Low-power digital optocoupler for system control and a data comms interfaces

Now stocked by Mouser, Avago's ACNT-H61L low-power digital optocoupler comes in a 14.2mm wide 'creepage and clearance stretched' SO8 package. The device combines a light emitting diode (LED) and an integrated high-gain photo detector designed to provide an optically-isolated interface for system control and a data communications interface. The device is extremely low power, consuming up to 2mA of supply current across wide temperature range. The LED forward current operates from 4.5mA. The device assures AC and DC performance over the wide temperature range of -40C to +105C, says the company.
