5962-8957101PA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8957101PA is a high-speed optocoupler featuring two channels with push-pull output configuration. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 20V DC and provides hermetic sealing for reliability. The device supports a data rate of 40 Mb/s and offers an isolation voltage of 1500 VDC. Key electrical parameters include a common-mode transient immunity of 500 V/µs, a forward current of 10 mA, and a forward voltage of 2.2 V. It utilizes an 8-pin DIP package.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction ensures environmental protection and long-term stability in demanding applications.
• Push-pull output stage delivers strong drive capability and fast switching performance for high-speed digital signals.
• High common-mode transient immunity effectively rejects noise spikes on shared ground lines.

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces requiring galvanic isolation
• Industrial control systems with noisy electromagnetic environments
• Data acquisition systems needing reliable signal transmission across isolated boundaries

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the hermetic seal specification aligns with your environmental requirements. Ensure the lead time accommodates military-grade component availability constraints. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the ceramic or plastic hermetic package variant.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both high data rates and robust noise immunity are critical. The push-pull output eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors, simplifying circuit design. Consider the 1500 VDC isolation barrier for safety compliance in mains-connected equipment. Evaluate the 40 Mb/s speed against system timing requirements to ensure adequate margin.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962-8957 series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom. It is designed for applications requiring fast signal transfer between isolated circuits. The series typically includes variants with different output types and channel counts. This specific model emphasizes speed and noise rejection capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 40 Mb/s speed, 2-channel count, and push-pull output. Verify pinout compatibility for the 8-DIP package. Ensure equivalent isolation voltage and hermetic sealing specifications are maintained for safety and reliability.
