Avago Technologies Expands Industry's Fastest, Dual-Supply Voltage Optocoupler Family.Reliable, High-Speed Product Extends Company's Reach Into Industrial, Test and Measurement Markets MUNICH, Germany -- 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 the latest addition to its line of high-speed digital CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. optocouplers. At 25 Megabaud (MBd), the new ACPL-772L is the industry's fastest, dual-supply voltage (3.3 V and 5 V) optocoupler in a DIP-8 package. With its unprecedented speed and the ability to support up to 5 kV in isolation voltage protection, the ACPL-772L is ideal for not only high-speed data-line transmission applications, but also those operating in higher voltages, such as test and measurement products. Avago is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. Avago's new ACPL-772L supports a wide temperature range of -40 degrees C to +105 degrees C, provides creepage and clearance of greater than 7mm, and offers a low pulse width pulse width Pulse duration Cardiac pacing The duration of a pacing pulse in msecs distortion of 6 nanosecond (1) One billionth of a second. Used to measure the speed of logic and memory chips, a nanosecond can be visualized by converting it to distance. In one nanosecond, electricity travels approximately a foot in a wire. (ns) maximum, which helps to maintain high data integrity over longer distances. The device exhibits a high common-mode rejection of 10 kV/microsecond minimum, with 40 ns maximum propagation delay The time it takes to transmit a signal from one place to another. Propagation delay is dependent solely on distance and two thirds the speed of light. Signals going through a wire or fiber generally travel at two thirds the speed of light. Contrast with nodal processing delay. and 20 ns maximum propagation delay skew (1) The misalignment of a document or punch card in the feed tray or hopper that prohibits it from being scanned or read properly. (2) In facsimile, the difference in rectangularity between the received and transmitted page. . As the ACPL-772L can operate in dual supply voltages, designers of digital fieldbus (DeviceNet, PROFIBUS (PROcess FIeldBUS) An industrial control network used for factory automation, process control, motion control and safety networks. Using a master/slave architecture, specialized "Profiles" are used to support each of these areas. ) and test and measurement applications have the flexibility in selecting supply voltages, reducing level-shifting circuitry and lowering power consumption. The ACPL-772L's approval in the following widely accepted international safety standards Safety standards are standards designed to ensure the safety of products, activities or processes, etc. They may be advisory or compulsory and are normally laid down by an advisory or regulatory body that may be either voluntary or statutory. is pending: UL1577, 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. File CA88324 (Notice#5), and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2. U.S. Pricing and Availability The ACPL-772L high-speed optocoupler is supplied in the DIP-8 package and is priced at $2.70 each in 10,000-piece quantities. The high-performance ACPL-772L is also available in an SO-8 package (ACPL-072L). Both products are available now through Avago Technologies' direct sales channels and worldwide distribution partners. Avago will demonstrate its new products at booth #243 located in Hall A4 at Electronica this week in Munich from Nov. 14-17, 2006.
