TLP521-1 Optocoupler DIP-4

From the shop's description

Features: The TLP521-1consists of a photo-transistor optically coupled to a gallium arsenide infrared emitter diode. This device can be used for applications where galvanic isolation is necessary, like Switch Mode Power Supply, relay driver board, etc. The TLP521 is an optocoupler that has a photo-transistor that is controlled based on light (photon). And on the opposite side, it has an IR (infrared) LED. When the IR LED is powered, the light from the LED is collected by the receiver of the transistor and it conducts. This IC is used to provide electrical isolation between two circuits, one part of the circuit is connected to the IR LED and the other to Photo-transistor. The digital signal given to the IR LED will be reflected on the transistor but there will be no electrical connection between the LED and the transistor. This comes in very handy when you are trying to isolate a noisy signal from your digital electronics, so if you are looking for an IC to provide optical isolation in your circuit design, then this IC might be the right choice for you.
