5962-8957201EA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8957201EA is a high-speed optocoupler featuring two channels in a hermetically sealed PDIP-16 package. It supports a data rate of 10 Mb/s with an isolation voltage of 1500 VDC. The device utilizes open collector outputs with Schottky clamping, providing a common-mode transient immunity of 1 kV/µs. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 10 mA, forward voltage of 2.2 V, and output current of 25 mA. Rise and fall times are specified at 30 ns and 24 ns respectively, with a power dissipation rating of 564 mW.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for enhanced reliability in harsh environments
• Schottky-clamped open collector outputs for fast switching performance
• High common-mode transient immunity of 1 kV/µs

Applications

• Industrial communication interfaces requiring galvanic isolation
• Data acquisition systems with high noise immunity needs
• Isolated logic signal transmission in complex configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and insulation characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing hermetic sealing requirements for the target application. Confirm RoHS status as this component may contain lead. Validate supply chain documentation for military or aerospace grade specifications if applicable.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside robust environmental protection. The dual-channel configuration suits applications needing multiple isolated signals within a single package. Consider the open collector output topology for interface flexibility with various logic families.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962 series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom Limited. It is designed for applications demanding reliable signal transmission across isolation barriers. The hermetic seal distinguishes it from standard plastic-packaged variants, offering superior protection against moisture and contaminants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 10 Mb/s data rate, 1500 VDC isolation, and hermetic PDIP-16 package. Verify that alternative components maintain equivalent Schottky-clamped output characteristics and common-mode transient immunity levels.
