HCPL-061A-500E

Broadcom AVAGO · Logic Output Optoisolators · SO-8

HCPL-061A-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 NC unconnected Not connected (NC) on the single-channel HCPL-061A per the functional diagram, and the datasheet states no function for this pin.
2 ANODE input LED anode input; the input schematic specifies a forward current IF of 3.0 mA to 10 mA (recommended high-level input current) and an input low-level voltage VFL of -3 V to 0.8 V.
3 CATHODE input LED cathode input; the absolute maximum reverse input voltage VR is 3 V, and the input reverse breakdown voltage BVR is 3 V minimum at IR = 100 µA.
4 NC unconnected Not connected (NC) on the single-channel HCPL-061A per the functional diagram, and the datasheet states no function for this pin.
5 GND power_in Ground reference for the output-side detector; a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between pins 5 and 8 is required, with total lead length to the isolator pins not exceeding 10 mm.
6 VO output Open-collector Schottky-clamped output; the maximum output collector current is 50 mA per channel, the output voltage absolute maximum is -0.5 V to 7 V, and the recommended pull-up resistor RL is 330 Ω to 4 kΩ.
7 VE input Enable input for strobing the detector; the high-level enable voltage VEH is 2.0 V to VCC and the low-level enable voltage VEL is 0 V to 0.8 V, with an absolute maximum of -0.5 V to 5.5 V.
8 VCC power_in Detector supply voltage; the recommended supply range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V and the absolute maximum is -0.5 V to 7 V.
