Broadcom, ACPL-C79B-500E DC Input Optocoupler, Surface Mount, 8-Pin SO

The Broadcom optocoupler is an ACPL-C79B series precision miniature isolation amplifier. It is designed for current and voltage sensing in electronic power converters in applications including motor drives and renewable energy systems. In a typical motor drive implementation, current flows through an external resistor and the resulting analogue voltage drop are sensed by the isolation amplifier. A differential output voltage that is proportional to the current is created on the other side of the optical isolation barrier.
