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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
