An optocoupler-isolated power supply is often the safest and most practical way to go when it comes to performance and protection. Here's the basics on today's LED/photodetector isolators and what you ...
The junior system designer often places the system's power requirements at the end of the list, and thus overlooks the importance of an isolated, versus non-isolated AC/AC, AC/DC, DC/AC, or DC/DC ...
An optocoupler is a combination of a light source and a photosensitive detector. In the optocoupler, or photon coupled pair, the coupling is achieved by light being generated on one side of a ...
This is the new version of my initial doorbell project. The main goal is to determine if the doorbell was pressed and perform some actions based on it. I could have made a version 2.0 of the initial ...
A BGA-packaged optocoupler from Fairchild Semiconductor offers the smallest form factor for a safety-rated device of this type. The FODB100 Microcoupler, a single-channel optocoupler with a transistor ...
Abstract: Optocoupler is applied to isolate the control loop to the main power stage, and transfer feedback signal in the negative feedback loop of SMPS. But due to surface deterioration and the ...
The high-speed optocoupler enhances digital integration, improves safety, and increases efficiency in various industrial applications. Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has launched a 25 MBd high-speed ...
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 ...
