LTV-846

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The LTV-846 is a four-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Lite-On Inc. It features a wide lead spacing DIP16 package designed for through-hole mounting. The device provides an isolation voltage of 5000Vrms between input and output circuits. Key electrical parameters include a minimum current transfer ratio of 50% and a maximum of 600% at a forward current of 5mA. The typical rise and fall times are specified, with turn-on and turn-off times noted at 4µs. The output can withstand a maximum off-state voltage of 6V, while the collector-emitter saturation voltage and max collector current define the switching limits.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Four independent channels integrated into a single package for multi-signal isolation
• High isolation voltage capability ensuring safe separation of circuit grounds
• Wide lead spacing package design facilitating automated assembly and manual placement

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring multi-channel signal isolation
• Data communication interfaces needing galvanic separation
• Power supply feedback loops for safety compliance

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications if applicable. Ensure the supplier provides official Lite-On documentation to validate the current transfer ratio and isolation ratings. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Confirm that the DIP16 footprint matches your PCB layout constraints before finalizing the purchase order.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple isolated signals must be transmitted simultaneously within a confined space. The high current transfer ratio range supports various LED drive currents. Consider the 5000Vrms isolation rating for applications involving high potential differences. The transistor output type is suitable for digital logic interfacing rather than linear analog transmission.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

The LTV-846 belongs to the LTV-8X6 series of photocouplers from Lite-On Technology Corporation. This series includes various channel configurations such as dual and quad options. The LTV-846 specifically addresses the need for four-channel isolation in standard DIP packages. It complements other devices like the LTV-816 and LTV-826 which offer different channel counts or pinouts.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other quad-channel transistor output optocouplers from Lite-On such as the LTV-847 if pin compatibility allows. Cross-brand replacements require verification of isolation voltage, CTR, and package dimensions. Always consult the latest datasheets to ensure functional equivalence before swapping components.
