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 ...

The ACPL-5160 is a commercial grade hermetically sealed optocoupler in a 16-Pin ceramic DIP package with gold plated leads. Solder dipped leads and various lead form options are also available. See ...

For sake of efficiency, LEDs in optocouplers generally are designed to carry as little current as possible. The result: A rather tricky stability problem. Designers of switch-mode power supplies ...

This white paper discusses the use of hermetic optocouplers in military and space electronics applications. The use of hermetic optocouplers provide a highly reliable result compared to its plastic ...

Utilizing the photo-sensitive nature of silicon, VMI has created a line of hermetically sealed, high voltage optocouplers and opto-diodes in versions that can be assembled in series configuration for ...
