Description
The HCPL-4506 and HCPL-0466 contain a GaAsP LED while the HCNW4506 contains an AlGaAs LED. The LED is optically coupled to an integrated high gain photo detector. Minimized propaThe connection of a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between pins 5 and 8 is recommended. gation delay difference between devices make these optocouplers excellent solutions for improving inverter efficiency through reduced switching dead time.
