HCPL-0370-500E

Broadcom AVAGO · Logic Output Optoisolators · SO-8

HCPL-0370-500E from Broadcom AVAGO, in a SO-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 AC input One of the two AC input terminals (with pin 4); the AC threshold is VTH+ 4.9 V typ and VTH- 3.7 V typ, measured as
2 DC+ input Positive DC input terminal (with pin 3); the DC turn-on threshold is VTH+ 3.7 V typ and the turn-off threshold is VTH- 2.6 V typ, with the input current threshold ITH+ 2.5 mA typ for HCPL-0370.
3 DC- input Negative DC input terminal (with pin 2); input voltage is measured as V2 - V3 and the DC input must not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of -0.5 V on pins 2-3 as printed.
4 AC input Second AC input terminal (with pin 1) for ac signals; the ac input thresholds are the same as for pin 1, VTH+ 4.9 V typ and VTH- 3.7 V typ.
5 GND power_in Ground reference for the detector IC; VCC (pin 8) and output voltage (pin 6) are specified relative to this pin, with VCC absolute maximum of -0.5 V to 20 V.
6 VO output Open-collector logic output referenced to pin 5; logic low VOL is 0.4 V max at VCC = 4.5 V and IOL = 4.2 mA, output voltage absolute maximum is -0.5 V to 20 V, and average output current is 30 mA max.
7 NC unconnected No internal connection on the package.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage with recommended range 2 V to 18 V (absolute maximum 20 V); a 0.01 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between pins 8 and 5 is recommended to reduce supply noise.
