Today we're talking about, NVE's award-winning passive-input, drop-in opto-isolator replacements.
Sandy, what's "passive input"?
Unlike CMOS input isolators, IL600s have a current-sensitive, resistive coil, like an
LED input, but without the voltage drop. The outputs also mirror LED optos with CMOS and
open-drain options. A variety of one, two, and three channel models are available to
upgrade from optos.
Well, I hate optos. Why are IL600s better?
We summarize the advantages with, four Bs:
Boxes—drop-in PDIPs or SOICs, plus unique ultra-miniature MSOPs;
Bounds—flexible inputs, CMOS or open-drain options;
Baud—higher speed and less pulse-width distortion;
and Bulletproof, with no LED to be damaged or
degrade with time.
The "four Bs." As you British say, "brilliant." Where can viewers get datasheets and samples?
