4N36SVM

Optoisolator devices combine a light emitting diode (LED) with an optical coupler. They are used to isolate input control signals from output circuits with isolation ratings up to 4000V. The isolation helps to eliminate ground loop problems, prevent high common mode voltages, and protect expensive solid-state outputs from costly damage caused by input signal transients. Optoisolators are available in a variety of forms such as single-channel, dual-channel, or multi-channel devices, and are designed for a wide range of applications including power supplies, industrial controls, automotive instruments, power converters, and telecommunications equipment.

The 4N36SVM optoisolator is a single-channel device consisting of an LED as an input, and a photovoltaic output. It is designed for high-speed switching, and is suitable for use in motor drives, logic level conversion, as well as signal transmission and interface applications. The 4N36SVM featuring a high isolation voltage of 4kV, low input current of 1mA, and a high speed response time of 2us (typical). The 4N36SVM optoisolator is available in various packages depending on the application requirements. CMOS versions are also available with TTL logic level and higher speed response.

The general working principle of the 4N36SVM optoisolator consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) input stage and a photovoltaic output. The LED is used to convert the electrical signal into a light beam which is then optically coupled to the photovoltaic output. The photovoltaic output is usually a solar cell that converts the light beam back into an electrical signal which is amplified and then outputted. This type of signal conversion provides excellent signal isolation between the two circuits and can be used in a variety of applications.

The 4N36SVM optoisolator has a wide range of applications in high-speed switching, logic level conversion, signal transmission and interface applications. In motor drives, the 4N36SVM optoisolator can be used to drive the motor in either direction by two separate inputs, one to turn the motor in a clockwise direction, and the other to turn it in a counter-clockwise direction. It can also be used in logic level conversion applications to convert logic output levels from a CMOS source to a TTL level output. In signal transmission and interface applications, the 4N36SVM optoisolator can be used to provide electrical isolation between two circuits that are signal-compatible. This device can also be used to protect sensitive inputs and outputs from transients or to provide additional noise immunity.

The 4N36SVM optoisolator is a versatile device which can be used in a wide range of applications. Its high isolation voltage and high speed response time make it suitable for use in a variety of applications. It is also available in various packages and versions depending on the application requirements. The optoisolator is an ideal choice for applications that require signal conversion and isolation between two circuits which are signal-compatible.
