Vishay Semiconductors
Automotive Fast Response Linear Optocoupler
for Voltage and Current Sensing

DESCRIPTION
The VOA300 linear optocoupler consists of an infrared
emitter irradiating an isolated feedback and an output PIN
photodiode in a bifurcated arrangement. The feedback
photodiode captures a percentage of the LEDs flux and
generates a control signal (IP1) that can be used to servo the
LED drive current. This technique compensates for the
LED’s non-linear, time, and temperature characteristics.

FEATURES
• AEC-Q102 qualified
• High gain linearity, ± 0.25 % typically
• Wide bandwidth, 1.4 MHz typically
• High gain stability, ± 0.005 %/°C typically
• High isolation voltage 5300 VRMS
• Material categorization:

Notes
• Minimum and maximum values were tested requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are the result of engineering
evaluation. Typical values are for information only and are not part of the testing requirements
(1) Bin sorting: K3 (transfer gain) is sorted into bins that are ± 6 %, as follows:
Bin D = 0.765 to 0.859
Bin E = 0.851 to 0.955
Bin F = 0.945 to 1.061
Bin G = 1.051 to 1.181
K3 = K2/K1. K3 is tested at IF = 10 mA, Vdet = -15 V
(2) Bin categories: All VOA300s are sorted into a K3 bin, indicated by an alpha character that is marked on the part. The bins range from “D”
through “G” as mentioned in (1) above
(3) Category options: for customers requiring a narrower selection of bins, the bins can be grouped together as follows:
VOA300-DEFG: order this part number to receive categories D, E, F, G only
VOA300-EF: order this part number to receive categories E, F only
VOA300-E: order this part number to receive category E only
