Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels or direct manufacturer verification. Confirm the specific suffix '36CE' matches the required current transfer ratio and packaging specifications. Check RoHS compliance status and lead times as this product may be subject to lifecycle changes or discontinuation notices from Broadcom Limited.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel solution with moderate speed and high isolation voltage is required. Ensure the 50% CTR meets the logic level requirements of the receiving circuit. Compare against other ACPL-827 variants if higher CTR or different switching speeds are necessary for the specific application design.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL-827 series of dual-channel optocouplers designed for general-purpose isolation applications. The series offers various current transfer ratios to suit different sensitivity requirements while maintaining consistent physical dimensions and pinout configurations across the family.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with ACPL-827-30CE or ACPL-827-06CE depending on whether a higher CTR (200-400%) or through-hole packaging is acceptable. Verify that any substitute maintains the 5000 Vrms isolation rating and compatible DIP-8 footprint.
