SOOS009 - NOVEMBER 1986
The HCPL2601 optocoupler is designed for use in high-speed digital interfacing applications that require high-voltage isolation between the input and output. It is recommended for use in extremely high ground-noise and induced-noise environments. Applications include line receivers, microprocessors or computer interface, digital programming of floating power supplies, motors, and other control systems.
The HCPL2601 high-speed optocoupler consists of a GaAsP light-emitting diode and an integrated light detector composed of a photodiode, a high-gain amplifier, and a Schottky-clamped open-collector output transistor. An input diode forward current of 5 milliamperes will switch the output transistor low, providing an on-state drive current of 13 milliamperes (eight 1.6-milliampere TTL loads). A TTL-compatible enable input is provided for applications that require output-transistor gating.
The HCPL2601 is mounted in a standard 8-pin dual-in-line plastic package.
The HCPL2601 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The internal sheild provides a guaranteed common-mode transient immunity of 1000 volts/microsecond minimum.
