16kV optoisolator achieves 2MBd data rates

Optek’s new OPI1268 16kV High Voltage Optoisolator provides power electronics design engineers with a high voltage optical isolator which delivers AC and DC voltage isolation up to 16kV while achieving digital data transmission rates of 2MBd.

The OPI1268 optoisolator combines a high efficiency GaAlAs (Gallium Aluminum Arsenide) LED with a peak wavelength of 850nm, optically coupled to a Photologic® photodiode in the output IC. Forward current (IF) is 10mA typical/50mA max, with typical propagation delays (tPHL-tPLH) ≤ 500ns. Creepage distance/air path is 0.970 inches (24.64mm), and the devices are UL recognized under file #E58730.

Packaged in an opaque high dielectric plastic housing, the OPI1268 device measures 27.94mm x 6.35mm x 8.89mm with a five-lead configuration (cathode, anode, Vcc, output and ground). Operating temperature range is from -40°C to +100°C.
