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 ...

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 ...

VMI’s new High Voltage Optocoupler design allows for low voltage LED control of a high voltage diode. In a convenient surface mount package, VMI has minimized the size of an optocoupler with up to ...

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, ...

Designers of switch-mode power supplies generally put a lot of care into selecting the placement of poles/zeros of the supply transfer function to ensure stable operation. However, many such designs ...

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 ...
