Low Input Current, Phototransistor Output, SOP-4,
Mini-Flat Package
DESCRIPTION
The 110 °C rated VOM617A has a GaAs infrared emitting
diode emitter, which is optically coupled to a silicon planar
phototransistor detector, and is incorporated in a 4 pin
100 mil lead pitch miniflat package. It features a high current
transfer ratio, low coupling capacitance, and high isolation
voltage.
These coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
