HCPL-5701

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The HCPL-5701 is a high-reliability, single-channel hermetically sealed optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features an 8-pin DIP ceramic package with gold-plated leads and solder-dipped connections. The device utilizes a Darlington output configuration to achieve a minimum current transfer ratio of 200% at 5mA input current. Key electrical parameters include a maximum continuous output current of 40 mA, voltage isolation of 1500 VDC, and typical switching times of 2µs for turn-on and 8µs for turn-off. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix if present, as it may indicate packaging variations or lead finish options without altering the core electrical function. Confirm that the received component matches the HCPL-5701 designation and originates from authorized distribution channels to ensure authenticity and traceability. Check for any special handling requirements associated with hermetically sealed ceramic packages during storage and assembly.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when high reliability and hermetic sealing are critical requirements for the application environment. The high current transfer ratio makes it suitable for driving loads directly without additional amplification stages. Consider the 8-pin DIP form factor for through-hole mounting constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the system's thermal specifications given the wide operational limits.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the HCPL-5701 series of logic output optocouplers produced by Broadcom Limited (formerly Avago). The series includes various channel configurations, but the HCPL-5701 specifically denotes the single-channel variant. These devices are designed for applications where long-term stability and isolation integrity are paramount, distinguishing them from standard plastic-packaged optocouplers.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements should be verified against datasheet specifications for CTR, isolation voltage, and package dimensions. Cross-reference with other hermetically sealed single-channel optocouplers from compatible manufacturers if availability is constrained.
