CEO for MCA2255.
The MCA2230, MCA2231 and MCA2255 are photodarlington optically coupled
isolators consisting of an infrared emitting diode with a silicon
photodarlington transistor. Surface Mount Option Available.
All electrical parameters are 100% tested by manufacturing. Specifications
are guaranteed to a cumulative 0.65% AQL.
