HCPL-6730

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The HCPL-6730 is a commercial-grade, two-channel optocoupler featuring hermetically sealed Darlington transistor outputs. It utilizes a 20-pad Leadless Ceramic Chip Carrier (LCCC) package with solder-dipped pads for surface mounting. The device provides 1500VDC isolation between input and output circuits. It supports a data rate of 0.1MBps and operates with a maximum forward current of 10mA. The output type is configured as Darlington, capable of handling a maximum output current of 40mA with an output voltage rating of 20V.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction ensures reliability in diverse environments

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with LCCC footprint dimensions during PCB layout. Confirm thermal management requirements for the ceramic carrier assembly. Check isolation voltage ratings against system safety standards before integration.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and high isolation voltage are critical. The Darlington output suits applications needing high sensitivity without external amplification. Consider the 20-pin LCCC form factor for compact, robust surface-mount designs. Evaluate the 0.1MBps speed limit against system timing requirements.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to Broadcom's HCPL series of optocouplers, designed for industrial and commercial isolation needs. The HCPL-6730 specifically addresses applications requiring hermetic sealing and dual-channel functionality within a single ceramic package, distinguishing it from standard plastic-packaged alternatives.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 20-pin LCCC package and hermetic seal. Verify equivalent isolation voltage and Darlington output characteristics. Cross-reference pinouts to ensure compatibility with existing footprints.
