Vishay launches new 10 MBd low-power optocoupler with supply current as low as 5 mA and voltage range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V

High-speed device helps save energy in industrial applications, suitable for low-voltage microcontrollers and I ² C bus systems

MALVER N , Pennsylvania , USA , Shanghai, China - December 7, 2023 - Recently , Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE stock code: VSH) announced the launch of five new 10 MBd low - power high-speed optocouplers to help Energy saving for industrial applications. The single-channel VOH260A, VOIH060A and VOWH260A and the dual-channel VOH263A and VOIH063A have a voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V , adopt open collector output, and are suitable for low-voltage microcontrollers, I ² C and SPI bus systems.

Recently released Vishay Semiconductors devices combine high-efficiency input LEDs with integrated programmable output photodetector logic gates in DIP-8 , SMD-8 and SOIC-8 packages. The maximum supply current of each channel of the optocoupler is only 5 mA , and the turn-on threshold current is low, with a typical value of 2 mA . The direct connection of the microcontroller does not require an additional driver stage, thus simplifying the design.

VOH260A, VOIH060A, VOWH260A, VOH263A and VOIH063A are suitable for data communications, high-speed A/D and D/A conversion, signal level conversion, and high-voltage protection of automation equipment, motor drives, and power tools. The device's internal shielding ensures a minimum common-mode transient noise immunity (CMTI) of 15 kV/μs. Optocouplers have low turn-on threshold current and low supply current, making them an ideal solution for isolating current noise and breaking ground loops in digital applications.

The device is RoHS compliant with a maximum rated isolation voltage of 5000 V _RMS and an isolation distance of 5 mm to 10 mm to meet a wide range of requirements, including applications with operating voltages in excess of 1000 V.

Device specification sheet:

The high-speed optocoupler is now available for sampling and mass production, with a lead time of 6 weeks.
