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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
