HCPL0500V

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The HCPL0500V is a single-channel high-speed optocoupler manufactured by onsemi, featuring a phototransistor output with an accessible base terminal. It provides 2500 Vrms isolation voltage and supports data rates up to 1 Mb/s. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-SOIC narrow package. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 16 mA, forward voltage of 1.45 V, rise/fall times of 1.5 µs, and a collector current of 8 mA.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation between input and output circuits via an internal LED and phototransistor structure.
• Features a dedicated base terminal on the phototransistor output to allow for external biasing or speed optimization.
• Designed for high-speed digital signal transmission with specified propagation delay characteristics.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• Industrial communication interfaces requiring electrical isolation
• Microcontroller I/O isolation for noise immunity
• Power supply feedback loops

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the SOIC-8 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 1.5 µs switching speed meets the system timing requirements before finalizing procurement.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a phototransistor output with a base pin is required for customizable drive strength or faster switching than standard configurations. Compare the 1.5 µs transition times against system latency needs. Consider the 2500 Vrms isolation rating for safety compliance in low-voltage control applications interfacing with higher potential domains.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the HCPL0500 series of high-speed optocouplers from onsemi. It shares the same functional architecture as the HCPL0500R2 but differs in packaging and trailing zeros indicating tape-and-reel availability versus cut-tape or tube variations. The series is designed for general-purpose high-speed isolation tasks.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

HCPL0500R2 is a direct functional equivalent within the same family, differing primarily in packaging format (Reel/Cut Tape vs. Tube/Variants). Verify package width and pin spacing compatibility during substitution.
