Technical Description and Precautions
Technical descriptions of features, specifications, structure, and characteristics of photocouplers/optocouplers.
Photocouplers/Optocouplers
Explanation of Specifications
General specifications for various usage environments including absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics are available.
How Photocouplers Are Used
Photocouplers are mainly used as a switching device to transfer pulse signals and to transfer feedback error signals in analog switching regulators.
Noise Phenomena
Since a photocoupler operates without any circuit connection to the base of a phototransistor, two typical types of noise phenomena are sometimes generated.
CTR/Response Time
Learn about the current transfer ratio (CTR) characteristics and response time of photocouplers/optocouplers.
AC Input Capable Photocouplers
Learn how an AC input capable photocoupler enables the input of an AC current using two LEDs connected back-to-back on the input side.
Photocouplers vs. OCMOS FETS
Both photocouplers/optocouplers and optical-coupled MOSFET (SSRs) transmit signals while remaining electrically isolated, learn the differences between these devices.
Solid State Relays (OCMOS FETs)
Specifications
General specifications for various usage environments including absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics are available for Renesas OCMOS FETs.
Structure and Features
An optical-coupled MOSFET is a full solid state relay that consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) for the input side and MOSFETs for the contact point.
Operating Models
There are two types of optical-coupled MOSFETs, the "make" type (normally open) and "break" type (normally closed).
Precautions for Correct Usage of Optoelectronics
Precautions for Correct Usage
