<p>A photpcoupler includes: a light emitting element; a first photodiode array; a second photodiode array; a third photo diode array; an enhancement-mode MOSFET; a first depletion-mode MOSFET; and a second depletion mode MOSFET. The light emitting element converts the input electrical signal into the optical signal. A drain current of the enhancement-mode MOSFET is supplied to the external load when the optical signal is ON. A drain current of the first depletion-mode MOSFET is supplied to the external load when the optical signal is OFF and a voltage passing through the second depletion-mode MOSFET switched to the ON state is supplied to the gate of the first depletion-mode MOSFET. And the drain current of the first depletion-mode MOSFET is larger than a drain current of the first depletion-mode MOSFET when a gate voltage of the first depletion-mode MOSFET is zero.</p> |
