Optocouplers are used extensively for high-voltage isolation and electrical noise rejection – two essential requirements for transmitting correct information between different voltage potentials ...

Isolation components such as optocouplers that are used in applications that have user safety issues as a key aspect must not fail under continuous high-working-voltage bias conditions. Safety hazards ...

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 ...

Optocouplers are devices that transfer electrical signals via light waves. They're appropriate for discrete-motion applications in industrial environments. Through light waves, optocouplers transfer ...

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 ...

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 ...
