DESCRIPTION
The IL255 is a bidirectional input optically coupled isolator consisting of two high current Gallium Arsenide infrared LEDs coupled to a
silicon NPN phototransistor. The IL255 has a
minimum CTR of 20%
This optocoupler is ideal for applications requiring AC signal detection and monitoring.
