Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. VSH is leaving no stone unturned to expand its discrete offerings to bolster its presence in the booming semiconductor industry. The unveiling of the linear optocoupler ...

In high-voltage power-supply designs, safety concerns require isolating the high-voltage input from the low-voltage output. Designers typically use magnetic isolation in a transformer for power ...

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, ...

An optocoupler driver IC for isolated power supplies requirING tight regulation, the LT4430 offers fast transient response and overshoot protection. The overshoot control circuit provides independent ...

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 ...

There’s a part you’ll find in almost every mains powered switch mode power supply that might at first appear to have only one application. An optocoupler sits between the low voltage and the high ...
