Go with opto: Broadcom's robust optocoupler technology is time-tested and field-proven

50 years of proven high voltage protection and signal isolation

With roots tracing back more than 50 years to Hewlett-Packard and Avago Technologies, Broadcom is a leading provider of galvanic isolation products for industrial and automotive markets leveraging its field-proven, time-tested optocoupler technology. Broadcom’s opto-isolation solutions provide unmatched high voltage protection and signal isolation that meet or exceed international safety standards. Broadcom optocouplers, including digital optocouplers, isolation amplifiers and gate drive optocouplers, are used in a broad array of applications ranging from power supply and motor control circuits to data communication and digital logic interfaces.

OPTO vs non-OPTO

Alternative galvanic isolation technologies are a no-no!

Only optocouplers meet or exceed international safety standards for insulation and isolation. Stringent evaluation tests show Broadcom optocouplers deliver outstanding safety performance and exceptional high voltage protection. Alternative galvanic isolation technologies such as capacitive and magnetic isolators do not perform anywhere near the levels of insulation and isolation provided by Broadcom optocouplers.
