It contains an AlGaAs LED. The detectors have totem pole output stages and optical receiver input stages with built-in Schmitt triggers to provide logic-compatible waveforms. --- # HCPL-0211 **Very High, CMR, Wide VCC Logic Gate Optocouplers** ## Overview ### Specifications ### Documentation ## HCPL-0211 ![HCPL-0211](https://www.broadcom.com/media/blt4ac44e0e6c6d8341/blt0bec2ef28e74f1fb/604f48cbf443cd7ef05d5059/hcpl_wht_175x175.jpg?width=175) The HCPL-0211 optocoupler is an optically-coupled logic gate. It contains a GaAsP LED. The detectors have totem pole output stages and optical receiver input stages with built-in Schmitt triggers to provide logic-compatible waveforms, illuminating the need for additional waveshaping. A superior internal shield on the HCPL-0211 guarantees common mode transient immunity of 10 kV/ms at a common mode voltage of 1000 volts. The electrical and switching characteristics of the HCPL-0211 are guaranteed from -40°C to 85°C and a VCC from 4.5 volts to 20 volts. Low IF and wide VCC range allows compatibility with TTL, LSTTL, and CMOS logic and result in lower power consumption compared to other high speed couplers. Logic signals are transmitted with a typical propagation delay of 150 ns. ### Features - Wide Operating VCC Range: 4.5 to 20 Volts - 300 ns Propagation Delay Guaranteed over the Full Temperature Range - 5 Mbd Typical Signal Rate - Low Input Current (1.6 mA to 1.8 mA) - Hysteresis - Totem Pole Output (No Pullup Resistor Required) - Available in 8-Pin DIP, SOIC-8, Widebody Packages - Guaranteed Performance from -40 degrees C to 85 degrees C - Safety Approval: - UL Recognized - 3750 V rms for 1 min. per UL1577 - CSA Approved Options available are: - 300 = Gull Wing Surface Mount Option - 500 = Tape and Reel Packaging Option - XXXE = Lead Free Option ### Applications - Isolation of High Speed Logic Systems - Computer-Peripheral Interfaces - Microprocessor System Interfaces - Ground Loop Elimination - Pulse Transformer Replacement - High Speed Line Receiver - Power Control Systems ### Lifecycle Status Active ### Substance Compliance ![RoHS6](https://static.broadcom.com/static/img/rohs-6-icon.jpg) **RoHS6** Pb & Pb-free options available | Specification | Value | | --- | --- | | Lifecycle | Active | | Distributor Inventory | Yes | | CMR (min.)
