Optocouplers cut system costs
Two new high-speed optocouplers from NEC are compatible with existing devices from Agilent, and are suitable for reducing system costs in both existing and new designs.
Two new high-speed optocouplers from NEC are compatible with existing devices from Agilent, and are suitable for reducing system costs in both existing and new designs The PS8802-1 and PS8802-2 are optically coupled isolators containing a GaAIAs LED on the light emitting side (input side) and a PIN photodiode and a high-speed amplifier transistor on the output side on one chip

Sunrise set to ship fastest gate arrays yet
Dedicated NEC distributor Sunrise Electronics is now helping customers to design with the latest 0.25-micron CMOS-10HD family of CMOS gate array products.
The -1 is a single device, whereas the -2 has dual inputs and outputs, ideal for applications where space saving is at a premium.
The new PS8802-x high speed optically coupled isolators are suitable for use in computers and peripherals, for applications like serial bus isolation as well as substituting for relays and pulse transformers in general purpose inverters, power supply applications and factory automation systems.
Both these new NEC couplers offer fast response times and a minimum common mode transient immunity of 10kV/us.
The isolation voltage for both types is 2500V RMS.
They are direct replacements for Agilent HCPL0501/HCPL0531 types.
These new couplers are designed to operate from a high level supply voltage of up to 35V.
They available in a plastic S08 type package for high-density applications.
Samples are available on request from Sunrise Electronics.
