Broadcom recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane, minimal lead length, and a 0.1uF bypass capacitor between VCC and GND to reduce noise and ensure reliable operation.
The HCPL-261A-500E requires a bias voltage of 5V ± 10% and a bias current of 1.5mA to 3.5mA. Ensure the bias voltage is within the recommended range and the bias current is within the specified limits for reliable operation.
The HCPL-261A-500E is rated for operation from -40°C to 100°C. Operating the device outside this temperature range may affect its performance and reliability.
Handle the HCPL-261A-500E with ESD-sensitive precautions, such as using an ESD wrist strap, ESD mat, or ESD bag to prevent damage from static electricity.
Store the HCPL-261A-500E in a dry, cool place with a temperature range of -40°C to 30°C and humidity below 60%. Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
