Description

The MID400 is an optically isolated AC line−to−logic interface

device. It is packaged in an 8−lead plastic DIP. The AC line voltage is

monitored by two back−to−back GaAs LED diodes in series with an

external resistor. A high gain detector circuit senses the LED current

and drives the output gate to a logic low condition.

The MID400 has been designed solely for the use as an AC line

monitor. It is recommended for use in any AC−to−DC control

application where excellent optical isolation, solid state reliability,

TTL compatibility, small size, low power, and low frequency

operations are required.
