The maximum voltage that can be applied to the LED is 5V, but it's recommended to keep it below 4V to ensure reliable operation.
The current limiting resistor (R1) should be chosen based on the desired LED current, which is typically between 5-10mA. Use the formula R1 = (Vcc - 1.2V) / I_LED, where Vcc is the supply voltage and I_LED is the desired LED current.
The minimum input current required to trigger the output is typically around 1-2mA, but this can vary depending on the specific application and noise conditions.
To ensure reliable operation at high temperatures, make sure to follow the recommended operating conditions, including derating the current and voltage ratings. Also, consider using a heat sink or thermal pad to dissipate heat.
The MOC3010 is not suitable for high-frequency applications (>1MHz) due to its limited bandwidth. For high-frequency applications, consider using a faster optocoupler like the MOC3020 or MOC3041.
