Broadcom's Optocouplers series includes a range of digital and analog optocouplers designed to provide high isolation voltage and reliable signal transfer between two electrical circuits. These optocouplers use light to transfer signals across an isolation barrier, ensuring no electrical contact is made between the input and output circuits. The series includes various package options and performance features to suit different applications. The digital optocouplers are designed for high-speed applications, while the analog optocouplers are ideal for high-precision analog signal isolation. They are widely used in industrial control systems, medical equipment, hybrid electric vehicles, and other applications where high isolation voltage and signal integrity are essential.
