Description
ACPL-0820 is a high current dual line-driver IC. With a 5 V
single supply, it delivers up to 1.5 A
PP
current. This is ideal
for high current dierential mode applications such as a
Powerline modem.
ACPL-0820 is internally protected against over-tempera-
ture conditions through thermal shutdown and this status
is reported by the Status pin. Over-load condition is sensed
by internal detection circuitry and is also reported by the
Status pin. In addition, with the transmit enable (Tx-en) in-
put, the line-driver output stage can be disabled to reduce
power dissipation when not operating.
ACPL-0820 is designated for operation over extended tem-
perature range from -40°C to +85°C. ACPL-0820 is available
in SO-8 package.
Applications
• Automatic meter reading (AMR)
• Powerline modem
• General purpose line driver
• Signal conditioning
• Digital-to-analog converter buers
