Broadcom 2 Channel SMD Optocoupler DIP 8 Pins 25mA 3.75kV

This 2 Channel SMD Optocoupler from Broadcom features a surface-mount DIP design with 8 pins, offering high-speed performance for a variety of electronic applications. The device contains a pair of light-emitting diodes and integrated photo-detectors, providing reliable electrical insulation between the input and output.

A key feature of this optocoupler is the separate connection for the photodiode bias and output transistor collectors. This design significantly increases the operating speed—up to a hundred times faster than a conventional phototransistor coupler—by effectively reducing the base-collector capacitance.

The optocoupler is equipped with open collector outputs that are TTL compatible, supporting a bandwidth of 3MHz and a maximum working insulation voltage of 630V. With a forward current of 25mA and an impressive isolation voltage of 3.75kV, it ensures robust performance in demanding environments.

It is ideally suited for use in line receivers, replacing pulse transformers, analogue signal ground isolation, and isolated analogue amplifiers. Furthermore, it is highly effective in signal processing and sensing instrumentation applications. The component has compact dimensions of 43 mm in height, 33 mm in width, and 15 mm in depth, weighing just 1 gram.
