HIGH CMR, 15 Mbps OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT TYPE
8-PIN SSOP (SO-8)
3.3 V HIGH-SPEED PHOTOCOUPLER −NEPOC Series−
DESCRIPTION
The PS9821-1 and PS9821-2 are active-low type high-speed photocouplers that use a GaAlAs light-emitting diode
on the input side and a photodetector IC that includes a photodiode and a signal processor on the same chip on the
output side.
The PS9821-1, -2 are designed specifically for high common mode transient immunity (CMR) and low pulse width
distortion, PS9821-2 is suitable for high density applications.
FEATURES
• Low power consumption (VCC = 3.3 V)
• Pulse width distortion (⏐tPHL−tPLH⏐ = 35 ns MAX.)

USAGE CAUTIONS
1. This product is weak for static electricity by designed with high-speed integrated circuit so protect against static
electricity when handling.
2. By-pass capacitor of 0.1

Avoid removing the residual flux with freon-based and chlorine-based cleaning solvent.
2. Cautions regarding noise
Be aware that when voltage is applied suddenly between the photocoupler’s input and output or between
collector-emitters at startup, the output transistor may enter the on state, even if the voltage is within the absolute
maximum ratings.
USAGE CAUTIONS
1. Protect against static electricity when handling.
2. Avoid storage at a high temperature and high humidity.

or any other liability arising from the use of such products. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is
granted under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Electronics or others.
Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these
circuits, software and information in the design of a customer's equipment shall be done under the full
responsibility of the customer. NEC Electronics assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by
customers or third parties arising from the use of these circuits, software and information.
While NEC Electronics endeavors to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC Electronics products,
customers agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To
minimize risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC
Electronics products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment and anti-failure features.
NEC Electronics products are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special" and
"Specific".
The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer-
designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of an NEC
Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of
each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application.
The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC
Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications
not intended by NEC Electronics, they must contact an NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to
determine NEC Electronics' willingness to support a given application.
