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.

Notes
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not
implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.
