Broadcom DC Input Optocoupler, Surface, 8-Pin SOIC

Broadcom HCPL Series Optocoupler, 3750V Isolation Voltage, -40°C Minimum Operating Temperature - HCPL-0201-000E

This optocoupler provides galvanic separation between input and output for signal isolation in electronic systems. It is designed for surface PCB mounting in an 8-pin SOIC package and operates across a broad temperature range, making it suitable for general industrial applications requiring a logic-level output.

Features and Benefits:

• 3750Vac isolation enhances protection between circuits
  30ns rise time enables fast digital signal transmission
  7ns fall time reduces signal settling and latency
  10mA maximum input supports low-drive control circuits
  1.85V maximum forward voltage minimises LED drive requirements
  Surface mount SOIC package supports automated assembly

Applications

• Suitable for isolating microcontroller logic from power stages
  Ideal for fast digital Interface level translation
  Used for protecting measurement circuitry from high‑voltage transients
  Can be used for single-channel industrial signal isolation
  Suitable for tape-and-reel pick-and-place production

What mounting method is recommended for Compact PCBs?
