Avago Technologies Launches 10 MBd Digital Optocoupler for High Insulation Voltage Applications
High Data Rate and Insulation Voltage Set New Industry Standard
SAN JOSE, Calif., and SINGAPORE -- Avago Technologies (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced the release of a 10 MBd Digital Optocoupler with high Insulation Voltage ratings for power supply and high-power motor control application.
The ACNV2601 single channel, 10 MBd digital optocoupler addresses growing market segments that need high data communication rates along with high insulation voltage performance.
Avago's ACNV2601 is the industry-first optocoupler that combines 10 MBd data rates while maintaining or increasing insulating voltage ratings.
ACNV2601 is designed to provide 7,500 Vrms/1 minute isolation voltage, 1,768 Vpeak continuous working insulation voltage and 12,000 Vpeak transient over voltage. The ACNV2601 is pending IEC/UL/CSA regulatory certification for Reinforced Insulation against electric shock applications.
Avago's proprietary internal shield between the AlGaAs light emitting diode and photo-detector helps guarantee 20,000 V/µs common-mode transient immunity performance with a common-mode voltage of 1,500 V.
10 MBd Optocoupler Applications
The high insulating voltages of the Avago ACNV2601 makes it suitable for applications with 690 V power main voltages or high speed, power switching equipment that use high voltage IGBTs. Applications like wind turbines, Intelligent Power Modules and communication interfaces, such as RS 232/RS 485 and CANBus, will benefit from the combined high speed and insulation voltage characteristics of the ACNV2601.
Where conventional line receivers cannot operate, the ACNV2601 provides reliable logic interfacing and input/output buffering in the presence of extremely high ground or induced noise.
Key Features
- IEC/EN/DIN 60747-5-5 with a 1,768 Vpeak insulation working voltage and 12,000 Vpeak transient over voltage
- UL1577 with 7,500 Vrms for one minute input-to-output insulation voltage
- CSA
Packaging and Temperature Range
A 10-pin wide body (500 mil) DIP package is offered along with a gull wing lead option for standard surface mount processes. The ACNV2601 10MBd optocoupler operates over a wide temperature range of -40 to +105 degrees-C, with guaranteed AC and DC electrical performance.
Besides providing high insulation ratings, the ACNV2601's package provides creepage and clearance greater than 13 mm and distance through insulation (DTI) of 2 mm.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
Avago's ACVN2601 are priced at $2.17 each in 10,000 piece quantities. Samples and production quantities are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
