Description
The ACPL-214 is an AC-input single channel half-pitch
phototransistor optocoupler that contains two light-emitting
diodes connected inversely parallel and optically coupled to a
phototransistor. It is packaged in a 4-pin SO package.
The input-output isolation voltage is rated at 3000 Vrms.
Response time, tr, is 2 μs typically, while minimum CTR is
20 percent at input current of 1 mA.
