This simple scheme is based on the circuit shown below (Figure 1) in my recent article [1]. Figure 1 Using common transistor optocoupler to achieve a tube-like sound. It is known that the main feature ...

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 ...

Teledyne Micropac is proud to announce the launch of the TDOC8012-04CC0, a cutting-edge 12 kV isolation optocoupler designed to meet the rigorous demands of aerospace, defense, and industrial ...

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 ...

Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...

Optocoupler biasing is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of isolated SMPS design. Ensuring proper biasing of both the LED and phototransistor sides of the optocoupler is essential for maintaining ...

The importance of signal isolation in high-voltage design The difference between optocouplers and opto-emulators Details on TI’s silicon dioxide (SiO 2) isolation technology Isolation is invaluable in ...

Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...

In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...

WAGO Corporation’s DIN-rail mount 859-940 High-Speed Optocoupler features a frequency input range of up to 1.5MHz. Engineered by WAGO’s Custom Products Division, 859-940 provides jumper-selectable, ...
