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 ...

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 ...

WIXOM -- The Wixom manufacturing electronics manufacturer Acromag has released new BusWorks XT Series multi-channel optocouplers and interposing relay modules that connect discrete field devices to ...

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 ...

Galvanic isolation is common in industrial and automotive systems as a means of protecting against high voltages or to counteract ground potential differences. Designers traditionally used ...

This white paper discusses the use of hermetic optocouplers in military and space electronics applications. The use of hermetic optocouplers provide a highly reliable result compared to its plastic ...
