5962-8957001PA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8957001PA is a high-speed logic output optoisolator featuring hermetically sealed construction in an 8-DIP package. It provides one channel with a data rate of 40 Mb/s and a common-mode transient immunity of 500 V/µs. The device utilizes a tri-state open collector output, supporting a forward current of 10 mA and a forward voltage of 1.35 V. It offers an isolation voltage of 1500 VDC, with a rise time of 15 ns and a fall time of 10 ns. The component operates within standard military temperature ranges and dissipates up to 200 mW.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed packaging for enhanced environmental reliability
• High-speed tri-state logic output for efficient bus interfacing
• Superior common-mode noise rejection capability
• Single-channel design with open collector configuration

Applications

• Military and aerospace communication systems requiring radiation-hardened or sealed components
• High-noise industrial control interfaces demanding robust signal isolation
• Data acquisition systems utilizing high-speed digital isolation
• Automotive electronics requiring reliable galvanic separation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PA' corresponds to the hermetically sealed 8-DIP variant when sourcing. Confirm that the manufacturer designation aligns with Broadcom Limited or Avago Technologies as per historical records. Ensure compliance with military-grade specifications if the application requires hermetic sealing. Cross-reference the datasheet for exact thermal and electrical limits before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed data transmission exceeding 10 Mb/s is required alongside strict isolation needs. The tri-state output is suitable for shared bus architectures where multiple devices connect to a single line. Consider the hermetic seal requirement for harsh environments. Evaluate the 1500 VDC isolation rating against system voltage requirements to ensure adequate safety margins.

Part Context

This part belongs to the family of high-speed optoisolators designed for demanding applications. It complements other variants in the series that may offer different output types or data rates. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-standardized part number, ensuring consistent performance across production lots. It serves as a critical interface component between low-voltage logic circuits and high-voltage or noisy environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 40 Mb/s speed, tri-state output, and hermetic 8-DIP package. Verify equivalent isolation ratings and pinout compatibility. Consult official substitution lists from the manufacturer for validated alternatives.
