Furnishing a maximum working insulation voltage of 1414 V and peak output current of 2.5 A, the FOD8332 optocoupler from Fairchild Semiconductor can directly drive medium-power IGBTs with ratings up ...

Ludwig Zeller is a science-fiction author, except instead of words, his medium is product design. His latest creation, the “Optocoupler,” is a kind of miniature digital spa for future-frazzled brains.

Dusseldorf, Germany: The PS9402 insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) drive optocoupler from Renesas Electronics integrates IGBT protection. It comprises a gallium-aluminium-arsenide (GaAlAs) LED ...

The ACNW261L low power CMOS/AlGaAs digital optocoupler features a propagation delay time of 46 ns typical and 90 ns maximum while taking a maximum of 1.5 mA IDD and a forward current of 1.6 to 4 mA.

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 ...
