VOH260A-X016

Overview

The VOH260A-X016 is a single-channel high-speed optocoupler manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It features an open-drain logic output and provides 5000 Vrms isolation voltage with a common-mode transient immunity of 15 kV/µs. The device supports a data rate of 10 MBd, utilizing a DIP-8 package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 10 mA, forward voltage of 1.38 V, reverse voltage of 5 V, and output current of 50 mA. Power dissipation is rated at 125 mW, with operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +110°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed operation supporting 10 MBd data rates
• Robust insulation with 5000 Vrms isolation capability
• High common-mode transient immunity of 15 kV/µs
• Open-drain logic output configuration

Applications

• Digital signal isolation in noisy environments
• Microcontroller interface circuits
• Industrial communication bus isolation
• Logic level translation between different voltage domains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix X016 corresponds to the tube packaging format when ordering. Confirm that the 10 MBd speed requirement aligns with system timing constraints. Ensure the 5000 Vrms isolation rating meets safety standards for the intended application. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside robust noise immunity. The open-drain output necessitates an external pull-up resistor for proper logic level generation. Consider the DIP-8 package size for PCB layout constraints. Compare against transistor-output alternatives if analog transmission or higher current drive is needed instead of logic signaling.

Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's high-speed optocoupler family designed for reliable digital communication. It differs from slower transistor-output variants by offering significantly faster rise and fall times. The X016 suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configurations within the broader VOH260 series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Vishay high-speed logic-output optocouplers with similar pinouts and isolation ratings. Verify compatibility regarding forward current requirements and output voltage levels before substitution.
