HCPL2530S

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The HCPL2530S is a dual-channel high-speed transistor output optocoupler manufactured by onsemi. It features an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to a photodetector transistor, providing 1 Mbit/s data rate capability. The device offers 2500 Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward current of 16 mA, a typical current transfer ratio ranging from 7% to 50%, and a power dissipation of 100 mW. It is housed in an 8-pin DIP package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Dual-channel configuration with separate inputs and outputs for independent signal isolation
• High-speed operation supporting data rates up to 1 Mbit/s
• AlGaAs LED technology combined with high-speed phototransistor detection
• Robust electrical isolation rated at 2500 Vrms

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• Logic gate applications requiring fast data transmission
• Industrial control systems needing signal isolation
• Communication interfaces requiring galvanic separation

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' indicates surface mount or tape-and-reel packaging if required, as datasheets often list HCPL2530M for tube packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer's latest documentation. Ensure the 8-pin DIP footprint matches the PCB design constraints. Check for any end-of-life notices or recommended new design alternatives provided by onsemi.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation is required alongside moderate speed performance. Compare against single-channel alternatives like the 6N135 if only one channel is needed. Consider the 1 Mbit/s limit when designing for higher baud rates. Verify that the 2500 Vrms isolation meets the safety requirements of the target application environment.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

The HCPL2530 belongs to the HCPL-25xx series of high-speed transistor optocouplers from onsemi. This family includes variants such as the HCPL-2531 (single channel) and HCPL-2503. These devices are designed to replace older logic gate optocouplers while offering improved speed and reliability through AlGaAs LED technology.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

onsemi recommends using the HCPL253xM series as the new equivalent part number for the HCPL2530. Verify pinout compatibility between the legacy HCPL2530 and the suggested replacement before implementation.
