PS2801A-1-L-A

Optoisolators are powered components used to transfer a signal from one circuit to another, providing a degree of electrical isolation between the two circuits. One of the more common types, the transistor, photovoltaic output, is the PS2801A-1-L-A. Its main application area and working principle will be discussed here.

The primary application area of the PS2801A-1-L-A is providing isolation in digital logic interface applications. This includes protecting both input and output components from damage due to a variety of voltage and current anomalies. This optoisolator meets the requirements of AC and DC power, allowing it to be used in systems of varying levels of complexity.

The core of the PS2801A-1-L-A consists of an optical detector that triggers a phototransistor. The optical detector consists of a gallium arsenide infrared (GaAs IR) light-emitting diode (LED) that is paired with a silicon photodiode of corresponding wavelength. The LED is then connected in series to the input voltage of the optoisolator, while the photodiode is connected to the output. The LED emits light when the input voltage is small enough to conduct current, meaning that when the input voltage rises above the conduction threshold, the LED won\'t emit light.

The photodiode then detects changes in the output voltage. This detection occurs when the IR light emitted by the LED causes the photodiode to generate a current whose magnitude is proportional to the amount of light detected. When the photodiode detects an increase in the light level, the Darlington transistor connected to it will turn on, which in turn causes the output voltage to rise. Likewise, when the output voltage is low, the photodiode will detect a decrease in the light level, causing the Darlington transistor to turn off.

The primary advantage of the PS2801A-1-L-A is its ability to provide isolation in digital logic applications. This is because internal components of the optoisolator are all contained in one package. The tightly sealed construction prevents any chance of arcing or shorting between the input and output leads and eliminates the need for insulating material.

The PS2801A-1-L-A is also designed to operate over an extended temperature range of – 40 °C to + 85 °C. This allows it to maintain optimal performance in a wide variety of operating environments, including industrial applications. In addition, the integrated optical detection and transistor amplifiers allow for excellent logic switching accuracy.

The PS2801A-1-L-A is a versatile optoisolator designed to provide reliable electrical isolation in a variety of digital logic applications. It features an efficient optical detection and transistor amplifying system for excellent logic switching accuracy, as well as an extended temperature range to ensure reliable performance in a variety of environments. With its excellent isolation properties and long-term reliability, the PS2801A-1-L-A is a trusted choice for digital logic protection.
