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 ...

LONDON — STMicroelectronics said it expects to begin manufacturing optocouplers within six months based on its previously announced light-emitting silicon technology. The company said at a seminar ...

The ACPL-P340/ACPL-W340 gate drive optocoupler contains an AlGaAs LED, which is optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. This gate drive optocoupler is ideally suited for ...

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 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 ...
