The combination of small size with low power consumption and high common-mode rejection makes the HCPL-0738 optocoupler ideal for the drive circuits of plasma display panels.
The combination of small size with low power consumption and high common-mode rejection makes the HCPL-0738 ideal for the drive circuits of plasma display panels It also makes this new Agilent optocoupler valuable for use in other high-speed applications, including interfacing microprocessor and peripheral inputs and outputs to electrically noisy external environments and for industrial networks such as Fieldbus, DeviceNet, SDS and Profibus

High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
The HCPL-0738 is a dual-channel 15Mbaud CMOS optocoupler housed in a small-outline SO-8 (SOIC-8) 8-pin surface-mount package.
The HCPL-0708 offers the same performance in a single-channel version.
The HCPL-0738 offers an extremely compact size of 3.2 x 4 x 5mm, low power consumption of 16mA maximum at 5V nominal, 10kV/us minimum common-mode rejection and operation over the -40 to +100C temperature range.
These optocouplers interface directly with conventional 5V CMOS logic circuitry, simplifying designs and reducing overall component count.
To assure electrical safety, both the dual- and single-channel optocouplers are UL recognised (2500V RMS for 1min per UL 1577), recognised under CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5, and can also be supplied VDE0884 (TUV) approved.
