Optoisolators - Logic Output

The HCPL-5201#300 is an optoisolator housed in a 4-pin DIP package designed with protective circuitry for efficient isolation of a low power signal from a receiving device. This type of optoisolator contains a 2-channel LED in the same package body, one of which emits light from the LED when a voltage is applied to it and the other operates as a phototransistor and receives the light from it. The HCPL-5201#300 can be used to transfer any low power signal from the transmitting side to the receiving side without any direct contact, which facilitates transfer of signals that may cause interference to the system if conducted through a normal conducting path.

Application Field

The main application of the HCPL-5201#300 is in the area of digital signal isolation for the purpose of avoiding ground level and noise interference. It is commonly used in applications such as power line communications, data interfaces used for communicating between various electronic devices, and industrial control systems. Additionally, the HCPL-5201#300 can be used to prevent the introduction of extraneous signals to sensitive areas, where the input or output signals need to be isolated. Furthermore, the device can also be used in encryption for preventing eavesdropping of confidential data from wireless transmissions.

Working Principle

The HCPL-5201#300 consists of two optical isolator circuits within the same package body. The first circuit is comprised of a light emitting diode (LED) that emits light when a voltage is applied to it while the other circuit contains a photosensitive transistor that operates based on the light received from the LED. When these two circuits are tuned in the correct way, the signal from the transmitting side can be isolated from the receiving side. This happens due to the capacitor connected to the LED circuit that acts as a high-impedance barrier and prevents the power from being conducted to the receiving side. Thus, the signal can be isolated and transferred from the transmitting side to the receiving side without any considerable negative impact on the signal strength.

In the case of digital applications, the HCPL-5201#300 optoisolator utilizes a Schmitt trigger for increasing the noise immunity by providing hysteresis in the output circuit. A Schmitt trigger is a form of digital logic circuit that contains a regenerative action, which means that the output remains in the same state until the external input activates an internal feedback loop causing a switching effect. This ensures that the device can withstand considerable levels of noise and interference and still have the desired output.

Conclusion

The HCPL-5201#300 optoisolator is a low power signal isolation device that can be used in a variety of digital applications to prevent interference and noise from reaching sensitive areas. It uses the principles of optical isolation and a Schmitt trigger to ensure a reliable and noise-free signal transmission between two devices without any direct contact. The HCPL-5201#300 is a versatile device that can be used in a wide range of applications.
