The APT1221WA is an optocoupler, classified as an optoisolator type with triac or SCR output. It has a wide range of applications including, but not limited to, motor control, lighting control, and industrial process control. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of this device.

The APT1221WA is ideally suited for use as a general purpose optically isolated interface between an isolated analog control signal and a variety of loads, such as low voltage lamps, relays, or motor loads. Due to the integration of optically isolated counter, the device can be used for counting and totalizing applications.

The input stage of the APT1221WA consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) that is optically isolated from its output. The LED is internally connected to the control voltage input. An internal amplification transistor at the output stage drives the external load, such as a triac or SCR, providing the necessary current and voltage for the connected load. This optically isolated driver supplies the necessary fire voltage to the connected device while also providing a full galvanic isolation between the input control signal and the output load.

The optically isolated counter of the APT1221WA is used to switch the output ON and OFF with a drop of voltage on the control signal. This is achieved when the device detects a voltage drop on the control signal input. When the voltage rises, the device switches the output OFF. The internal counter is programmable, allowing it to be used for counting and totalizing applications.

The optically isolated counter of the APT1221WA is also used to provide frequency regulation. This is achieved by setting the “Trigger” parameter on the device. When the voltage on the control signal reaches the Trigger value, the device switches off the output and the counter is reset to zero. This resets the count, and when the voltage drops, the device switches the output back on. This process is repeated, providing a regulation of frequency of the output.

The APT1221WA also incorporates thermal protection and under-voltage protection, ensuring that the device is protected from damage. The device also has a “transformerless” circuit, allowing it to be used in areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

In summary, the APT1221WA is an optocoupler, classified as an optoisolator type with triac or SCR output. The device has a wide range of applications, including motor control, lighting control, and industrial process control, and it provides a full galvanic isolation between the input control signal and the output load. The device also has an optically isolated counter, a thermal protection, an under-voltage protection, and a transformerless circuit. It is ideally suited for use as a general purpose optically isolated interface.
