NEC Electronics introduces 10 Mbit/s high-speed optocouplers in new 8mm creepage package

NEC Electronics (Europe) is offering the PS9587 series which is a 10 Mbit/s optocoupler with a GaAlAs LED on the input side and an open collector output. The output side consists of a photo diode and a signal processing circuit on one chip. With the new package and its extended dimensions the PS9587 series are ideally suited for high safety applications. The optocouplers are supplied in an 8-pin DIP package with 8 mm creepage and isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms. It has an internal shield between input and output side that allows a common mode transient immunity (CMh, CMl) of minimum 15 kV/μs and typically 20kV/µs . With the wide lead frame option creepage and air distances of 8mm are available. The new PS9587 series  is designed for high speed logic data interfaces with 5 V supply voltage line. The maximum propagation delay time (t_PLH/ t_PHL) is 75 ns that enables the transfer of data at 10 Mbit/s speed.

These optocouplers are ideally suited for high speed communication interfaces, factory automation networks, test and measurement equipment and many other applications in harsh industrial environments.

All parts are fully RoHS compliant using nickel-palladium-gold plating. Common international safety certificates are available.
