ACPL-K370, ACPL-K376
Isolated Voltage/Current Detector
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The ACPL-K370 and ACPL-K376 are voltage/current ꢀꢁꢁ 5% voltage detection accuracy
threshold detection optocouplers. The ACPL-K376 is a low-
current version of the ACPL-K370. To obtain lower current
operation, the ACPL-K376 uses a high-efficiency AlGaAs
ꢀꢁꢁ Wide AC or DC detection range: up to 1140 Vpeak
ꢀꢁꢁ User configurable single/dual detection levels
LED which has higher light output at lower drive currents. ꢀꢁꢁ Built-in hysteresis improves noise immunity
Both devices have a threshold sensing input buffer IC
that allows threshold levels to be set by a single external
resistor over a wide range of input voltages.
ꢀꢁꢁ Very low threshold current: 1.32 mA (ACPL-K376)
ꢀꢁꢁ Logic compatible output
ꢀꢁꢁ Wide output supply voltage: 2 V to 18 V
The input buffer has several performance enhancing
ꢀꢁꢁ –40°C to +105°C operating temperature range
ꢀꢁꢁ SSO-8 package with 8 mm creepage and clearance
ꢀꢁꢁ Safety and regulatory approval:
features: hysteresis for extra noise immunity and
switching immunity, a diode bridge for easy use with AC
input signals, and internal clamping diodes to protect the
buffer and LED from over-voltage and over-current tran-
sients. Because threshold sensing is done prior to driving
the LED, variations in optical coupling from the LED to the
detector will not effect the threshold levels.
