DESCRIPTION • FIMKO
The CNY17 is an optically coupled pair consisting of a • CQC
gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode optically coupled to
a silicon NPN phototransitor.
Signal information, including a DC level, can be transmitted
by the device while maintaining a high degree of electrical
isolation between input and output.
The CNY17 can be used to replace relays and transformers
in many digital interface applications, as well as analog
applications such as CRT modulation.
