According to Avago, the ACPL-M50L provides high voltage performance over the lifetime of the product while meeting safe insulation requirements for reinforced applications. Available in a small outline-5 (SO-5) package size, Avago’s ACPL-M50L high speed digital optocoupler supports a wide supply voltage range from 2.7 to 24-volts and is driven by low forward drive current (IF > 3mA) with a high current transfer ratio (CTR > 80% min.) to allow direct drive from a microcontroller without the need to add a buffer chip.
Separate connections for the photodiode bias and output transistor collector of the ACPL-M50L increases its speed up to a hundred times over that of a conventional photo-transistor by reducing the base-collector capacitance. Additionally, this optocoupler operates over a wide temperature range from -40 to +105 degrees-C making it ideal for use in harsh industrial environments.
Key Features: wide supply voltage: 2.7 to 24V Vcc operation; low drive current: 3mA; open collector output; TTL compatible; 15 kV/µS high common-mode rejection at Vcm = 1500 V; operating temperature range: -40 to +105 degrees C; low propagation delay: 1 ms maximum; and worldwide safety approvals pending: IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5/UL 1577/CSA.
