MPC3

The MPC3 is a Miniature Modulated Amplifier for direct PC-board mounting. It is a modulated LED photoelectric amplifier which utilizes custom CMOS integrated circuitry. It contains all the circuitry necessary to modulate nearly any Light-Emitting Diode (LED) and to amplify and demodulate the light received by a phototransistor. The outputs are conventional buffered complementary CMOS gates. The MPC3 is designed to work with the Banner SP100 series miniature modulated remote sensors. However it may be used with nearly any LED and phototransistor pair, as supplied by most major semiconductor manufacturers. The small size and low cost of the MPC3 permit its use in OEM equipment where conventional photoelectric controls are not justified or where non-modulated sensors are now being used.
