SFH620A Description

The SFH620A  (DIP) features a high current transfer ratio, low coupling capacitance and high isolation voltage. These couplers have a  GaAs infrared diode emitter, which is optically coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor detector and is incorporated in a plastic DIP-4 or SMD package.
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission between two electrically separated circuits. The couplers are end-stackable with 2.54  mm lead spacingCreepage and clearance distances of > 8  mm are achieved with option 6. This version complies with IEC 6  0950  (DIN VDE 0805  ) for reinforced insulation to an operation the voltage of 4  00 VRMS or DC.

SFH620A Feature

• Good CTR linearity depending on forward current
• Isolation test voltage, 5300  VRMS   
• High collector-emitter voltage, VCEO = 70 V
• Low saturation voltage
• Fast switching times
• Low CTR degradation
• Temperature stable
• Low coupling capacitance
• End-stackable, 0.100" (2.54 mm) spacing
• High common-mode interference immunity

SFH620A Application

  • AC/DC Switching Circuits

SFH620A Schematic

The schematic given below is a switching circuit using SFH620A Optocoupler.

SFH620A Schematic

The input is applied to the LEDs, which are the initial portion of the optocoupler. To limit the current through the LEDs, a resistor is connected in series with them. The phototransistor gain is controlled by the intensity of the infrared light emitted by them, which is controlled by the current. The higher the phototransistor gain, the lower the limiting resistance value. The phototransistor component receives the load. This is where the swapping begins.

If the phototransistor detects enough infrared energy to turn it, electricity will flow from the emitter to the collector. However, because the phototransistor is linked to a pull-up resistor, the output state will be low, i.e. 5 volts will be stepped down to 0 and an LED attached as a load will not glow. If the phototransistor detects no radiation, it conducts no current and the output state is high. Let's imagine there's an LED attached to the output state, which will light up.
