DESCRIPTION
The IL256AT is an AC input phototransistor optocoupler. The
device consists of two infrared emitters connected in reverse
parallel and coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor
detector.
These circuit elements are constructed with a standard
SOIC-8 foot print.
The product is well suited for telecom applications such as
ring detection or off/on hook status, given its bidirectional
LED input and guaranteed current transfer ratio (CTR)
minimum of 20 % at I
F
= 10 mA.
APPLICATIONS
• Telecom applications ring detection
AGENCY APPROVALS
• UL1577, file no. E52744 system code Y
• CUL - file no. E52744, equivalent to CSA bulletin 5A
• DIN EN 60747-5-2 (VDE 0884) available with option 1

Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not implied
at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.
