Avago Technologies Adds High-Quality Multi-Channel Phototransistors to Optocoupler Product Family.Worldwide Leading Supplier of Optocouplers Expands Portfolio to Target Industrial Applications SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced a new family of multi-channel phototransistor A transistor that uses light rather than electricity to cause an electrical current to flow from one side to the other. It is used in a variety of sensors that detect the presence of light. optocouplers to complement its existing single-channel product line. The company is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. With a world-class delivery track record and solid optocoupler expertise, Avago's new dual- and quad-channel phototransistors are ideal for industrial applications, such as high-end switch-mode power supplies for servers and telecom equipment. Avago's ACPL-824 and ACPL-827 are 2-channel, full-pitch AC and DC input phototransistors in an 8-pin DIP package. The ACPL-844 and ACPL ACPL Allen County Public Library (Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA) ACPL Autonomic Computing Policy Language ACPL Aircraft Certification Policy Letter (Canada) ACPL Asynchronous Concurrent Programming Language -847 are 4-channel, full-pitch AC and DC input phototransistors in a 16-pin DIP package. Designed with a high input-output isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms, these new phototransistors are available in several options, including wide-lead spacing, lead bend (for surface mounting) and lead free (for RoHS compliance). This multi-channel phototransistor line meets safety and regulatory compliance approvals for CSA (1) (Canadian Standards Association, Toronto, Ontario, www.csa.ca) A standards-defining organization founded in 1919. It is involved in many industries, including electronics, communications and information technology. , UL 1577 and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission 60747-5-2. U.S. Pricing and Availability The 2-channel ACPL-824 (AC) and ACPL-827 (DC) are priced at $0.31 and $0.23 in 100,000 unit levels. The 4-channel ACPL-844 (AC) and ACPL-847 (DC) are priced at $0.62 and $0.47 in 100,000 unit levels. Products are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Avago Optoisolation Solutions Avago Technologies is the No. 1 supplier of photo-IC optocouplers and ships hundreds of millions of products annually. The company provides the industry's broadest portfolio of optocouplers for use in a wide array of high voltage The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits, in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to isolation applications ranging from power supply and motor control circuits to data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. and digital logic interface circuits. Avago is the technology leader in high speed, low voltage and high integration optocouplers, and offers the widest range of packages and worldwide safety approvals.
