Automotive Optocouplers - Beyond Meeting the Electrical Performance at High Temperature

The trend of electric or hybrid electric vehicles has accelerated the introduction of electronic components into cars. The components residing under the hood will experience high ambient temperatures in excess of +105°C. While some products are able to meet electrical specifcations up to +125°C, they cannot be conveniently assumed to be suitable for automotive applications. Here, we take look at what goes into an automotive grade optocoupler beyond meeting high temperature electrical specifications. As part of the R2Coupler™ family, Avago Technologies’ automotive grade optocouplers were designed and qualifed to meet these stringent standards.
