Optocouplers, Part 1: Principles and usefulness

August 20, 2018 By Bill Schweber 1 Comment

The optocoupler — also called an optoisolator — is among the most useful, versatile, problem-solving components available to the design engineer. This small non-monolithic device does one thing and does it well, with minimal complications in most cases and no software. This FAQ will look at its operation principles, key parameters, and applications of this […]

Getting started in electronics: core components

August 25, 2017 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

By “Spec“, Electro-Tech-Online forum member Often newbies ask, ‘How can I get started in electronics?‘ This is a big question, but the very short answer is, ‘Learn the two fundamental electronics laws (Kirchoff, Ohm), get a good book about electronics theory and practical, build some circuits, and make some measurements.’ Follow-on questions are, ‘What electronic […]

Distortion tolerant (mostly): isolated digital interfaces

October 4, 2016 By Chris Francis Leave a Comment

Following on from previous discussions on the problems of analog signal integrity and isolation, I came across the Linear Technology LTM2886 for isolation of SPI or I2C interfaces. This is one of a range of isolated transceivers from Linear Technology covering RS422, RS485, RS232, SPI, I2C and USB. A clear advantage of digital rather than […]
