It is enclosed in an SMD (Surface Mount Device) SO-8 package that is very small, measuring at only 3.98 x 7.87 mm. It has a 1.8 to 36V DC operating voltage range, and has both TTL and CMOS compatibility. It features an open collector output with a maximum output voltage of 36V, and is rated a maximum output current of 80mA. The output of the optoisolator is also equipped with a 0.5A current limiting resistor, allowing for protection against load shorting. The maximum propagation delay of this component is 10µs, and its common mode transient immunity is ±15 kV/µs.

Applications

The HCPL-3700#500 has a wide array of applications. Its small physical size and open collector output makes it ideally suited for embedded systems or medical equipment, where the utmost reliability and physical size must be taken into consideration. Additionally, due to its TTL and CMOS compatibility, as well as its ability to output digital and analog signals alike, it can be used to interface with a variety of different components. It can be used in safety applications as a solid state relay, helping to isolate digital circuitry from hazardous voltages or currents.

Working Principle

The HCPL-3700#500 has a standard optoisolator circuit. The input portion of the circuit consists of an LED light source that is connected to a transistor, acting as a switch. When the input portion of the circuit is triggered by an electrical signal, the LED transmits light to the output portion of the circuit. The output portion of the optoisolator is composed of an IC photodetector, which converts the transmitted light into an electrical signal. This output signal is then relayed on to the device or circuit it is interfacing with. Through this process, the signal is electrically isolated between the input and output portions of the circuit.

Conclusion

The HCPL-3700#500 is a single channel, Transistor, Photovoltaic Output optoisolator. Its ability to transfer both digital and analog signals, as well as its small physical size and open collector output make it ideal for embedded systems and medical equipment alike. The HCPL-3700#500 is capable of providing a reliable form of electrical isolation between circuits, while also providing a maximum output current of 80mA and a maximum output voltage of 36V. Through the use of light-triggered signals, this optoisolator helps to provide an electrical insulation barrier between circuits.
