Optically-coupled isolator uses lower current
UK opto-electronic component specialist Isocom Components announces a low-current, high gain, optically-coupled isolator based on the industry standard 4N32 photo Darlington type
With the TLP627, an infra-red LED is optically coupled with an NPN photo-transistor pair to create a 5kV-proof galvanic isolation barrier between the device's input and output pins.
The output transistors are connected in a Darlington configuration to produce outstanding current transfer ratio (CTR) levels of up to 15000% when working with inputs as low as 1mA.
In addition, by resistor coupling the two emitters, Isocom Components has optimised the device's switching characteristics to a turn-on time of 50us and a turn-off time of only 15us.
This resistor connection also assists in maintaining good performance over the TLP627's -30C to +100C temperature range.
This Isolator comes in a compact four-pin dual-in-line plastic package with a choice of standard or 10mm G-form lead spread, or in gull wing configuration for a surface mounting.
Surface mount versions are available in conventional tube dispensers or in tape and reel form for automatic insertion systems.
As with all Isocom Components' devices, each device undergoes a 100% electrical parameter test prior to delivery to ensure full compliance with specification.
A special selection service to customers is provided through the customer's test facilities.
This allows isolators with enhanced performance characteristics to be provided even when small quantities are involved.
