DESCRIPTION
The MCT6 is a two channel optocoupler for high density
applications. Each channel consists of an optically coupled
pair with a gallium arsenide infrared LED and a silicon NPN
phototransistor. 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 MCT6 is especially designed for driving medium-speed
logic, where it may be used to eliminate troublesome ground
loop and noise problems. It can also be used to replace
relays and transformers in many digital interface
applications, as well as analog applications such as CRT
modulation.
