HCPL-260L-320E Application Field and Working Principle

HCPL-260L-320E is part of the Optoisolators - Logic Output series from Avago Technologies. It is a logic interface optocoupler with darlington output circuit. It has a logic input forward voltage of just 2.2V and can operate from a common mode input voltage range of up to 12V. The device is designed for high performance in the harshest of industrial circuits. It is also RoHS and Reach compliant, making it an ideal choice for applications that require a robust, reliable optocoupler.

The HCPL-260L-320E is most commonly used in industrial applications. Its high performance and reliability make it suitable for robust, harsh industrial environment applications such as factory automation, robotic systems, motor drives, and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. It is also used in industrial controllers and sensors, automotive applications, and authentication systems.

It is especially well-suited for use in motion and speed control applications, as it can provide logic compatibility while providing a high logic input impedance. This helps to eliminate the need for additional logic circuitry, thus reducing system complexity and cost.

The HCPL-260L-320E is a logic interface optocoupler that uses a photodiode, a darlington output circuit, and a Schmitt trigger. When a logic signal is applied to the device, the photodiode emits light which turns on the darlington output circuit. This in turn, activates the Schmitt trigger, resulting in a logic level output signal.

The logic level output signal has the same logic polarity as the input logic signal. It is also more reliable than other optocoupler technologies since the HCPL-260L-320E has an integral Schmitt trigger, reducing noise sensitivity. This helps to maintain a stable output signal even in a noisy environment.

The device has a very fast response time of just 4 microseconds, making it ideal for use in high speed applications. The current transfer ratio of the HCPL-260L-320E is also significantly higher than other optocoupler technologies, making it more efficient in switching large signals.

In addition, the device has an integrated fail-safe feature that prevents it from being damaged even in the event of an extended voltage breakdown. The device also benefits from a wide temperature range, making it suitable for use in an array of different environmental conditions.

The HCPL-260L-320E from Avago Technologies is an ideal choice for tough, high performance industrial applications. Its high speed response time, wide temperature range, high current transfer ratio, and built-in fail-safe feature make it a very reliable and versatile optocoupler. It is also RoHS and Reach compliant, making it a safe and environmentally friendly choice.

In summary, the HCPL-260L-320E has been designed to provide a high-performance, reliable, and cost-effective solution for industrial and automotive applications. It is an excellent choice for a variety of applications where logic compatibility and high performance are required.
