HCPL-0700 Overview
Description
The HCPL-0700 and HCPL-0701 optocouplers consist of an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to a high gain split darlington photodetector housed in a compact 8-pin small outline package. The split darlington configuration separating the input photodiode and the first stage gain from the output transistor permits lower output saturation voltage and higher speed operation than possible with conventional darlington phototransistor optocoupler.
