TIL192
TIL192 Dual-Channel Optocoupler Technical Summary
Overview
The TIL192 is a dual-channel optocoupler device that provides electrical isolation between input and output circuits through optical coupling. Each channel consists of a gallium-arsenide (GaAs) infrared light-emitting diode (LED) coupled with a silicon npn phototransistor in a single 8-pin package. This configuration allows for signal transmission while maintaining complete electrical isolation between circuits, making it ideal for applications requiring noise immunity and safety isolation.
The TIL192 is part of a series that includes single-channel (TIL191) and quad-channel (TIL193) variants, providing design flexibility for different application requirements. The device is available in standard and selected current-transfer ratio (CTR) versions, with the standard version tested for 20% minimum CTR, while A and B suffix versions offer 50% and 100% minimum CTR respectively.
