Broadcom Limited AVGO, a leading designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of analog and digital semiconductor connectivity solutions, recently introduced its next-generation 5A gate drive optocoupler devices, ACPL-352J and ACNW3430. These new devices are designed to support a wide range of industrial applications.The new ACPL-352J incorporates highly advanced technology, which ensures system reliability and high availability. Both these devices feature minimum proliferation delay with excellent timing skew, enabling high frequency switching to enhance efficiency.The company had tasted immense commercial success with its previous 5A optocouplers.
