Introduction of Optocouplers

Opto-isolators or Opto-couplers, are made up of a light emitting device, and a light sensitive device, all wrapped up in one package, but with no electrical connection between the two, just a beam of light.

Optocoupler Tutorial and Optocoupler Application

Optocouplers, also known as opto-isolators, uses infrared light to transfer electrical signals between two electrically isolated circuits and are commonly classified by their photosensitive
