HCPL316 Help & Advice

[alisarhangpour]

I'm Designing a PCB which has two HCPL316s on it. The problem is that I don't know which footprint is the best match. I'll receive my ICs within the next two weeks, so I don't have access to them to have a look at them right now. Its datasheets on the net tell nothing about physical dimensions. Can you help me find the best footprint?
By the way, do you recommend using this IC at all? or are there better replacements?
Thanks.

Hi Ali,

Here's the datasheet:

Thank you on1aag, I had somewhat the same datasheet from Agilent (Agilent sold its semicon. division to Avago) but it didn't have physical dimensions, but this datasheet has, thank you again.

hi,

Is this any help?

The data sheet for the HCPL says it a SO16 package.

2.5 A maximum peak output current
• Drive IGBTs up to IC = 150 A, VCE = 1200 V
• Optically isolated, FAULT status feedback
• SO-16 package• CMOS/TTL compatible
• 500 ns max. switching speeds
