ACPL-M72T-560E

Overview

The ACPL-M72T-560E is a high-speed, low-power digital CMOS optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a single channel with a push-pull output configuration housed in an SOIC-5 package. The device supports data rates up to 10 Mb/s and provides an isolation voltage of 4000 Vrms. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 10 mA, a forward voltage of 1.5 V, and typical rise and fall times of 10 ns each. It operates within a specified temperature range suitable for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• High-speed digital CMOS technology for efficient signal transmission
• Push-pull output stage providing robust drive capability
• Automotive-grade qualification ensuring reliability in harsh environments

Applications

• Hybrid electric vehicle powertrain control systems
• Electric vehicle battery management systems
• Automotive motor control interfaces
• High-voltage sensing circuits in automotive inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '560E' against official Broadcom documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q100 standards if required for your specific automotive application tier. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee compatibility with current design specifications and regulatory requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high common-mode transient immunity and fast switching speeds are required in isolated automotive environments. The SOIC-5 package offers space efficiency for compact PCB layouts. Consider the 10 Mb/s data rate limit for signal integrity analysis. Verify thermal performance under maximum operating conditions to ensure long-term reliability in vehicle-mounted electronics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL-M71T/M72T family of high-temperature digital CMOS optocouplers designed specifically for demanding automotive applications. The M72T variant distinguishes itself with a push-pull output structure, enhancing drive strength compared to open-collector alternatives. This family addresses the need for reliable galvanic isolation in hybrid and electric vehicle systems where noise immunity and speed are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the SOIC-5 package, 4000 Vrms isolation, and 10 Mb/s data rate. Verify that any substitute maintains automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) and push-pull output characteristics. Check pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation capabilities before integration into existing designs.
