Broadcom ACPL-217-50BE DC Input Optocoupler, Surface, 4-Pin SOIC

Broadcom ACPL Series Optocoupler, 3000Vrms Isolation Voltage, 50% Minimum Current Transfer Ratio - ACPL-217-50BE

This optocoupler provides electrical isolation between input and output for DC control signals on PCB assemblies. Housed in an SOIC surface-mount package and supplied on tape and reel, it is intended for single-channel signal transfer where high-voltage isolation and Compact board mounting are required. The device operates across a wide temperature span and conforms to recognised international safety standards.

Features and Benefits:

• 3000Vrms isolation delivers safe separation of circuits
  DC input supports low-current control applications
  50-260% current transfer ratio enables varied gain conditions
  2μs rise and 3μs fall times suit fast signalling
  5mA maximum input current reduces drive requirements
  -55°C to 110°C operating range tolerates harsh environments

Applications

• Suitable for PCB-mount SOIC signal isolation tasks
  Used with low-voltage control logic Interfaces
  Ideal for surface-mount industrial sensor input separation
  Can be used for isolated communication line buffering
  Used for protected Interface circuits in power subsystems
