What’s an Optoisolator?

An optoisolator uses light to send signals between circuit parts, preventing voltage spikes and reducing noise. There are two types: digital and analog. Optocouplers are for systems with 5,000-50,000 volts, while optical isolators are for less than 5,000 volts. Humidity and air pollution can damage optocouplers. An optoisolator is an electronic device that uses light […]
