Avago Technologies Adds Smaller, High-Performance Intelligent Power Module (IPM) Interface Optocouplers to Product Line.Integrated Optoisolation Solutions for Shorter Design Cycles Now Available in Compact, Stretched SO-6 Packages 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 it has expanded its family of Intelligent Power Modules (IPM (1) (Impressions Per Minute) Generally refers to document scanners that scan both sides of the page at the same time. Thus, a scanner that scans at 100 ppm (pages per minute) can provide 200 ipm. See ppm and document scanner. ) interface optocouplers in a smaller, SO-6 package size. The company is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. Half the size of standard dual-inline packages, Avago's new ACPL-P456, -W456 and -P480 are ideal for designing energy-efficient washing machines and air conditioners, as well as industrial-grade equipment, switching power supplies and inverters. Fast maximum propagation delays on Avago's new modules provide less dead-time and improve efficiency of motor inverter (1) A logic gate that converts the input to the opposite state for output. If the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa. An inverter performs the Boolean logic NOT operation. (2) A circuit that converts DC current into AC current. Contrast with rectifier. and precision of motor. Better common mode rejection performance prevents erroneous driving of IGBTs and ensures reliable operation under noisy environments. The new ACPL-P456, -W456 and -P480 also supports a wide temperature range of -40 degrees C to +100 degrees C. Additionally, the creepage and clearance specification of Avago's optocouplers in SO-6 pin packages makes them suitable for meeting stringent 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.

It is involved in many industries, including electronics, communications and information technology. safety-critical regulatory requirements. In 10,000-piece quantities, the ACPL-P456 is priced at $1.41; the ACPL-W456 is priced at $1.41; and the ACPL-P480 is priced at $1.51. The product is 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. Key products include multi-channel and bi-directional digital optocouplers, intelligent power module gate driver interface devices, 3.3 V and 5 V digital optocouplers, 100 KBaud to 50 MBaud digital logic gate optocouplers, 100 MBd magnetic isolators, gate drive and current sense optocouplers, solid state relays (MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET).
