This optocoupler is suited for driving power bipolar transistors and power Darlington devices used in motor control inverter applica- tions. The high peak and steady state current capabilities of the output stage allow for direct interfacing to the power device without the need for an interme- diate amplifier stage. With a CMR rating of 1.5 kV/µs this optocoup- ler readily rejects transients found in inverter applications. The LED controls the state of the output stage. Transistor Q2 in the output stage is on with the LED off, allowing the base of the power device to be held low. Turning on the LED turns off transistor Q2 and switches on transistor Q1 in the output stage which provides current to drive the base of a power bipolar device.
