CPC1008NTR
Overview
The CPC1008NTR is a small, 4-pin SOP, normally open (1-Form-A) solid state relay from IXYS Integrated Circuits. It utilizes optically coupled MOSFET technology to provide 1500Vrms of input-to-output isolation while handling load voltages up to 100V. This device is specifically designed to provide a compact, bounce-free alternative to electromechanical relays in low-current switching applications.
Why Choose This Part
The CPC1008NTR offers a low drive current requirement of only 2mA, making it compatible with standard CMOS logic levels. Its solid state design eliminates the contact bounce and EMI associated with mechanical relays, significantly increasing reliability in high-cycle applications. The extremely small 4-pin SOP package saves significant board space compared to traditional DIP or reed relays.
Applications
Getting Started
When designing with the CPC1008NTR, ensure the input LED current is limited by a series resistor to meet the recommended 2mA to 5mA operating range. For rapid prototyping, this component can be mounted on a standard SOP-4 to DIP adapter for use with breadboards or evaluation headers. Engineers should consult the datasheet for thermal derating curves if operating the device near its 150mA maximum load current in high-temperature environments.
