8102801EC

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 8102801EC is a high-speed optocoupler featuring two channels in a hermetically sealed PDIP-16 package. It supports a data rate of 10 MBd with an isolation voltage of 1500 VDC. The output type is open collector with Schottky clamping, providing a maximum output current of 25 mA per channel. Key timing parameters include a rise time of 90 ns and a fall time of 40 ns. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C and has a power dissipation rating of 200 mW.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction for enhanced reliability
• Schottky-clamped open collector outputs for fast switching
• High common-mode transient immunity

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Power supply feedback loops
• Communication interface isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and manufacturer lot codes upon procurement. Confirm that the hermetic seal integrity meets project requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the PDIP-16 package. Check for any regional delivery restrictions or additional documentation needs before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside robust environmental sealing. The 10 MBd data rate suits applications needing rapid signal transmission across isolation barriers. Consider the open collector output configuration for interfacing with various logic families. Evaluate the thermal performance against the 200 mW dissipation limit in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to Broadcom's high-speed optocoupler portfolio, designed for mission-critical applications requiring reliable signal transfer between isolated circuits. The hermetic packaging distinguishes it from standard plastic-packaged variants, offering superior protection against moisture and contaminants in harsh industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official replacement guides for direct equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications such as CTR and propagation delay before substituting.
