HCPL-0721-500E

Broadcom AVAGO · Logic Output Optoisolators · SO-8

HCPL-0721-500E 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 VDD1 power_in Input-side (LED driver) supply; 4.5 V to 5.5 V recommended with absolute maximum 0 to 6.0 V, and a 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF bypass capacitor must be placed as close as possible between pins 1 and 4.
2 VI input CMOS logic input that drives the internal LED (LED on when low, off when high); VIH is 2.0 V to VDD1 and VIL is 0.0 V to 0.8 V, with absolute limits of −0.5 V to VDD1 + 0.5 V.
3 NC unconnected Anode of the internal LED; must be left unconnected for guaranteed data sheet performance.
4 GND1 power_in Input-side ground reference for VDD1 and VI; it is the bypass return for the 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF capacitor on pin 1.
5 GND2 power_in Output-side ground reference for VDD2 and VO; it is the bypass return for the 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF capacitor on pin 8.
6 VO output CMOS logic output of the detector IC with VOH at least 4.4 V at IO = −20 µA and VOL at most 0.1 V at IO = 20 µA; average output current is limited to 10 mA.
7 NC unconnected Not connected internally.
8 VDD2 power_in Output-side (detector) supply; 4.5 V to 5.5 V recommended with absolute maximum 0 to 6.0 V, and a 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF bypass capacitor must be placed as close as possible between pins 5 and 8.
