Optoisolators are components that enable signals to be transferred from one circuit to another while keeping the circuits electrically isolated from one another. One specific type of optoisolator is the HCPL2730, which is a transistor, photovoltaic output (TPO) optoisolator. This component is often used in applications that require a higher logic level, meaning the voltage need not be limited within the 5V realm.

The HCPL2730 optoisolator has four terminals. The anode and cathode are connected to the LED emitter, and the base and collector are connected to an NPN transistor. First there is the input side, connected to the LED emitter. This side is powered by an external circuit. The input current through the LED causes the LED to emit light that defines the output characteristics of the device.

On the output side there is an NPN open collector transistor. When the LED is activated, the transistor switches from its non-conductive or off state to its conductive or on state. After light is emitted from the LED, the transistor begins to conduct current through it. This current then travels through the LED and is detected by thecollector terminal. By using a pull-up resistor, a voltage level is set up between the collector and the emitter terminals.

The HCPL2730 is used in a range of applications, such as video transmission, alarm and security systems, and remote sensing systems, where the signals need to be transferred from one circuit to another while maintaining electrical insulation. It is typically preferred over other types of optoisolators, such as ACPL, because of its ability to operate at higher logic levels, making it more reliable in applications that require more power.

In summary, the HCPL2730 is a transistor, photovoltaic output optoisolator. The input side is connected to the LED emitter, and the output side is connected to an NPN open collector transistor. When the LED is activated, the transistor switches its state from the non-conductive to the conductive and current is passed through the LED. This optoisolator is often used in applications that require electrical insulation while transferring the signals from one circuit to another.
