Description Features
The HCPL-181 contains a light emitting diode optically Current Transfer Ratio
coupled to a phototransistor. It is packaged in a 4-pin mini- (CTR: min. 50% at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V)
flat SMD package with a 2.0 mm profile. The small dimension High input-output isolation voltage
of this product allows significant space saving. The package (Viso = 3750 Vrms)
volume is 30% smaller than that of conventional DIP type. High collector-emitter voltage (VCEO = 80 V)
Input-output isolation voltage is 3750 Vrms. Response Response time
time, tr, is typically 4 s and minimum CTR is 50% at input (tr: typ., 4 s at VCE = 2 V, IC = 2 mA, RL = 100 )
current of 5 mA. Mini-flat package (2.0 mm profile) in tape and reel
