HCPL-073L-060E

HCPL-073L-060E is an optoisolator - transistor, photovoltaic output type manufactured by Avago Technologies. It is a 4-pin package ( DIP - 4 ) which includes a LED (Light Emitting Diode) , photovoltaic absorber, and two output transistors (HMOS) , all encapsulated in a single package. HCPL-073L-060E optoisolator provides total electrical isolation (of up to 2500Vrms) between the input and output, which makes it particularly suitable for reliable communication between two circuits operating at different potentials or ground levels.

Application fields of HCPL-073L-060E:

HCPL-073L-060E optoisolator is mainly used in areas such as industrial automation, process control, office equipment, medical equipments, robotics, language processing systems, and automotive vehicles, as these applications require a reliable source of isolated, low level, or high level voltage signal conditioning for communication. Moreover, the optoisolator\'s electrical insulation allows for signal transmission across high voltage isolation boundaries.

Working Principle of HCPL-073L-060E:

The working principle of the HCPL-073L-060E optoisolator is based on a photovoltaic effect. The LED produces a light signal which is received by the photovoltaic absorber and converted into electrical energy. This electrical energy is used to drive the output transistors and thus create an isolated output signal. This output signal is isolated from the input thus providing electrical insulation between both circuits. This isolation allows the optoisolator to act as a signal converter, or as a signal isolator, depending on the application.

The HCPL-073L-060E optoisolator is designed so that it can operate in any environmental conditions. Its maximum operating temperature range is -55°C to +125°C, and its input voltage range is 0V to 5.5V. Its maximum power dissipation is 0.5W and its output current is limited to 100 mA.

Conclusion:

HCPL-073L-060E optoisolator provides an electrically isolated, low to high level voltage signal conditioning for reliable communication between two circuits at different potentials. It is ideal for use in industrial automation, office equipment, medical equipments, robotics, language processing systems, and automotive vehicles as it offers electrical insulation across high voltage isolation boundaries. The optoisolator is designed to operate in any environmental conditions and has a maximum operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
