It seems deceptively simple to establish galvanic isolation with the help of optocouplers between circuits that operate at different ground potentials. Optocouplers draw power from the isolated ...

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 ...

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 ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

Hybrid-electric vehicles must operate reliably under harsh conditions that demand special qualities on the part of power-conditioning electronics. Consider the electrical system for a hybrid-electric ...

For the first time, researchers of the University of Twente (UT) succeeded in connecting two parts of an electronics chip using an on-chip optical link. A light connection can, for example, be a safe ...
