Description

Features

The HCPL-817 contains a light emitting diode optically

coupled to a phototransistor. It is packaged in a 4-pin DIP
package and available in wide-lead spacing option and
lead bend SMD option. Input-output isolation voltage is
5000 Vrms. Response time, tr, is typically 4 s and minimum
CTR is 50% at input current of 5 mA.
