HCPL-2211

Logic Output Optoisolators Overview

The HCPL-2211 is a high-speed, single-channel optocoupler featuring an AlGaAs infrared LED and a totem pole output stage. It operates with a data rate of 5 MBd and provides an isolation voltage of 3750 Vrms. The device supports a forward current of up to 5 mA with a typical forward voltage of 1.5 V. Electrical performance includes a typical rise time of 30 ns and a fall time of 7 ns. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and is housed in an 8-pin DIP package.

Logic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED emitter with a totem pole optical receiver for logic gate applications.
• Provides high common-mode transient immunity suitable for noisy industrial environments.
• Delivers fast signal propagation with nanosecond-level rise and fall times.

Logic Output Optoisolators Applications

• High-speed digital signal isolation in industrial control systems
• Gate drive circuits for power electronics
• Data communication interfaces requiring galvanic isolation

Logic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (e.g., -000E) to confirm packaging type, as variants exist in tube or tape-and-reel formats. Ensure compliance requirements such as RoHS status match project specifications. Confirm that the 8-pin DIP package aligns with PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Logic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a single channel with totem pole output is required for high-speed logic isolation. Compare against the HCNW2211 if surface mount packaging or higher isolation voltage ratings are necessary. Verify that the 3750 Vrms isolation rating meets the safety standards of the target application environment.

Logic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This device belongs to the Broadcom HCPL series of high-speed optocouplers. It is functionally similar to the HCPL-0211 but utilizes a through-hole DIP package instead of surface mount. The series is designed for applications demanding rapid signal transmission across isolated boundaries while maintaining electrical safety.

Logic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

The HCNW2211 serves as a functional equivalent offering identical electrical characteristics but in a surface-mount package. Direct pin-to-pin replacement requires verifying package compatibility and ensuring the application supports the alternative form factor.

Logic Output Optoisolators FAQ

What is the output configuration of the HCPL-2211?

The HCPL-2211 features a totem pole (push-pull) output stage, which allows for faster switching speeds compared to open-collector outputs.

Does the HCPL-2211 support AC input signals?

No, the HCPL-2211 is designed for DC input signals only, as specified in its technical documentation.
