Contact SupplierOptocoupler Integrated Circuits (ICs)
In electronics, an Optocoupler is a component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. Opto-isolators prevent high voltages from affecting the system receiving the signal. Commercially available opto-isolators withstand input-to-output voltages up to 10 kV and voltage transients with speeds up to 10 kV/μs.Â
A common type of opto-isolator consists of an LED and a phototransistor in the same package. Opto-isolators are usually used for transmission of digital (on/off) signals, but some techniques allow use with analog (proportional) signals.
