Additional Details

The HCPL-2630-300E operates with a supply voltage (VCC) typically around 5V. It has a forward current (IF) rating suitable for LED operation. The open collector output requires a pull-up resistor for proper logic levels. The high common mode transient immunity ensures that noise on one side of the isolation barrier does not affect the other side. It is commonly used in industrial and automotive applications where robust isolation is required. The UL, CSA, and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5 approvals ensure that the device meets necessary safety requirements. Broadcom is a reputable manufacturer of optocouplers, and this part offers a reliable isolation solution for various applications.
