HCPL-181
Phototransistor Optocoupler SMD Mini-Flat
Type
Features
Description
The Broadcom® HCPL-181 contains a light-emitting diode
optically coupled to a phototransistor. It is packaged in a
4-pin mini-flat SMD package with a 2.0-mm profile. The
small dimension of this product allows significant space
saving. The package volume is 30% smaller than that of
conventional DIP type. Input-output isolation voltage is
3750 Vrms. Response time, tr, is typically 4 µs and minimum
CTR is 50% at input current of 5 mA.
