AGC (automatic-gain-control) amplifiers use the nonlinear characteristics of control devices. The magnitude of the real component in some of their differential parameters changes depending on ...

Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...

The importance of signal isolation in high-voltage design The difference between optocouplers and opto-emulators Details on TI’s silicon dioxide (SiO 2) isolation technology Isolation is invaluable in ...

The circuit was designed to create a volume control with the use of optocouplers to produce a lightspeed passive attenuator. An optocoupler is a sealed device unit which has high performance LED that ...

In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...
