Additional Details

The HCPL-4514V consists of an AlGaAs LED and a photodiode detector. The LED emits light proportional to the input current, which is then detected by the photodiode. The output current of the photodiode is proportional to the input current of the LED, providing a linear transfer characteristic. The optocoupler is housed in an 8-pin DIP package and is RoHS compliant. The isolation voltage is typically 5000 Vrms. Key electrical specifications include a current transfer ratio (CTR) linearity of typically 0.01% and a bandwidth of several MHz. It is designed to meet stringent safety standards for medical and industrial applications.
