Optoisolators are devices that isolate one electrical circuit from another. They use a combination of light and photodetectors to achieve complete electrical separation. HCPL-7721-360E is one type of optoisolator that belongs to the category of Logic Output. In this article, we will discuss its application fields and working principle.

Applications of the HCPL-7721-360E

HCPL-7721-360E is commonly used in applications which require electrical isolation. Such as interfacing two electrical systems with different power grounds, eliminating ground loops and providing surge protection. It is also widely used in PLCs, industrial motor control, robotics, medical equipment, and automotive systems.

The HCPL-7721-360E has an isolation voltage of up to 5000 Vrms. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require higher isolation voltage, such as test and measurement equipment. The high isolation level also ensures that electrical signals won\'t be lost through crosstalk or interference.

It can operate over a wide temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. Therefore, it can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications. The device also has a tactile, or a push-button, input option, which makes it well-suited for applications that require manual control.

Working Principle of HCPL-7721-360E

Optoisolators are made up of a photodiode, an LED, and other electronic components such as transistors and diodes. The HCPL-7721-360E contains a gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) LED coupled to a silicon photodiode. It also has an integrated demodulator that amplifies the input signal.

The LED is powered by an electrical signal which causes it to emit light. This light is then detected by the photodiode and converted into electrical energy which is sent to the output circuit. The demodulator amplifies the signal from the photodiode so that it can be used by the external circuit.

The photodiode is subjected to different inputs such as ambient light, crosstalk, and electrical noise. To protect the photodiode from these inputs, a metal enclosure is integrated into the device. This enclosure shields the device from any external interference.

Conclusion

The HCPL-7721-360E is an optoisolator that belongs to the logic output category. It is mainly used for applications that require electrical isolation, such as PLCs, robotics, and industrial motor control. It has a wide operating temperature range and has an isolation voltage of up to 5000Vrms, making it suitable for applications that require higher isolation voltages. The HCPL-7721-360E also has a tactile input option, which makes it suitable for manual control applications. It works by converting a signal from an electrical input to a light output, and then a light input to an electrical output. This is done using an LED, a photodiode and a demodulator, and is shielded from external interference by an integrated metal enclosure.
