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

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 ...

Researchers at STMicroelectronics have developed a silicon-based light-emitting device for optocouplers and similar applications. While the low light level that basic silicon can emit isn't very ...

This white paper discusses about the use of high performance LEDs for Automotive Grade Optocouplers. The use of high performance LEDs proves that an optocoupler can handle automotive grade 1 ...

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 ...
