Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...
This simple scheme is based on the circuit shown below (Figure 1) in my recent article [1]. Figure 1 Using common transistor optocoupler to achieve a tube-like sound. It is known that the main feature ...
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 ...
Southwest Research Institute has developed a high-reliability, high-voltage optocoupler for spaceflight applications. NASA has selected the device as a power interface between the Europa Clipper ...
The importance of signal isolation in high-voltage design The difference between optocouplers and opto-emulators Details on TI’s silicon dioxide (SiO 2) isolation technology Isolation is invaluable in ...
Optocoupler biasing is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of isolated SMPS design. Ensuring proper biasing of both the LED and phototransistor sides of the optocoupler is essential for maintaining ...
MALVERN, Pa., Nov. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced the industry’s first AEC-Q102 qualified linear optocoupler. Offering industry-high isolation ...
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 ...
