Applications
• Monitoring of the AC/DC “line-down” condition
• “Closed-loop” interface between electromechanical
elements such as solenoids, relay contacts, small
motors, and microprocessors
• Time delay isolation switch
Description
The MID400 is an optically isolated AC line-to-logic inter-
face device. It is packaged in an 8-lead plastic DIP. The
AC line voltage is monitored by two back-to-back GaAs
LED diodes in series with an external resistor. A high
gain detector circuit senses the LED current and drives
the output gate to a logic low condition.
The MID400 has been designed solely for the use as an
AC line monitor. It is recommended for use in any AC-to-
DC control application where excellent optical iso- lation,
solid state reliability, TTL compatibility, small size, low
power, and low frequency operations are required.
