Optocouplers withstand harsh industrial environments.

Press Release Summary:



Supporting industry's temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, ACPL-071L, ACPL-074L, and ACPL-M75L high-speed dual-supply voltage digital CMOS optocouplers operate in +3.3 V and +5 V supply voltages at minimum speed of 15 MBd. Single channel ACPL-071L/M75L and dual channel ACPL 074L can prevent any output disruption in case of power supply loss or recovery. Available in SO-5 and SO-8 packaging, units are IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2, UL1577, and CSA compliant for reinforced insulation.

Avago Technologies Delivers Industry's First 15 MBd Digital Optocoupler Supporting Dual Supply Voltages and Widest Operating Temperatures



Addresses Growing Isolation Demand for Designing with Lower Supply Voltages

SHANGHAI, electronica & Productronica-China, March 18, 2008
Avago Technologies today announced a new family high-speed dual-supply voltage digital CMOS optocouplers. The company is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. Avago's new ACPL-071L, ACPL-074L and ACPL-M75L operate in +3.3V and +5V supply voltages at a minimum speed of 15 MBd and support the industry's typical widest operating temperature range. These new optocouplers are ideal for a variety of industrial and consumer applications, such as plasma display panels, power supply and digital field bus isolation.

Supporting the industry's conventional widest temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, Avago's new optocouplers are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. The ACPL-071L/M75L (single channel) and ACPL 074L (dual channel) digital optocouplers integrate a new feature similar to under voltage lock-out to prevent any output disruption in case of any power supply loss or recovery. This new product family is housed in ultra small SO-5 and SO-8 packaging, which saves valuable PCB space. In addition, products from the same family that meet 8mm creepage/clearance (ACPL-W70L and ACPL-K73L) will be available in second half of 2008. ACPL-M75L also addresses low power consumption needs with a low forward current of min 4mA.

The ACPL-071L, -074L and M75L are widely approved by international safety standards, such as IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2, UL1577 and CSA for Reinforced Insulation .

Pricing for Avago's ACPL-071L begins at $1.56 in 10,000 piece quantities. The ACPL-074L is priced at $2.88 in 10,000 piece quantities and the ACPL-M75L is priced at $1.50 in 10,000 piece quantities. The product is available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
