5962-0824201HPA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-0824201HPA is a high-speed logic output optoisolator designed for robust signal transmission across electrical isolation barriers. It features an open collector output with Schottky clamping to minimize storage time and enhance switching speed. The device supports a data rate of 10 MBd and provides 1500 Vrms isolation voltage. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 100 ns, a forward current of 20 mA, and a forward voltage of 1.55 V. It is housed in an 8-DIP package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• High-speed operation with 10 MBd data rate capability
• Open collector output structure integrated with Schottky clamping for fast switching
• Hermetically sealed construction ensuring reliability in harsh environments
• 1500 Vrms isolation voltage for safe galvanic separation

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-speed digital isolation
• Data communication interfaces needing rapid signal transfer
• Power supply feedback loops with strict timing requirements
• Military and aerospace electronic circuits demanding hermetic sealing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'HPA' to confirm the 8-DIP plastic package variant, as other suffixes like 'KPA' or 'KYA' indicate different packaging types such as hermetic DIP. Ensure compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes. Confirm that the open collector output configuration aligns with the target circuit's pull-up requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Validate that the 100 ns propagation delay meets the system's timing constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both high-speed performance and physical durability are critical. The Schottky-clamped output is essential for applications where minimizing turn-off delay is necessary. Consider the 8-DIP package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. This part is suitable for designs requiring verified MIL-spec level reliability due to its hermetic options within the series, though the HPA variant specifically offers robust plastic encapsulation. Compare against non-Schottky variants if lower cost is prioritized over speed.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 5962-0824201 series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom Limited. The series includes various packaging options such as hermetic ceramic DIPs (e.g., KPA, KYA) and plastic DIPs (HPA). All variants share the same internal LED and photodetector architecture but differ in mechanical sealing and thermal characteristics. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-grade or high-reliability specification class.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 10 MBd speed, open collector output, and 8-DIP form factor. Verify that any replacement maintains the 1500 Vrms isolation rating. Cross-reference pinouts to ensure compatibility with existing footprints. Note that hermetic versions may require different handling procedures than the plastic HPA variant.
