When it comes to isolating your microcontroller’s sensitive little pins from high voltages, ground loops, or general noise, nothing beats an optocoupler. And while simple on-off control of a ...

Optocouplers, also known as opto-isolators, are components that transfer electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using infrared light. As an isolator, an optocoupler can prevent high ...

She added that while they can facilitate the safe transfer of signals and data from the input stage in a power supply and its output terminals or load, the optocoupler is no longer cutting it as ...

The unveiling of the linear optocoupler VOA300 is a testament to the same. VOA300 is an automotive-grade device offering an industry-high isolation voltage of 5300 Vrms. Additionally, VOA300 ...

When you are designing an isolated feedback network, you must consider the tolerance of the optocoupler and all other components that determine the large signal gain. Neglecting this task could easily ...

Looking to provide more reliable isolation and immunity to emi in industrial communication designs, Fairchild has launched the FOD8012, a full duplex bidirectional logic gate optocoupler. It supports ...

An optically isolated sigma-delta modulator, the Avago ACPL-C799 from Broadcom, claims to convert an analogue input signal into a high-speed data stream with galvanic isolation. It features a low ...

Dusseldorf, Germany: When a fault (short circuit) occurs in an IGBT connected to a optocoupler, the collector-emitter voltage of the IGBT rises and may damage the device. To that end, Renesas ...

Southwest Research Institute has developed a high-reliability, high-voltage optocoupler for spaceflight applications. NASA has selected the device as a power interface between the Europa Clipper ...
