5962-9685201HPC

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-9685201HPC is a hermetically sealed logic output optoisolator housed in an 8-pin DIP package. It features a single channel with an open collector output and Schottky clamping for enhanced performance. The device supports a data rate of 10 MBd and provides isolation voltage of 1500 VDC. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, forward voltage of 1.5 V, and output current of 25 mA. Timing characteristics specify a rise time of 90 ns and a fall time of 40 ns. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and has a power dissipation rating of 200 mW.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for reliability in harsh environments
• Schottky-clamped open collector output for fast switching
• High common-mode transient immunity

Applications

• Gate drive circuits for power electronics
• Industrial control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Military and aerospace instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffix HPC to ensure hermetic sealing and specific speed grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as military variants may differ from commercial standards. Check datasheet revision dates for updated thermal and electrical limits. Ensure ordering quantities match distributor factory pack requirements. Validate supplier authorization for this specific military-grade component series.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation with hermetic sealing is required. Compare propagation delay and CMTI against non-hermetic alternatives if cost is a constraint. Ensure input current limits are respected to maintain optimal switching times. Verify package compatibility with existing PCB footprints for 8-DIP configurations. Consider thermal management capabilities given the 200 mW power dissipation rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962 family of radiation-hardened and hermetically sealed optocouplers manufactured by Broadcom Limited. These components are designed for high-reliability applications where standard plastic-packaged devices may fail. The 5962 designation indicates a DoD-standardized part number structure, ensuring consistent quality and traceability across defense and aerospace supply chains.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other hermetic optocouplers with matching pinouts and electrical specs. Verify equivalent isolation voltage and switching speeds before substitution. Non-hermetic equivalents like HCPL-2601 lack the sealed package and may not suit extreme environments.
