5962-8957202KXA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8957202KXA is a high-speed, hermetic optocoupler featuring two channels in a 16-SMD Gull Wing package. It supports a data rate of 10 Mbps with an open collector output type. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 10 mA, forward voltage of 2.2 V, and output current of 25 mA. Propagation delays are specified at 30 ns rise time and 24 ns fall time, with a maximum propagation delay of 100 ns. The device operates within a temperature range up to +125°C and provides 1.5 kV isolation.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for enhanced reliability in harsh environments
• High-speed logic output capability supporting 10 Mbps data rates
• Dual-channel configuration with open collector outputs

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'KXA' against official datasheets to confirm pinout and performance specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 16-SMD Gull Wing package. Confirm that the hermetic seal requirement aligns with the application environment. Check for RoHS status if environmental compliance is mandatory for the end product.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both high-speed performance (10 Mbps) and hermetic sealing are required. The dual-channel design reduces board space compared to single-channel alternatives. Consider the open collector output type for interface compatibility with downstream logic circuits. Evaluate the 1.5 kV isolation rating against system noise immunity requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962-8957 series of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom Limited. It is designed for applications where traditional plastic-packaged optocouplers may fail due to moisture or pressure variations. The series typically offers improved common-mode transient immunity and faster switching speeds compared to standard logic isolators.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference part numbers from other manufacturers offering hermetic 16-pin SOIC optocouplers with similar 10 Mbps speed ratings. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution. Ensure replacement parts meet the same hermeticity standards if used in critical environments.
