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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
