ACNW261L-500E

Overview

The ACNW261L-500E is a high-speed optocoupler from Broadcom Limited, featuring one channel with a data rate of 10 Mb/s. It utilizes a Photo IC output type and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The device provides an isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms and supports a maximum forward current of 5 mA with a forward voltage of 1.5 V. Key timing parameters include rise and fall times of 12 ns each, while the output current capability is rated at 10 mA. Power dissipation is specified at 34 mW, and it is housed in a PDIP-8 Gull Wing package.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed signal transmission with a 10 Mb/s data rate for efficient digital communication.
• Ensures electrical safety through robust insulation capabilities rated at 5000 Vrms between input and output circuits.
• Features tri-state logic output functionality to facilitate complex bus architectures and system control.

Applications

• Industrial networking systems requiring isolated communication links
• Digital isolators for diverse voltage level interfacing
• High-speed data transfer applications in electronic circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and RoHS compliance status against the latest manufacturer datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the PDIP-8 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your environmental specifications. Cross-reference the part number with official Broadcom documentation to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel high-speed interface with moderate isolation voltage is required. The 10 Mb/s speed suits many industrial protocols, while the 5000 Vrms rating offers sufficient protection for general-purpose isolation. Consider the 5 mA forward current requirement for drive circuit design. The tri-state output is advantageous for shared bus environments compared to standard logic outputs.
