Optocouplers for lower power and lower supply voltage applications

Now stocked by Farnell element14, Avago's 5MBd digital optocouplers are primarily designed around lower power consumption and lower supply voltage applications. The ACPL-x2xL devices draw less than 10mW without compromising signal isolation capability or integrity. These 5MBd optocouplers feature a minimum input drive current of 1.6mA, maximum supply current of 1.1mA and a low supply voltage of 3.3V and CMOS outputs, enabling a reduction in power consumption of up to 80% compared to conventional 5MBd digital optocouplers and other isolators on the market, says the company. Operating temperature range -40C to 105C, making the devices ideal for industrial applications such as motor controllers, microprocessors system interfaces, high-speed line receiver, power control system, ground loop elimination, isolation for high speed logic systems and computer peripheral interfaces.
