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 ...
An optocoupler is a combination of a light source and a photosensitive detector. In the optocoupler, or photon coupled pair, the coupling is achieved by light being generated on one side of a ...
Dusseldorf, Germany: The PS9402 insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) drive optocoupler from Renesas Electronics integrates IGBT protection. It comprises a gallium-aluminium-arsenide (GaAlAs) LED ...
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 ...
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 ...
