Avago Expands Dual-Supply Voltage Optocoupler Family
Avago Technologies has announced the latest addition to its line of high-speed digital CMOS optocouplers. At 25 Megabaud (MBd), the new ACPL-772L is the industry's fastest, dual-supply voltage (3.3 V and 5 V) optocoupler in a DIP-8 package. With its unprecedented speed and the ability to support up to 5 kV in isolation voltage protection, the ACPL-772L is ideal for not only high-speed data-line transmission applications, but also those operating ...
Avago Technologies - Energy Efficient 1MBd Digital Optocoupler for Signal Isolation Interfaces
Avago Technologies claims the industry’s most energy efficient 1MBd digital optocoupler. Avago’s compact low power ACPL-M50L single channel optocoupler, which operates on approximately 80 percent less drive current than today’s standard 1MBd digital optocouplers, targets designers of communication interfaces, microcontroller system interfaces, switching power supplies, and digital isolation for A/D, D/A conversion applications.
Avago Technologies - Ultra-Low Power Optocouplers for Use in Optical Isolation Applications
Avago Technologies has announced that it has developed a new family of ultra-low power optocouplers that will pave the way for a new generation of optical isolators that can operate on approximately 90 percent less power than today's standard optocouplers. Utilizing a unique integrated circuit design and thick insulation material, Avago's innovative ACPL-M61L/061L/064L/W61L/K64L optocouplers offer a significant reduction in power requirements wit...
Fairchild Semiconductor’s Industry-First Bi-Directional Logic Gate Optocoupler Provides Proven, Reliable Optical Isolation
Design engineers working with industrial communication designs need to transmit high speed data over the communication fieldbus without the risk of damaging sensitive controllers, ADCs or sensors. The current solution uses two single-channel optocouplers or other technology, like magnetic or capacitive coupling. But this does not provide the desired level of reliable isolation and immunity to EMI.
Building a Safe and Robust Industrial System with Avago Technologies’ Optocouplers
Should production line stoppage occur at an industrial automation company, millions of dollars and opportunity costs can be lost while trying to fix the problem and get the lines running again. Breakdown can occur in areas such as electromagnetic interference, high voltage surges, and safety standards. These areas of concern need to be checked at the initial design level rather than later, after manufacturing has been developed and built.
