Avago Expands Line of Multi-Channel Optocouplers

(Product News, 13 Apr 2006)

Avago Technologies has expanded family of 3.3 V, 15 MBd, multi-channel and bi-directional digital optocouplers in compact (9.9 mm x 5.9 mm x 1.7 mm), 16-pin thin SOIC packages. The ACSL-6xx0 series optocouplers allow customers to reduce parts count, board space and system costs in a wide range of applications by replacing one- and two-channel digital optocouplers with a smaller, more compact solution. Popular applications include network bus isolation in Profibus, DeviceNet and CAN bus systems. Other key digital applications include Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus isolation, which comprises POE (power-over-Ethernet), power system management and I2C long-distance transmission. The ACSL-6xx0 series extends the range of multi-channel and bi-directional digital optocouplers. The series of optocouplers perform at a typical operating speed of 15 MBd. These devices exhibit high common-mode rejection of 10 kV/ microsecond minimum and operate from 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply voltages with an operating temperature range of –40 C to +100 C. They are designed to meet the most widely accepted international safety regulations: UL1577 (2500 Vrms), CSA Component Acceptance Notice No. 5, and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2.
