Input and Output Characteristics

This section describes the electrical characteristics of the SCP's input and output sections, as well as the operation of the input debounce timers. Figure 4 shows a simplified schematic of one VT1536A channel.

Input Characteristics The input section drives an opto-isolator through a resistor threshold setting network. Your system must provide at least 1 mA of current to drive the opto-isolator. The threshold setting network controls this drive current for various input voltages ranging from 5 to 48 Volts (see Table 1 on page 5). Your input voltage must be polarized positive to the Hnn terminal, and negative to the Lnn terminal.

Output Characteristics The opto-isolated output provides a Solid-State relay and relay protection voltage clamping diode. The solid state relay is non-polarized. The voltage clamping diode limits voltage at the relay output to 80 VPEAK (begins to conduct at about 60 VPEAK). The SS relay's on-resistance is 10 Ω, off-resistance is at least 1010Ω. The relay's turn-on time is 3 milliseconds.
