Broadcom 2-Channel Surface Mount Optocoupler 8-Pin SO HCPL-315J-500E

Broadcom HCPL-315J-500E is a 2-channel optocoupler designed for surface mount applications in power electronics. Featuring an infrared LED optically coupled to an integrated power output stage, it is optimized for driving IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor control inverters and industrial automation.

The device offers a high isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms, ensuring safety and noise immunity in high voltage environments. With a maximum forward voltage of 1.95 V and maximum input current of 16 mA, it facilitates efficient LED operation. It provides a typical rise and fall time of 0.1 µs enabling fast switching performance.

The HCPL-315J-500E operates reliably over a wide industrial temperature range from -40°C to 100°C and supports a broad supply voltage range of 15 to 30 V. It includes under voltage lock-out protection with hysteresis and delivers a minimum peak output current of 0.5 A, which is essential for driving power transistors.

The optocoupler features a maximum common-mode transient immunity of 15 kV/µs at 1500 V, guaranteeing stable operation in electrically noisy industrial settings. The low-level output voltage is limited to 1.0 V, eliminating the need for negative gate drive voltages commonly required in high power transistor gating.

Packaging is supplied in tape and reel format which is compatible with automatic assembly lines.
