SO-8-packaged device saves up to 40% space over two single-channel parts The PS9821 10-Mbit/s optocoupler is presented as the first such device to offer dual 3.3-/5.0-V operation from an 8-pin SO-8 ...

In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...

Optocouplers are used extensively for high-voltage isolation and electrical noise rejection – two essential requirements for transmitting correct information between different voltage potentials ...

The optocoupler continues to evolve to meet increasingly stringent requirements emerging from power-conversion apps, where safety is a top design driver. This week's PowerBites focuses on some recent ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hybrid-electric vehicles must operate reliably under harsh conditions that demand special qualities on the part of power-conditioning electronics. Consider the electrical system for a hybrid-electric ...
