HCPL-4506-000E

Broadcom AVAGO · Logic Output Optoisolators · DIP-8

HCPL-4506-000E from Broadcom AVAGO, in a DIP-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 No internal connection; the datasheet says pins 1 and 4 should be tied to input circuit common for the recommended LED drive, or left unconnected if output-side direct coupling limits CMR.
2 ANODE input LED anode input; the absolute maximum reverse input voltage (pin 3-2) is 5 V for HCPL-4506, and the recommended ON input current IF(on) is 10 mA to 20 mA.
3 CATHODE input LED cathode input; the recommended OFF input voltage VF(off) is -5 V to 0.8 V, and the recommended LED drive circuit places the current-setting resistor in series with this cathode.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection; the datasheet says pins 1 and 4 should be tied to input circuit common for the recommended LED drive, or left unconnected if output-side direct coupling limits CMR.
5 GND power_in Ground reference for the output and supply, with a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor recommended between pins 5 and 8; the output voltage (pin 6-5) and supply voltage (pin 8-5) are both referenced to this pin.
6 VO output Open-collector detector output referenced to pin 5, rated for output voltage 0 V to 30 V and average output current of 15 mA maximum.
7 VL passive Terminal of the internal 20 kΩ pull-up resistor (14 kΩ min, 20 kΩ typ, 25 kΩ max at TA = 25°C), which is enabled by shorting pins 6 and 7; resistor voltage V7 is limited to -0.5 V to VCC.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage pin, with recommended operation from 4.5 V to 30 V and absolute maximum supply voltage (pin 8-5) of -0.5 V to 30 V.
