The TLP1037A is a high-withstanding-voltage photo-interrupter for digital output. The device combines a high-optical-output GaAs infrared LED with a high-sensitivity, high-gain Si photo-IC. The photo-IC, which supports a wide range of systems (3.3 V to 12 V), enables the device to consume less power than conventional devices. The device also features a narrow slit width and high resolution.

The device is housed in a deep-slot package.

• Deep-slot package (detection slot depth: 12 mm)

• Designed for direct mounting on printed circuit boards (positioning pins included)

• Gap: 5 mm

• Resolution: slit width 0.5 mm

• Digital output (open-collector, high-level output when no light is present)

• Direct connection to logic IC

• Power supply voltage: VCC = 2.7 V~15 V

• Switching time: tpLH = 15 µs (max)

• Detector impermeable to visible light

• Package material: Polybutylene-terephthalate (UL94V-0, black)
