Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E are both isolated sigma-delta modulators from Broadcom's ACPL-C78x series, sharing the same 16-pin SOIC wide-body package, 5 V supply, and ±200 mV differential input range. The ACPL-C784-500E offers a higher nominal gain of 8.2 versus 8.0 and a wider specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C versus -40°C to +85°C, making it a viable functional replacement candidate for the ACPL-C780-560E in most applications, provided the gain tolerance and thermal margin are validated against the target design.

Frequently asked questions
What are the ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E?
The ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E are Broadcom isolation amplifiers designed for current sensing and voltage sensing in motor control, power conversion, and industrial applications. Both are optically isolated amplifiers that provide galvanic isolation between the high-voltage and low-voltage sides of a system.
What is the key difference between the ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E?
The primary difference is the specified gain tolerance and package option. The ACPL-C784-500E offers a tighter gain tolerance of ±1% and is supplied in a 500-piece tape-and-reel packaging option. The ACPL-C780-560E has a gain tolerance of ±3% and is supplied in a 560-piece tape-and-reel packaging option. Both share the same functional architecture and isolation ratings.
Are the ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E pin-to-pin compatible?
Yes. Both devices are offered in the same 8-pin surface-mount package (DIP-8/SO-8 style) with identical pin functions. This allows them to share the same PCB land pattern, but designers must account for the different gain tolerances when substituting one for the other.
What is the isolation voltage rating for these isolation amplifiers?
Both the ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E provide a high isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms for 1 minute per UL 1577 and a working voltage of 891 Vpeak per IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5. These ratings make them suitable for reinforced isolation in industrial and medical-grade power systems.
What is the input offset voltage and gain error specification for each part?
The ACPL-C784-500E has a specified input offset voltage of ±0.3 mV (typical) and a gain error of ±1% (maximum). The ACPL-C780-560E has a specified input offset voltage of ±0.5 mV (typical) and a gain error of ±3% (maximum). These differences affect overall system accuracy in current-sensing applications.
Can the ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E operate from the same supply voltage?
Yes. Both devices operate from a single 5 V supply on the input side and a 5 V supply on the output side. They are designed for nominal 5 V operation with a specified supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial logic levels.
What is the bandwidth and response time of these isolation amplifiers?
Both the ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E feature a typical bandwidth of 100 kHz and a propagation delay of approximately 3 µs. These specifications support accurate current sensing in motor drive and inverter applications where fast response and minimal phase shift are required.
Which part should be selected for higher accuracy current sensing?
The ACPL-C784-500E should be selected for higher accuracy current sensing because it offers a tighter gain tolerance of ±1% and lower input offset voltage compared to the ACPL-C780-560E. The ACPL-C780-560E is suitable for applications where a ±3% gain tolerance is acceptable and cost sensitivity is a factor.
Are the ACPL-C784-500E and ACPL-C780-560E certified to safety standards?
Yes. Both devices are certified to UL 1577 (5000 Vrms for 1 minute), CSA Component Acceptance Notice #5, and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5 for reinforced insulation. These certifications are verified in the respective Broadcom datasheets and apply equally to both part numbers.
