Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the ACPL-796J-560E and the ACPL-796J-500E?
The ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E are ordering variants of the same Broadcom ACPL-796J optically isolated sigma-delta modulator. The suffix difference primarily denotes the tape-and-reel packaging option and the quantity per reel, while the electrical, isolation, and functional specifications of the base ACPL-796J device remain identical.
Are the ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E electrically and functionally interchangeable?
Yes. Both variants share the same datasheet parameters for the ACPL-796J, including the 5 MHz nominal clock input, sigma-delta modulator output, 15-bit effective resolution, and 5000 Vrms isolation rating. The only documented difference is the shipping package configuration, so they are interchangeable in circuit design provided the reel quantity and packaging format meet the assembly requirements.
What is the isolation voltage rating for the ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E?
Both the ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E are rated for 5000 Vrms isolation for one minute per UL 1577, and they carry a 3750 Vrms working voltage rating per IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5. These isolation specifications are identical across both ordering variants.
What package type do the ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E use?
Both variants use the same 16-pin SOIC wide-body package with 0.4 inch (10.16 mm) lead span. The package dimensions, pinout, and PCB land pattern are identical, so no layout change is required when switching between the two ordering options.
What are the operating temperature and supply voltage ranges for these parts?
The ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E both operate over an ambient temperature range of -40 degrees C to +105 degrees C and use a 5 V nominal supply for the input side and a 3.3 V or 5 V supply for the output side, as specified in the Broadcom ACPL-796J datasheet. These ratings are common to both ordering variants.
Which applications are the ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E suitable for?
Both variants are intended for isolated current and voltage sensing in motor drives, industrial inverters, solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies, and servo control systems. They are used where galvanic isolation and high-resolution sigma-delta modulation are required for precise phase current measurement.
Do the ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E differ in regulatory certifications?
No. Both ordering variants are covered by the same Broadcom ACPL-796J regulatory approvals, including UL 1577, CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5. Certification marks and file numbers apply to the base component and are not altered by the tape-and-reel suffix.
How should the ACPL-796J-560E and ACPL-796J-500E be selected for a production order?
Selection depends on the pick-and-place and reel-size requirements of the assembly line. The -500E and -560E suffixes indicate different tape-and-reel quantities as defined in the Broadcom packaging specification. Design engineers should confirm the reel diameter, pin 1 orientation, and quantity per reel against the manufacturer's packaging documentation before releasing a production order.
