DESCRIPTION
The IL256A is an AC input phototransistor optocou-
pler. The device consists of two infrared emitters
connected in anti-parallel and coupled to a silicon
NPN phototransistor detector.
These circuit elements are constructed with a stan-
dard SOIC-8 foot print.
The product is well suited for telecom applications
such as ring detection or off/on hook status, given
its bidirectional LED input and guaranteed current
transfer ratio (CTR) minimum of 20% at IF= 10 mA.
