Low Input Current Optocoupler, HCPL-0300-000E, Broadcom
The HCPL-0300 optocoupler combines an 82 nm AlGaAs photon emitting diode with an integrated high gain photon detector. This combination of Broadcom designed and manufactured semiconductor device brings new high performance capability to designer of isolated logic and data communication circuit. The new low current, high speed AlGaAs emitter manufactured with a unique diffused junction, has the virtue of fast rise and fall time at low drive current. This unique characteristic enables this device to be used in an RS-232-C interface ground loop isolation and improved common mode rejection. As a line receiver, it will operate over longer line length for a given data rate because of lower IF and VF specification.
