Solid state relay upgrades switching
performance
The CPC1510 is a current-limiting normally open 1-Form-A optically isolated solid state relay that replaces electromechanical devices and enhances the performance of wireline-interface applications.
Available now from Clare, the CPC1510 is a current-limiting normally open 1-Form-A optically isolated solid state relay (SSR) that both replaces electromechanical devices and enhances the performance of wireline-interface applications Manufactured in Clare's dielectrically isolated silicon technology, the CPC1510 features active current-limit protection circuitry integrated with the output MOSFET relay switches

Platform cuts linecard development work
Legerity and Clare have unveiled a new foreign exchange office (FXO) evaluation platform that will reduce the system-level cost, board space and development time for trunk interface linecards.
The active current limit circuitry also provides a thermal shutdown feature in the CPC1510 relay offering excellent power cross immunity for improved survivability in harsh environments.
These enhancements greatly improve the robustness of end systems using this device compared with relays without the integrated current limit.
Steve Andrezyk, Clare Director of Marketing, said: "With high circuit integration and built-in current-limit protection, the CPC1510 simplifies PC board layout design and reduces error rates and manufacturing complexities".

This current limiting 1-Form-A normally open SSR is for general telecomms switching applications such as the hook switch or ringing relay as well as instrumentation, industrial controls, peripherals, security, and medical equipment.
Additional key features include linear AC/DC operation, low power consumption, clean, bounce-free switching and low power drive requirements.
Clare OptoMOS solid state relays and special telecomms circuits are prevalent throughout the communications network offering semiconductor control, system isolation and board savings compared with electromechanical relays.
OptoMOS is in customer premises equipment such as modems, basestations, fax machines and PDAs, as well as central office equipment like remote terminals and PBXs.
The CPC1510 OptoMOS SSR is now available in production volumes with a lead-time of six weeks after receipt of order.
Pricing is $1.48 each in 10,000-unit quantities.
