HCPL-5700#100

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The HCPL-5700#100 is a commercial-grade, single-channel logic output optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a hermetically sealed ceramic package with an 8-SMD Butt Joint form factor. The device utilizes a Darlington transistor output configuration to achieve a high current transfer ratio of 1500%. Key electrical specifications include a maximum continuous output current of 40 mA, a forward voltage of 1.7 V at 5 mA forward current, and a maximum propagation delay of 100 µs. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction in a ceramic package for environmental stability
• Darlington output stage providing high current transfer capability
• Inverter logic function for signal inversion applications
• Gold-plated leads available for enhanced solderability

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• High-reliability industrial control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Medical equipment demanding strict safety and hermetic sealing standards
• Military and aerospace electronic circuits
• Power supply feedback loops in isolated converter designs

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #100 corresponds to the 8-SMD Butt Joint package variant, as other suffixes indicate different physical packages such as DIP-8. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as datasheets may list it as non-compliant depending on the manufacturing date code. Ensure the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range and that the hermetic seal integrity is required for the deployment scenario.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when high current drive capability is needed from a low-power input signal without external amplification. The Darlington output allows for direct driving of loads up to 40 mA. Consider the Butt Joint SMD package for automated surface-mount assembly processes where space constraints preclude through-hole DIP variants. Verify that the 100 µs propagation delay meets the timing requirements of the target digital interface.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the HCPL-5700 series of logic output optocouplers. The series is characterized by its hermetically sealed ceramic packages, distinguishing it from standard plastic-packaged optocouplers. The series includes various package options such as DIP-8 and SMD configurations, catering to different mounting and reliability requirements across commercial, industrial, and military sectors.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements must match the 8-SMD Butt Joint package and Darlington output type. Verify that substitute components offer equivalent isolation voltage ratings and current transfer ratios. Cross-reference package dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB footprints.
