Broadcom DC Input Optocoupler Surface Mount 8-Pin SO-8 Package ACPL-021L-500E

Broadcom ACPL-021L-500E is a single channel digital optocoupler designed for DC input applications. Packaged in a surface mount 8-pin SO-8 form factor, it integrates a CMOS output stage and optical receiver input with Schmitt triggers. This configuration creates logic-compatible waveforms, eliminating the need for additional external waveform shaping circuits.

The optocoupler is engineered for ultra-low power consumption, drawing a maximum IDD current of only 1.1mA per channel, making it ideal for power-sensitive industrial applications. A forward LED input current as low as 1.6mA allows most microprocessors to directly drive the LED input, simplifying design requirements.

With a typical data transfer rate of 5 Mbd, this device supports high-speed signal isolation needs in industrial digital control and communication circuits. It offers a high isolation voltage of 567V peak, ensuring protection of sensitive electronics from high voltage spikes and surges.

The component operates reliably within a broad temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, suitable for demanding environments including industrial automation, instrumentation, and power supplies.

Its tape and reel packaging allows efficient handling and placement in automated surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly lines, optimizing manufacturing throughput.

Broadcom ACPL-021L-500E conforms to recognized international certifications including CSA, IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5, and UL 1577, and aligns with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, reflecting commitment to quality and environmental standards.

This Optocoupler is commonly used in industrial automation, manufacturing equipment, power management systems, and electronic instrumentation where electrical isolation of control signals is critical for safety and noise immunity.
