HCPL-0930-500

Overview

The HCPL-0930-500 is a general-purpose, high-speed digital isolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features two independent channels for signal transmission across an isolation barrier using magnetic coupling technology. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V and supports data rates up to 100 Mb/s. Key electrical specifications include a common-mode transient immunity of 15 kV/µs, propagation delay of 15 ns, and an insulation voltage rating of 2500 Vrms. It functions reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation between circuits using magnetic coupling technology.
• Supports bidirectional or unidirectional signal transfer with low power consumption.
• Offers high common-mode transient immunity for noise-resistant operation.
• Delivers fast propagation delays suitable for high-speed digital communication.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring isolated signal interfaces.
• Power supply circuits needing feedback loop isolation.
• Medical equipment demanding safe patient isolation barriers.
• Data acquisition systems with noisy ground environments.

Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as discontinued or obsolete through official Broadcom channels before procurement planning. Confirm RoHS compliance details directly with the manufacturer, as current listings may indicate non-compliance. Ensure that the SOIC-8 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Validate that the magnetic coupling isolation type meets your specific safety standards compared to optical alternatives.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required without the limitations of optical couplers. Consider the 15 kV/µs CMTI rating for environments with rapid voltage changes. Evaluate the 100 Mb/s data rate against your system's bandwidth needs. Compare the 2500 Vrms insulation rating against your application's safety isolation requirements.
