Hi Guys
I am having some trouble understanding Current Transfer Ratio for optocouplers.
I have a simple application where I activate a single channel transistor-output optocoupler.
I provide the LED side of the opto with, say, 10mA and that enables to transistor for the outside user to detect that I have changed state.
Looking at the VOS671A from Vishay,
I can get the VOS617A-2X001T part and the VOS617A-X001T for the same price.
The one comes from the 50-600 CTR bin and the other from the 63-125 CTR bin.
How do I know which is the best for not only my use, but also versatile for future projects?
Thank you!
