Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output,
AC Input, with Base Connection
IL256AT
Vishay Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION
The IL256AT is an AC input phototransistor optocoupler. The
device consists of two infrared emitters connected in reverse
parallel and coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor
detector.
These circuit elements are constructed with a standard
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.
FEATURES
Guaranteed CTR symmetry, 2:1 maximum
