Product Description

Product Overview

This document provides a detailed example calculation for determining the appropriate load resistance (RL) for the RPI-221, a component likely used in photointerrupter applications. The calculation considers customer circuit parameters, forward current (IF), minimum collector current (IC), and the impact of aging on infrared LED light emitting capacity. The objective is to ensure the load resistor satisfies specific threshold voltage requirements (VHi and VLo) within the customer's circuit, thereby defining a suitable operating range for the load resistance.
