate limit for signal integrity. The hermetic package is essential for moisture-resistant applications. Evaluate the 20 mA forward current requirement for driver circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL-563 series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom Limited. It is specifically engineered for applications demanding high reliability and fast switching speeds. The 'K' designation indicates Class K reliability standards. The 'L' suffix typically denotes lead-free packaging, while '-300' specifies the tape and reel quantity or variant details within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Class K hermetic optocouplers from Broadcom such as the ACPL-5631L-300. Verify pinout compatibility and isolation voltage ratings before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the 10 Mb/s data rate capability. Check for equivalent timing parameters like rise and fall times.
