Product Overview
The Broadcom HCPL-817 is a phototransistor optocoupler designed for reliable signal transmission between circuits of different potentials and impedances. It features high input-output isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms and a compact dual-inline package, making it suitable for high-density mounting. With a typical response time of 4 s and a minimum Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) of 50% at 5 mA input current, it is an ideal solution for I/O interfaces in computers and feedback circuits in power supplies. The HCPL-817 is available in various package options, including wide-lead spacing and surface-mount configurations, and holds multiple safety approvals.
