5962-0420401HPC

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-0420401HPC is a hermetically sealed, single-channel gate driver optocoupler housed in an 8-pin DIP package. It provides 1500VDC isolation and supports a peak output current of 2.0A for IGBT gate drive applications. The device features a maximum propagation delay of 500ns and a common mode transient immunity of at least 10kV/µs.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for enhanced reliability
• High common mode transient immunity of 10kV/µs minimum
• Capable of driving IGBT gates with 2.0A peak current

Applications

• IGBT gate drive circuits
• Industrial automation systems
• Power supply isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer date code and lot traceability upon receipt to ensure component authenticity. Confirm that the hermetic seal integrity remains intact during shipping and storage. Cross-reference the ordering part number with official Broadcom documentation to ensure compatibility with specific system requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high isolation voltage and fast switching speeds are required for power electronics. The 1500VDC rating suits medium-voltage applications. Ensure the 500ns propagation delay meets the timing constraints of the target control loop. Verify that the 8-DIP package fits the available PCB footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the military-grade 5962 series of optocouplers manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It is a specialized variant designed for harsh environments requiring hermetic sealing. The device functions as a logic output optocoupler specifically optimized for driving power switches like IGBTs in industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references within the 5962 series. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as propagation delay and isolation voltage against potential substitutes from other manufacturers offering hermetic DIP packages.
