EL2601

Logic Output Optoisolators Overview

The EL2601 is a high-speed logic output optocoupler featuring an infrared emitting diode optically coupled to an integrated photo detector logic gate with a strobable output. It operates at data rates up to 10 Mbps and provides a minimum common mode transient immunity of 5 kV/µs. The device offers an isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms between input and output. It is available in 8-pin DIP packages with wide-lead spacing and SMD options, ensuring reliable performance across temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

Logic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant required, as the EL2601 family includes standard DIP and surface mount options. Confirm that the selected part meets the necessary isolation voltage ratings for your circuit design. Ensure compatibility with the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Check for compliance with relevant safety approvals such as UL, VDE, and CSA if required for your application.

Logic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select the EL2601 when high-speed digital isolation is critical for system integrity. Consider the strobable output feature if noise immunity during specific time windows is required. Evaluate the 5000 Vrms isolation rating against the voltage stress in your application. Compare with similar models like the EL2611 if higher transient immunity is needed.
