Optocoupler with Phototransistor Output
Description
The CNY21N consists of a phototransistor optically
coupled to a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode in
a 4-lead plastic dual inline package.
The single components are mounted on one leadframe in
the opposite position, providing a fixed distance between
input and output for highest safety requirements of
> 3 mm.
