5962-8978501PA Datasheet/PDFOptoisolators - Transistor, Photovoltaic Output
Optoisolators are optoelectronic components that electrically isolate one circuit from another. They are made up of a LED and a detector/transistor. The LED emits light when an electrical signal is applied to it which is then returned as electrical pulses by the detector/transistor. This is a key advantage as it prevents the two signals from backfeeding into each other and protects them from noise and interference.
The 5962-8978501PA optoisolator is a unique type of optoisolator. It is a transistor, photovoltaic output model which is particularly useful in applications where a low output current is desirable, such as medical and military applications. It features a low output voltage (5.2V max) and an isolated dark current of 200 pA. Its package size is small, which makes it ideal for space-constrained applications.
The working principle of the 5962-8978501PA involves the LED emitting light when an electrical current is applied. As the light passes across a photo-sensitive detector, the detector generates an electrical signal which is then returned by the transistor. The output is then read by the other circuit and is used by that circuit to control the other devices.
This optoisolator is used in a variety of applications, such as analog and digital power supply control, such as AC mains relay control, frequency switching, and motor control. It is also used in industrial solutions for machine controls, motion control, and data communications. It is also employed in medical applications such as lab equipment signal transmission and isolation, as well as military applications, where high reliability and low output current are of utmost importance.
The 5962-8978501PA is a versatile and reliable optoisolator that provides exceptional performance and accuracy in a small package. Its low output current and its ability to provide electrical isolation make it a superior choice for applications where accuracy and reliability are of utmost importance. Its small size and low power consumption make it a great choice for applications that require a compact design and low power consumption.
