5962-9685201HXA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-9685201HXA is a hermetically sealed, single-channel logic output optocoupler designed for high-reliability applications. It features an open collector output with Schottky clamping to minimize storage time and enhance switching speed. The device provides 1500 Vrms isolation voltage and supports surface mount installation in an 8-DIP Gull Wing package. Key electrical characteristics include a typical current transfer ratio of 90% and a propagation delay range of approximately 0.5 to 0.75 microseconds. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments requiring robust signal isolation.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding conditions
• Schottky-clamped open collector output reduces storage time for faster switching
• High common-mode transient immunity supports noisy industrial environments
• Wide operating temperature range accommodates extreme thermal variations

Applications

• Isolated status monitoring in power systems
• Gate driving for power modules
• Moderate-speed PWM control circuits
• Industrial process control signal isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix HXA confirms the hermetically sealed variant and specific pinout configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation as requirements may vary by region. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead time and packaging specifications directly from Broadcom or authorized distributors. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to ensure compatibility with existing design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing is mandatory for environmental protection. The Schottky clamp makes it preferable over standard logic outputs where reduced storage time is critical. Verify that the 1500 Vrms isolation rating meets system safety standards. Consider the 8-DIP Gull Wing package for surface mount assembly requirements. Ensure the input forward current and output current capabilities align with the driving and load circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader family of hermetically sealed optocouplers manufactured by Broadcom Limited under the MIL-spec style numbering convention. These devices are engineered for aerospace, defense, and high-reliability industrial sectors where standard plastic-packaged components may fail due to moisture ingress or mechanical stress. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-grade qualification level.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the hermetic seal, 8-DIP Gull Wing package, and open collector output type. Verify equivalent isolation voltage and propagation delay characteristics. Consult Broadcom's official substitution guide for qualified alternatives. Generic equivalents may lack the hermetic sealing required for this application.
