5962-8876901XA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8876901XA is a high-speed optocoupler featuring two channels with push-pull logic outputs. It operates on a 4.5V to 20V supply and provides 1500VDC isolation. The device supports a data rate of 5MBd, with rise and fall times of 45ns and 10ns respectively. It utilizes an 8-DIP gull wing package and is hermetically sealed for reliability.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed ceramic construction ensures long-term stability in harsh environments
• Push-pull output stage delivers strong drive capability and fast switching speeds
• High common-mode transient immunity protects against noise interference

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Data communication interface circuits
• Isolated power supply feedback loops

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix XA confirms the gull-wing DIP package and hermetic seal requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management strategies. Confirm that the 1500VDC isolation rating meets system safety standards. Validate supplier authenticity through authorized distribution channels to guarantee component integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside robust environmental sealing. The push-pull output architecture offers superior performance over open-collector types for driving capacitive loads. Consider the 8-pin gull-wing form factor for surface-mount assembly while maintaining hermetic benefits. Evaluate the 5MBd speed against system timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the military-grade or high-reliability series within Broadcom's optocoupler portfolio. The 5962 prefix indicates a direct buy or QPL listing. It serves as a specialized solution for applications demanding both high bandwidth and strict isolation barriers compared to standard commercial variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other hermetic high-speed optocouplers with matching pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify equivalent isolation voltage and data rates before substitution. Cross-reference package dimensions to ensure mechanical fit.
