5962-8876904KPA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8876904KPA is a high-speed, two-channel logic output optocoupler housed in an 8-pin DIP ceramic package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 20V DC and provides hermetic sealing for enhanced reliability. The device features a push-pull or totem pole output configuration with a common-mode transient immunity of 1kV/µs. Key electrical parameters include a data rate of 5 Mb/s, forward current of 8 mA, forward voltage of 1.3 V, rise time of 45 ns, fall time of 10 ns, output current of 15 mA, and power dissipation of 200 mW. It supports an insulation voltage of 1500 VDC and functions between -55°C and +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction in an 8-pin DIP ceramic package ensures high reliability and environmental protection.
• Push-pull or totem pole output configuration delivers fast switching performance with 5 Mb/s data rate capability.
• High common-mode transient immunity of 1kV/µs protects against noise in demanding electronic environments.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring isolated signal transmission
• Data communication interfaces needing high-speed galvanic isolation
• Military and aerospace electronic circuits demanding hermetic sealing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact package variant and material composition, as suffixes may denote differences in lead frame plating or internal die attach materials. Ensure that the procurement documentation explicitly references the DLA SMD Class K reliability standard if required for your application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability and compliance with current RoHS directives. Request detailed test reports for insulation resistance and breakdown voltage if operating near maximum ratings.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside strict environmental sealing standards. The push-pull output architecture offers superior drive capability compared to open-collector designs, making it suitable for driving low-impedance loads directly. Consider the 1500 VDC insulation rating for applications involving significant potential differences between input and output circuits. Evaluate the thermal management requirements given the 200 mW power dissipation limit in the ceramic package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962-88769 series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom Limited. It represents a military-grade or space-qualified variant characterized by hermetic sealing and extended temperature ranges. The series is designed for applications where standard plastic-packaged devices fail due to moisture ingress or mechanical stress. It complements other channels in the family offering different output types such as phototransistors or open collectors.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Verify compatibility with existing circuit designs before attempting substitution with similar high-speed optocouplers, as pinout configurations and electrical characteristics may differ significantly between manufacturers.
