The photoelectric coupler is a kind of electric-optical-electric conversion device which transmits electrical signals with light as the medium. It consists of two parts: the luminous source and the light receiver. The luminous source and the light receiver are assembled in the same closed shell and separated from each other by transparent insulators.The pin of the light source is the input end, the pin of the light receiver is the output end, the common light source is the light emitting diode, the light receiver is the photosensitive diode, photosensitive triode and so on.
Transistor output optocoupler is the most common type of optocoupler. The input is either DC or AC signal control, and the output are both transistor (single or Darlington - with a higher current transfer ratio). This type of optocoupler is widely used in various applications due to its low price and versatility. The transistor output optocoupler is characterized by high current transfer ratio (CTR), high voltage resistance and low input current. Because this kind of optocoupler and photoelectric receiver uses photosensitive audion, the disadvantages are also obvious: slow transmission speed and large time delay.
The IC type is quite typical at high speed IC output. It is equipped with a light-sensitive Diode (PHOTOdiode) as an optical receiving device. It is equipped with an integrated circuit (IC) inside for signal amplification and molding. Compared to the previous transistor output coupler which can only provide signal transmission of up to a few kHz, this type of coupler can provide data transmission at rates from 1 to 50Mbps. There are two types of IC output optocouplers: general-purpose devices designed to transmit logic signals, and devices with special functions, including gate drivers for power elements such as IGBT. The optocouplers in this report include general, Darlington, Schmitt, high speed, grooved, etc.
