HCPL-7840#060

Product Overview

Category

HCPL-7840#060 belongs to the category of optocouplers or optoisolators.

Use

Optocouplers are electronic devices that provide electrical isolation between input and output circuits. They are commonly used to transfer signals between two circuits while keeping them electrically isolated, thus preventing any potential damage caused by voltage spikes, noise, or ground loops.

Characteristics

• Optocouplers consist of an LED (light-emitting diode) as the input side and a phototransistor or photodiode as the output side.
• They offer high-speed signal transmission and can operate at high frequencies.
• Optocouplers provide excellent noise immunity and isolation from electrical disturbances.
• They have low power consumption and are compact in size.
