ACPL-W480-500E

Overview

The ACPL-W480-500E is a high-speed logic output optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a single channel with push-pull totem pole output configuration, supporting data rates up to 5 MBd. The device provides robust electrical isolation of 3750 Vrms and exhibits a common-mode transient immunity of 20 kV/µs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 20 V and supports a maximum continuous output current of 25 mA. The component is designed for surface mount installation in a 6-SO stretched package.

Feature Summary

• High-speed signal transmission capability supporting 5 MBd data rates
• Robust insulation strength rated at 3750 Vrms for safety isolation
• High common-mode transient immunity of 20 kV/µs for noise rejection
• Push-pull totem pole output stage for strong drive capability

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Power electronics gate drive circuits for inverters and converters
• Communication modules needing high-speed isolated data links
• Medical equipment requiring strict patient isolation standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' indicates the correct package variant (6-SO Stretched) as distinct from other ACPL-4800 series options. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before procurement. Ensure the supplier provides genuine Broadcom Limited components to guarantee performance specifications. Check for any specific handling requirements related to the surface-mount package type during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside significant voltage barriers. The push-pull output architecture offers superior noise immunity compared to open-collector alternatives. Consider the 3750 Vrms isolation rating for applications demanding enhanced safety separation. Evaluate the 20 kV/µs CMTI specification for environments with rapid voltage transients. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C meets system thermal constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL-4800 family of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom. The family includes variants with different output types such as open-collector or Schmitt trigger inputs. The ACPL-W480-500E specifically utilizes a totem pole output for faster switching speeds. It shares core isolation technology with other members but differs in pinout and package geometry.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include ACPL-4800-500E with potential pinout adjustments. Verify compatibility with ACPL-P480-500E if open-collector outputs are acceptable. Cross-reference ACPL-K72T-500E for similar isolation ratings but confirm package differences.
