Optocouplers, Part 1: Principles and usefulness

August 20, 2018 By Bill Schweber

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 […]

The neglected resistor characteristics

December 24, 2016 By Chris Francis

resistor characteristics

We often take resistors for granted. They are one of the fundamental building blocks of electronics design but are often given little thought when choosing them. You will select a value and the tolerance, and probably briefly consider the power dissipation and provided that isn’t very high you will most likely be picking all your […]
