Date Published March 2008 NS

HIGH CMR, 15 Mbps OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT TYPE

8-PIN SSOP (SO-8)

3.3 V HIGH-SPEED PHOTOCOUPLER −NEPOC Series−

DESCRIPTION

The PS9821-1 and PS9821-2 are active-low type high-speed photocouplers that use a GaAlAs light-emitting diode

on the input side and a photodetector IC that includes a photodiode and a signal processor on the same chip on the

output side.

The PS9821-1, -2 are designed specifically for high common mode transient immunity (CMR) and low pulse width

distortion, PS9821-2 is suitable for high density applications.

FEATURES

• Low power consumption (VCC = 3.3 V)

• Pulse width distortion (⏐tPHL−tPLH⏐ = 35 ns MAX.)

electricity when handling.

2. By-pass capacitor of 0.1

F is used between VCC and GND near device. Also, ensure that the distance

between the leads of the photocoupler and capacitor is no more than 10 mm.

3. Avoid storage at a high temperature and high humidity.

PS9821-1,-2

(4) Cautions

• Fluxes

Avoid removing the residual flux with freon-based and chlorine-based cleaning solvent.

2. Cautions regarding noise

Be aware that when voltage is applied suddenly between the photocoupler’s input and output or between

collector-emitters at startup, the output transistor may enter the on state, even if the voltage is within the absolute

maximum ratings.

USAGE CAUTIONS

1. Protect against static electricity when handling.

2. Avoid storage at a high temperature and high humidity.
