An optocoupler (or optoisolator) is a device that galvanically separates circuits and is not only great at isolation but allows you to interface to circuits with different ground planes or that ...

An optocoupler-isolated power supply is often the safest and most practical way to go when it comes to performance and protection. Here's the basics on today's LED/photodetector isolators and what you ...

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 ...

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 ...
