That looks fine.



FOD817 has 50-150% current transfer ratio (

So, with 3mA in you can expect at-least 1.5mA out, with the output being 10K and 12V that means the output will be saturated, and thus sutable for driving CMOS logic.


When I tried casting out nines I made a hash of it.

Thank you - that is exactly the level of reply that is most helpful.
