5962-8957101YA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8957101YA is a hermetically sealed, very high-speed optocoupler designed for demanding industrial applications. It features a single channel with an open collector output and supports data rates up to 40 Mb/s. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 10 mA, a forward voltage of 1.35 V, and an output current capability of 25 mA. The device exhibits a typical rise time of 15 ns and a fall time of 10 ns, with a maximum propagation delay of 60 ns. It operates within a temperature range extending from -55°C to 125°C and provides common mode transient immunity of at least 500 V/µs.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction ensures reliability in harsh environments
• Very high speed performance with 40 Mbps data rate capability
• Open collector output configuration for flexible interfacing

Applications

• Industrial networking systems
• Electrical isolation between circuits with diverse voltage levels
• High-speed digital signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'YA' to confirm hermetic sealing and package type. Ensure compatibility with surface mount assembly processes. Confirm that the 1500Vdc isolation rating meets system safety requirements. Check lead availability through authorized distributors. Validate that the operating temperature range aligns with environmental conditions.

Selection Notes

Choose this component when high-speed data transfer is required alongside robust electrical isolation. The hermetic seal makes it suitable for environments where standard plastic packages may fail. Consider the 40 Mbps limit for bandwidth needs. The open collector output requires appropriate pull-up resistors. Verify thermal management for power dissipation limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to Broadcom's family of high-speed optocouplers. It shares similar performance characteristics with other models in the series but differs in packaging and sealing. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-grade or high-reliability variant. It is distinct from lower-speed or non-hermetic alternatives in the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 40 Mbps speed, hermetic seal, and SOIC-8 package. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Ensure equivalent isolation voltage and common mode transient immunity ratings are maintained.
