   Mike Bottini , Siemens' director of optocouplers and solid state relays , noted that these new products illustrate the company's commitment to innovation in this well-established market. Siemens has long been known as a leading provider of lower-speed optocouplers , and we knew that our customers would be very interested in purchasing 5Mbit devices when we were ready to roll them out. With these new products , we can offer a broader range of optocoupler capabilities , maintaining the quality and competitive pricing our customers have come to expect , said Bottini.
   
   The new optocoupler line includes the SFH6700/6719 , SFH6701/6711 , SFH6702/6712 and SFH6705. Key features include a gallium aluminum arsenide ( GaAlAs ) infrared-emitting diode , optically coupled with an integrated photodetector optimized for improved noise immunity. Housed in an industry-standard 8-pin dual-inline package ( DIP ) , the SFH67xx features a fast data rate of 5 Mbits/s ( 2.5Mbits/s over temperature ) , isolation test voltage of 2500 VACRMS for 1 min. , and a wide supply voltage range ( 4.5 to 15V ) . Another key feature , a Faraday common mode shield , provides a high degree of protection against voltage spikes.
   
   Outputs for the SFH67xx vary to enable end-product designers to select the product that best fits their needs.

   "Imagine being able to transfer a 10 MB video file from your PDA to a friend in less than 10 seconds –the Infineon solution enables this exciting scenario," says Mike Bottini, Vice President Optoelectronics group at Infineon Technologies, "We are offering a VFIR system that can be simply programmed, flexible for all platforms, and, allows our customers to create features that will truly differentiate their product."
   
   The VFIR controller uses the same software drivers for all transmission speeds, making upgrades to 16 Mb/s effortless. In addition to 16 Mb/s, legacy support ensures that the controller and transceiver provide data transmission rates of 4 Mb/s, 1.15 Mb/s, 115 Kb/s, 9.6 Kb/s and ASK. The VFIR transceiver is pin compatible with Infineon and other leading suppliers' IrDT products. Users will be able to transmit at four times current transmission speeds with no change in power consumption. To further conserve power for hand-held devices, the transceiver has a standby current of 3.0 mA, and shutdown current of less than 50 nA.
