Description
The MCT5210M and MCT5211M devices consist of a
high-efficiency AlGaAs infrared emitting diode coupled
with an NPN phototransistor in a six-pin dual-in-line
package.
The devices are well suited for CMOS to LSTT/TTL inter-
faces, offering 250% CTR
CE(SAT)
with 1 mA of LED input
current. With an LED input current of 1.6 mA, data rates
to 20K bits/s are possible.
Both can easily interface LSTTL to LSTTL/TTL, and with
use of an external base-to-emitter resistor data rates of
100K bits/s can be achieved.
