Optocouplers - Plastic

In an industrial environment where high voltages, magnetic fields and noise are commonly present, reliability is critical to avoid downtime and ensure data accuracy. In this environment circuit designers use optocouplers to insulate high voltages and isolate unwanted signals. As the worldwide leader, Avago delivers optocouplers that are designed and manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of industrial applications. Our optocouplers comply with worldwide regulatory standards, including IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.), CSA (Canadian Standard Association) and the EN (European Union) approvals. The primary purpose of an optocoupler is to provide both electrical insulation and signal isolation. The popularity of our optocouplers is due to cost effective innovations in these areas. The optocouplers can be used in an array of isolation applications ranging from power supply and motor control circuits to data communications and digital logic interface circuits. Some of Avago’s key products include optocouplers with phototransistor output, digital and analog output, high speed and high gain performance, drivers for isolated gate transistors and intelligent power modules, smart current sensors and other application specific devices.
