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 ...

The ACPL-P340/ACPL-W340 gate drive optocoupler contains an AlGaAs LED, which is optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. This gate drive optocoupler is ideally suited for ...

Factories have noisy environments that can make transmitting data over long distances a nightmare —- unless the noise can be eliminated at the receiver. High-speed optocouplers that can handle data ...

Optocouplers provide high-voltage isolation between a low-voltage device like a microcontroller or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator and a high-voltage device like an intelligent or integrated ...

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 ...
