Working Principles

HCPL-7520-060 consists of an infrared LED (input) and a photodetector (output) separated by an optically transparent barrier. When an electrical signal is applied to the input side, the LED emits light that is then detected by the photodetector on the output side. This optical coupling provides electrical isolation while allowing the transfer of signals.
