5962-8957202KYC

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-8957202KYC is a high-speed, hermetic optocoupler featuring dual channels in a DIP-16 package. It delivers a data rate of 10 Mb/s with open collector outputs. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 10 mA, forward voltage of 2.2 V, and output current of 25 mA. Timing characteristics specify a rise time of 30 ns and a fall time of 24 ns. The device supports a power dissipation of 564 mW and operates within a military-grade temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for enhanced environmental reliability
• High-speed signal transmission capability at 10 Mb/s
• Dual-channel isolation architecture
• Schottky-clamped open collector outputs for improved switching performance

Applications

• Military aerospace systems requiring radiation-hardened or hermetic components
• High-reliability industrial control interfaces
• Avionics communication bus isolation
• Defense electronics signal coupling

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix KYC confirms the specific hermetic DIP-16 variant and RoHS status. Confirm that the military grade designation aligns with project requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing DIP-16 footprints. Validate supply chain authenticity due to the specialized nature of hermetic packages. Check for any recent product change notices affecting pinout or material composition.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation and high-speed digital signaling are required in harsh environments. The hermetic seal distinguishes it from standard plastic optocouplers. Consider the 10 Mb/s speed limit against system bandwidth needs. Evaluate the open collector output interface for logic level compatibility. Compare power dissipation limits against thermal management capabilities in the final assembly.
