Broadcom 6N135/6, HCNW135/6, HCPL-2502/0500/0501 Single-Channel, High-Speed Optocouplers
Product Overview
These diode-transistor optocouplers provide electrical insulation between input and output using an insulating layer between an LED and an integrated photodetector. Featuring separate connections for photodiode bias and output-transistor collector, they achieve speeds up to a hundred times faster than conventional phototransistor couplers by reducing base-collector capacitance. Available in 8-pin DIP, SO-8, and Widebody package configurations, these single-channel optocouplers are suitable for TTL/CMOS, TTL/LSTTL, wide-bandwidth analog, and high-speed TTL/TTL applications. They offer high speed (1 Mb/s), TTL compatibility, open collector output, and safety approvals including UL Recognition, CSA Approval, and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5 approval.
