This document gives focus on optocouplers including its basic principles, operation, and common applications. Suggested techniques in order to maximize the device’s efficiency are included. Cases ...

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 ...

Standex-Meder Electronics announces its new ATEX optocoupler for intrinsically safe circuits. Standex-Meder Electronics announces its new ATEX optocoupler for intrinsically safe circuits. The ...

Dusseldorf, Germany: The PS9402 insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) drive optocoupler from Renesas Electronics integrates IGBT protection. It comprises a gallium-aluminium-arsenide (GaAlAs) LED ...

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 ...

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 ...
