5962-9800104KFA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-9800104KFA is a high-speed, hermetic optocoupler housed in a 16-pin Flat-Pack package. It features four independent channels with open collector outputs and Schottky clamping for enhanced performance. The device supports data rates up to 10 Mb/s and provides galvanic isolation of 1500 VDC. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, forward voltage of 1.5 V, and reverse voltage of 5 V. Output characteristics specify a maximum output current of 25 mA and power dissipation of 200 mW. Timing specifications indicate rise and fall times of 90 ns and 40 ns respectively, with a common-mode transient immunity of 1 kV/µs.

Feature Summary

• Hermetic flat-pack construction ensures reliability in demanding environments
• Schottky-clamped open collector outputs improve switching speed and noise immunity
• High common-mode transient immunity protects against signal integrity issues

Applications

• High-speed digital signal isolation
• Industrial control systems requiring galvanic separation
• Data communication interfaces needing robust noise rejection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'KFA' to confirm the hermetic flat-pack variant and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 16-flatpack configuration. Confirm that the open collector output logic aligns with downstream circuit requirements. Check for any specific handling instructions related to hermetic sealing during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed isolation (10 Mb/s) and hermetic packaging are required. The four-channel design reduces board space compared to single-channel alternatives. Verify that the 1500 VDC isolation rating meets system safety standards. Consider the open collector output type for voltage level shifting capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Broadcom 5962-9800 series of high-speed optocouplers. It is designed for applications requiring fast data transfer across isolated barriers. The hermetic seal distinguishes it from standard plastic-packaged variants, offering superior protection against moisture and contaminants for long-term stability in harsh conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16-flatpack hermetic package and 4-channel configuration. Verify equivalent data rates and isolation voltages. Cross-reference pinouts to ensure compatibility without redesigning the host circuit. Consult manufacturer documentation for approved alternates within the same product family.
