RoHS 6 fully compliant options available;
-xxxE denotes a lead-free product
Description
This family of devices consists of a GaAsP LED. The LED
is optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power
stage. These optocouplers are ideally suited for high
frequency driving of power IGBTs and MOSFETs used in
Plasma Display Panels, high performance DC/DC convert-
ers, and motor control inverter applications.
