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 ...

There is a common misconception that optocouplers will always fail with an “open” circuit when a high-voltage event breaks the device. Although there are many ways that an optocoupler can fail open, ...

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 ...

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 ...
