Simple, (mostly) reliable, and based on decades-old technologies, we often take the optocoupler for granted, despite the vital roles it plays in many power applications. But we ignore these devices at ...

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 ...

The ACPL-P340/ACPL-W340 gate drive optocoupler contains an AlGaAs LED, which is optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. This gate drive optocoupler is ideally suited for ...

Factories have noisy environments that can make transmitting data over long distances a nightmare —- unless the noise can be eliminated at the receiver. High-speed optocouplers that can handle data ...

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 ...
