High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
Agilent's new products are direct replacements for the most widely used general-purpose optocouplers, and all versions are UL and CSA certified (VDE-0884 certification optional).
Low- to medium-speed transistor output optocouplers, commonly known as phototransistor optocouplers or general purpose optocouplers are used in applications such as: microprocessor I/O interfacing; ground loop elimination; feedback circuits in switch-mode power supplies; interface between logic circuits; and level shifting.
Agilent already produces high-performance photo-IC-output optocouplers for industrial control and communications applications.
The addition of general-purpose optocouplers to the product mix will help customers to reduce their number of suppliers. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
