ACPL-W61L-560E

Overview

The ACPL-W61L-560E is a single-channel high-speed digital optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It integrates an AlGaAs light-emitting diode with a high-gain integrated photodetector to provide electrical isolation between circuits. The device features a logic output type and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. Key electrical parameters include a data rate of 10MBd, maximum propagation delay of 80ns for both rise and fall transitions, and typical rise/fall times of 12ns. It offers an isolation voltage of 5kVrms and supports a maximum forward current of 8mA with a typical forward voltage of 1.3V. The component is housed in a 6-pin SSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates AlGaAs LED with high-gain photodetector for efficient signal transmission
• Provides robust electrical isolation via 5kVrms insulation voltage rating
• Features push-pull output stage for fast switching performance

Applications

• High-speed data communication interfaces requiring galvanic isolation
• Industrial control systems with noise-sensitive signal paths
• Power supply feedback loops for isolated voltage regulation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '560E' against the official Broadcom datasheet to confirm packaging configuration and compliance status. Ensure the SSOP-6 footprint matches the target PCB design. Check for RoHS and REACH compliance documentation prior to integration. Confirm that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C aligns with the intended application environment requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single channel with 10MBd speed and 5kVrms isolation is required. Compare against ACPL-W61L-000E if lower speed or different packaging is acceptable. Consider the 8-SOIC package options like ACPL-K64L-560E if dual-channel capability is needed instead of single-channel. Evaluate power dissipation limits relative to the system's thermal constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL-x6xL series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom. The series is designed for applications demanding fast response times and reliable isolation. The ACPL-W61L variant specifically denotes a single-channel device in a compact SSOP package, distinguishing it from wider SOIC packages or multi-channel variants within the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

ACPL-W61L-000E is a documented alternative within the same series offering similar functional characteristics.
