ACPL-K43T, ACPL-K44T
Automotive R2Coupler™ Wide Operating
Temperature 1-MBd Digital Optocoupler in a
Stretched 8-Pin Surface-Mount Plastic Package
Description
The Broadcom® ACPL-K43T is a single-channel,
high-temperature, high-CMR, high-speed digital
optocoupler in an eight-lead miniature footprint specifically
used in the automotive applications. The ACPL-K44T is a
dual-channel equivalent of the ACPL-K43T. Both products
are available in the stretched SO-8 package outline
designed to be compatible with standard surface-mount
processes.
This digital optocoupler uses an insulating layer between
the light-emitting diode and an integrated photo detector to
provide electrical insulation between input and output.
Separate connections for the photodiode bias and output
transistor collector increase the speed up to a hundred
times over that of a conventional photo-transistor coupler by
reducing the base-collector capacitance.
Broadcom R2Coupler™ isolation products provide with
reinforced insulation and reliability that deliver safe signal
isolation, which is critical in automotive and
high-temperature industrial applications.
Features
High temperature and reliability low-speed digital
interface for automotive applications
Ultra-low drive for status feedback at IF = 0.8 mA or
1.5 mA
30 kV/µs (typ.) high common-mode rejection at
VCM = 1500V
Compact, auto-insertable stretched SO8 packages
Qualified to AEC Q100 Grade 1 test guidelines
Wide operating temperature range: –40°C to +125°C
High speed: 1 MBd
Low propagation delay: 1 µs max. at IF = 10 mA
Worldwide safety approval:
– UL 1577 approval, 5 kVRMS/1 min.
– CSA approval
– IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5
Applications
Automotive IPM driver for DC-DC converters and motor
inverters
Status feedback and wake-up signal isolation
CANBus and SPI communications interface
High-temperature digital/analog signal isolation
CAUTION! Take normal static precautions in handling and assembly of this component to prevent damage, degradation,
or both, which may be induced by ESD.

d. The difference between tPLH and tPHL between any two parts under the same test condition.
e. Common transient immunity in a Logic High level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVCM/dt on the rising edge of the common mode pulse,
VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a Logic High state (that is, VO > 2.0V). Common mode transient immunity in a Logic Low level is
the maximum tolerable (negative) dVCM/dt on the falling edge of the common mode pulse signal, VCM to assure that the output will remain in
a Logic Low state (that is, VO < 0.8 V).

Thermal Resistance Model for ACPL-K43T
The diagram of ACPL-K43T for measurement is shown in Figure 17. Here, one die is heated first and the temperatures of
all the dice are recorded after thermal equilibrium is reached. Then, the second die is heated and all the dice temperatures
are recorded. With the known ambient temperature, the die junction temperature and power dissipation, the thermal
resistance can be calculated. The thermal resistance calculation can be cast in matrix form. This yields a 2 by 2 matrix for
the case of two heat sources.
