Overview

The SFH6916 is a quad-channel optocoupler featuring GaAs infrared emitting diodes optically coupled to silicon NPN phototransistor detectors. Designed for high-density applications, it provides four independent isolation channels in a compact 16-pin SOP package with a 3750Vrms isolation rating.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a high 70V output voltage and low saturation voltage of 400mV, ensuring efficient switching in diverse circuit environments. Its quad-channel configuration in a 4.40mm width SSOP package significantly reduces PCB real estate compared to using multiple single-channel optocouplers.

Applications

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
Isolating digital input and output modules in industrial automation systems to protect sensitive logic from field-side transients.
Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Feedback
Providing the necessary galvanic isolation in voltage regulation feedback loops while maintaining a compact footprint.
Telecommunications Equipment
Used for signal isolation in line interfaces and PBX systems where multiple channels must be isolated simultaneously.
Microprocessor System Interfaces
Safe interfacing between low-voltage microcontrollers and high-voltage peripherals or noisy industrial bus systems.

Getting Started

When integrating the SFH6916, ensure the input current (If) is sized to meet the desired Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) for your load. Use decoupling capacitors on the collector side of the transistors and maintain proper creepage and clearance distances under the 16-SOP package to preserve the 3750Vrms isolation integrity.
