ACPL-217
DC-Input, Half-Pitch Phototransistor Optocoupler
Description
Features
The Broadcom® ACPL-217 is a DC-input, single-channel,
half-pitch phototransistor optocoupler that contains a
light-emitting diode optically coupled to a phototransistor. It
is packaged in a 4-pin SO package.
The input-output isolation voltage is rated at 3750VRMS.
Response time, tr, is 2 μs typically, while minimum CTR is
50% at input current of 5 mA.
