Avago launches 10 MBd digital optocoupler for high insulation voltage apps

SAN JOSE, USA & SINGAPORE: Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, has released a 10 MBd Digital Optocoupler with high Insulation Voltage ratings for power supply and high-power motor control application.

The ACNV2601 single channel, 10 MBd digital optocoupler addresses growing market segments that need high data communication rates along with high insulation voltage performance. Avago’s ACNV2601 is the industry-first optocoupler that combines 10 MBd data rates while maintaining or increasing insulating voltage ratings.

ACNV2601 is designed to provide 7,500 Vrms/1 minute isolation voltage, 1,768 Vpeak continuous working insulation voltage and 12,000 Vpeak transient over voltage. The ACNV2601 is pending IEC/UL/CSA regulatory certification for Reinforced Insulation against electric shock applications.

Avago’s proprietary internal shield between the AlGaAs LED and photo-detector helps guarantee 20,000 V/µs common-mode transient immunity performance with a common-mode voltage of 1,500 V.

Avago’s ACVN2601 are priced at $2.17 each in 10,000 piece quantities. Samples and production quantities are available now through Avago’s direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
