Data Sheet
HCPL-2730/0730/2731/0731
Dual-Channel Low Input Current, High-Gain
Optocouplers
Overview
These dual-channel optocouplers contain a separated pair
of GaAsP light-emitting diodes optically coupled to a pair of
integrated high-gain photodetectors. They provide
extremely high current transfer ratio and excellent
input-output common mode transient immunity. A separate
pin for the photodiodes and first gain stages (V
CC
) permits
lower output saturation voltage and higher speed operation
than possible with conventional photo-darlington type
optocouplers. In addition, V
CC
may be as low as 1.6V
without adversely affecting the parametric performance.
These dual-channel optocouplers are available in an 8-pin
DIP and in an industry standard SO-8 package. The
following is a cross reference table listing the 8-pin DIP part
number and the electrically equivalent SOIC-8 part number.

Low output saturation voltage – 0.1V
High density packaging
Performance guaranteed over temperature 0°C to 70°C
LSTTL compatible
High output current – 60mA
Safety approval:
– UL recognized – 3750 V rms for 1 minute and
5000 Vrms (see Note) for 1 minute
– CSA approved
Available in 8-pin DIP and SO-8 footprint
MIL-PRF-38534 hermetic version available
(HCPL-5730/5731)
Surface mount gull wing option available for 8-pin DIP
(Option 300)
5000 V rms/1 minute withstand voltage rating is for
Option 020 (HCPL-2730, HCPL-2731) products
only.
NOTE:
The SO-8 does not require “through holes” in a PCB. This
package occupies approxmately one-third the footprint area
of the standard dual-inline package. The lead profile is
designed to be compatible with standard surface mount
processes.
CAUTION!
Take normal static precautions in handling and
assembly of this component to prevent
damage, degradation, or both that may be
induced by ESD. The components featured in
this data sheet are not to be used in military or
aerospace applications or environments.

NOTE:
A 0.1-µF bypass capacitor connected between pins 5 and 8 is recommended.
Guaranteed operation at low input currents and the high current transfer ratio (CTR) reduce the magnitude and effects of
CTR degradation.
The outstanding high temperature performance of this split Darlington-type output amplifier results from the inclusion of an
integrated emitter-base bypass resistor that shunts photodiode and first stage leakage currents to ground.
The HCPL-2731/0731 have a 400% minimum CTR at an input current of only 0.5 mA making it ideal for use in low input
current application, such as MOS, CMOS, and low-power logic interfacing or RS232C data transmission systems. In
addition, the high CTR and high output current capability make this device extremely useful in applications where a high
fanout is required. Compatibility with high-voltage CMOS logic systems is guaranteed by the 18V V
CC
and V
O
specifications
and by testing output high leakage (I
OH
) at 18V.
The HCPL-2730/0730 are specified at an input current of 1.6 mA and have a 7V V
CC
and V
O
rating. The 300% minimum
CTR allows TTL to TTL interfacing at this input current.
Important specifications, such as CTR, leakage current, and output saturation voltage, are guaranteed over the 0°C to 70°C
temperature range to allow trouble-free system operation. Selection for lower input currents down to 250 µA is available upon
request.
