Opto 5 Click Board

Overview

The Opto 5 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that provides uncomplicated safety isolation from the high voltage. This board features the FOD4216, a random phase snubber-less Triac driver from ON Semiconductor. The FOD4216 consists of an infrared emitting diode coupled to a hybrid random phase triac formed with two inverse parallel SCRs, which creates the triac function capable of driving discrete triacs. It utilizes a high efficiency infrared emitting diode that offers an improved trigger sensitivity. This Click Board™ is suitable for applications like high voltage AC switching where there is a need to protect and electrically isolate two circuits in a switching application.

The Opto 5 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
