ACPL-563KL

Overview

The ACPL-563KL is a Class K hermetically sealed dual-channel high-speed optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a ceramic DIP-8 package and supports a data rate of 10 Mb/s with a common mode transient immunity of 1 kV/µs. The device operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 1.5 V, delivering a current transfer ratio of 100%. Electrical parameters include a rise time of 90 ns, fall time of 40 ns, reverse voltage of 5 V, and power dissipation of 200 mW. It functions within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed Class K reliability for harsh environments
• Dual-channel configuration in an 8-pin ceramic DIP package
• High-speed signal transmission capability

Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Power supply feedback loops
• Medical equipment isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -100, -200, -300) when ordering, as these denote different tape-and-reel quantities or packaging configurations rather than functional differences. Confirm that the required Class K hermetic sealing meets the environmental standards of the target application. Ensure the ceramic DIP-8 through-hole mounting style is compatible with the PCB design. Validate that the 1500Vdc isolation rating satisfies the safety requirements of the circuit interface.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high reliability and hermetic sealing are mandatory for the application environment. The dual-channel architecture allows for efficient space utilization compared to single-channel alternatives. Consider the 10 Mb/s data rate limit when designing high-frequency communication interfaces. The ceramic package provides superior thermal and mechanical stability compared to plastic variants, making it suitable for demanding industrial or aerospace conditions where long-term durability is critical.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL-5 series, which focuses on high-speed optocouplers. The ACPL-563KL specifically addresses the need for robust isolation in Class K applications. It complements other models in the family by offering dual-channel functionality within a hermetically sealed package. The series is designed to meet stringent industry standards for noise immunity and signal integrity in isolated digital communication links.
