Low Input Current, Phototransistor Output, SOP-4,
Mini-Flat Package
DESCRIPTION
The 110 °C rated VOM618A 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 with low input current, low coupling
capacitance, and high isolation voltage.
These coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
FEATURES
• Operating temperature from - 55 °C to + 110 °C
• SOP-4 mini-flat package
• CTR range 40 % to 600 %, IF = 1 mA
• Isolation test voltage, 3750 VRMS
• Low saturation voltage
• Fast switching times
• Low coupling capacitance
• End-stackable, 0.100" (2.54 mm) spacing
• Material categorization: For definitions of compliance
please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912
