HCPL-061A-000E

HCPL-061A-000E is a Optoisolators - Logic Output device with a wide range of applications.

Optoisolators are a type of semiconductor component that provides electrical isolation between two parts of a circuit. They do this by using an optically coupled light activated triac output. Optoisolators can be used in many applications, such as protecting circuits from damage due to shorts, and isolating sensitive signals and noise from other circuits.

The HCPL-061A-000E Optoisolator is a low-cost, low-power, and low-input current device that is suitable for use in various small and medium applications. It is ideal for use in systems with limited space, and where a low-cost solution is necessary. The HCPL-061A-000E has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

The HCPL-061A-000E consists of an optically isolated IC package containing an optically coupled light-activated triac output. The device is powered by a DC supply voltage and has a four-pin configuration. The HCPL-061A-000E also includes a reverse polarity protection circuit, over-current protection circuit, and a voltage spike suppressor circuit.

The HCPL-061A-000E is designed to be used in low voltage applications. Its maximum output power is 500mW. The device is a logic output optoisolator, which means that it can switch an AC or DC load ranging from 6mA to 50mA. The device is capable of operating with variable speeds from 1kHz to 10kHz.

The HCPL-061A-000E offers several standard features, including high noise immunity, low power losses, a low ON-state voltage drop, minimal leakage current, and a protection circuit that allows the device to switch off in the event of an over-current or low power condition.

The working principle of the HCPL-061A-000E is simple. When a voltage signal is applied to the input terminal of the optoisolator, the light-activated triac output is activated. This causes a current to flow through the output terminals, thus switching the load connected to it. The triac output can be disabled again by cutting off the input voltage.

The HCPL-061A-000E has a wide range of applications. It can be used in various electrical switching and control systems, such as in lighting control systems, automotive electronics, and safety systems to name a few. The device can also be used in switch mode power supplies and as an electronic latch.
