HCPL-4200-000E

Overview

The HCPL-4200-000E is a logic output optocoupler from Broadcom Limited, designed for simplex point-to-point 20 mA current loop applications. It features a single channel with DC input and operates within an isolation voltage of 3750Vrms. The device supports a maximum baud rate of 20 KBps and functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 24mA and a high-level delay time of 1µs.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for simplex point-to-point 20 mA current loop interfaces
• Provides galvanic isolation between input and output circuits
• Features logic output configuration for digital signal transmission

Applications

• Simplex point-to-point 20 mA current loop systems
• Industrial process control signal isolation
• Non-isolated active transmitter interfacing with isolated receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -000E) against official Broadcom documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS certification if required by your design specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm that the component status remains active before finalizing supply chain agreements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring isolation for standard 20 mA current loops. It is suitable for applications needing simplex communication with moderate data rates up to 20 KBps. Consider the DIP-8 package constraints and the specified operating temperature range during thermal management planning. Ensure the receiving circuitry matches the logic output characteristics provided in the datasheet.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HCPL series of optocouplers manufactured by Broadcom Limited. The series includes various models tailored for different speed and isolation requirements. The HCPL-4200-000E specifically targets industrial current loop applications, distinguishing itself from higher-speed variants like the HCPL-4500 series through its optimized performance for lower bandwidth analog-to-digital conversion tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the HCPL family that offer compatible pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that any replacement maintains the 3750Vrms isolation rating and 20 mA loop compatibility. Ensure the alternative component supports the same DIP-8 packaging if board space is constrained.
