HCPL-316J-500E

HCPL-316J-500E is a Broadcom highly integrated smart gate-drive optocoupler in SO-16, tape and reel, lead-free (the -500E option) — isolated IGBT and MOSFET gate driving with built-in desaturation detection and fault feedback for motor drives, inverters and industrial power stages. Broadcom's product page for the HCPL-316J — whose ordering table carries this -500E tape-and-reel lead-free option — lists the lifecycle as Active, and its specifications table gives the figures that define the part: peak output current 2.5 A as an absolute maximum (pulses of 10 µs or shorter at 0.2% duty or less — not a continuous drive guarantee), common-mode rejection 15 kV/µs minimum at TA = 25 °C, VCM = 1500 V and VCC2 = 30 V, a 5000 Vrms one-minute transient withstand test voltage with a separate working insulation voltage of 1414 Vpeak, an output-side supply (VCC2 − VEE) of 15 to 30 V against a 4.5 to 5.5 V input-side VCC1, and propagation delay 0.5 µs maximum measured with Rg = 10 Ω, Cg = 10 nF at 10 kHz and 50% duty, over −40 to +100 °C. Selection advice: the -500E suffix is the standard tape-and-reel, lead-free ordering option — the one obsolescence notice we found for this family (a 1999 notice) covers the old #xx1 and #xx2 option codes, not -500E — do not let a legacy notice be read against this code, and do not read that search as proof that no other notice exists. The integrated fault reporting is the reason to choose this part over a plain gate-drive coupler: budget the desaturation blanking and fault-reset behaviour in the controller design, not just the drive current.
