ACPL-C79A-500E

Broadcom AVAGO · Precision OpAmps · SO-8-6.8mm

ACPL-C79A-500E from Broadcom AVAGO, in a SO-8-6.8mm. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD1 power_in Supply voltage for the input (isolated primary) side, 4.5 V to 5.5 V, referenced to GND1. Requires a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND1 (pin 4).
2 VIN+ input Positive analog input to the isolation amplifier (differential). Recommended input range ±200 mV; full-scale ±320 mV. Referenced to GND1.
3 VIN- input Negative analog input to the isolation amplifier. Normally connected to GND1 (input-side ground) in single-ended sensing configurations.
4 GND1 power_in Input-side (isolated primary) ground reference for VDD1, VIN+ and VIN-.
5 GND2 power_in Output-side (secondary/controller) ground reference for VDD2, VOUT+ and VOUT-.
6 VOUT- output Negative side of the differential analog output. Referenced to GND2; nominal common-mode near VDD2/2.
7 VOUT+ output Positive side of the differential analog output. Referenced to GND2; nominal common-mode near VDD2/2.
8 VDD2 power_in Supply voltage for the output (secondary/controller) side, 3 V to 5.5 V, referenced to GND2. Requires a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND2 (pin 5).
