5962-8876801PC

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8876801PC is a high-speed optocoupler featuring a single channel with a tri-state logic output. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 20V DC and provides 1500VDC hermetic isolation. The device supports a data rate of 5 MBd, with typical rise and fall times of 45ns and 10ns respectively. It utilizes an 8-pin PDIP package, accepts an 8mA forward current, and delivers a 15mA output current with 200mW power dissipation.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for reliable environmental protection
• Tri-state logic output enabling bus-oriented applications
• High common-mode transient immunity for noise rejection
• Fast switching speeds suitable for high-frequency signal transmission

Applications

• Bus-oriented communication systems
• Digital isolation in industrial control networks
• High-speed data transfer interfaces requiring electrical separation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PC' against official datasheets to confirm the package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for the 8-pin DIP form factor. Confirm that the tri-state output characteristics meet system requirements for bus sharing. Validate supplier documentation for authenticity and compliance with aerospace or military standards implied by the part number prefix.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside bus-sharing capabilities due to its tri-state output. Consider the 1500VDC isolation barrier for safety-critical applications. Evaluate the 5MBd data rate against system bandwidth needs. The hermetic seal makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard plastic packages may fail. Ensure input current limits are respected to maintain optimal performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962 family of radiation-hardened and high-reliability optocouplers manufactured by Broadcom Limited. These components are designed for demanding applications where standard commercial parts lack sufficient durability or speed. The series typically features hermetic sealing and strict parameter controls, distinguishing them from general-purpose optoisolators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 5962-8876801PC specifications, including the tri-state output and 5MBd speed. Verify pinout compatibility for the 8-pin DIP package. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering MIL-spec equivalent optocouplers if availability is constrained.
