Optoisolators, also known as optical couplers, are comprised of a light emitting diode (LED) optically coupled in series to a two terminal bipolar transistor. The 4N55 (a.k.a. S2671) is a popular transistor, photovoltaic output, optoisolator, that can be used in a wide variety of applications. In this article, the application field and working principle of the 4N55#300 optoisolator will be discussed in detail.

The 4N55#300 optoisolator has many applications, but it is most commonly used in telecommunications, industrial control, and security systems. In these applications, it serves to physically separate input signals and output signals. It can be used in analog, digital, and high voltage systems, and is resistant to ESD and EMI. Some examples of applications include isolating high voltage control circuits, optically isolating a sensor from the rest of the system, isolating a communication system from a power system, etc.

The 4N55#300 optoisolator works on the principle of photovoltaic coupling. To understand how it works, we need to understand a bit about how an LED and transistor work. An LED is a diode that, when applying current, emits light. The current is converted into light energy. A transistor is an electronic switch, which first must be turned on for current to pass through it. In an optoisolator, the LED is optically coupled in series to the transistor. The LED is powered by the input signal, and it emits light, which is then used to turn on the transistor. This, in turn, allows current to flow from the output side of the optoisolator, creating the desired effect.

The 4N55#300 has a few key features that make it the popular choice for many applications. It has a low power consumption, and a low voltage operating range of 2.3-7V. It also has a high voltage output range of 50-500V, which makes it ideal for high voltage applications. Additionally, it has a fast turn-on time of several hundred nanoseconds, making it suitable for high speed applications. Finally, it has an excellent capability for longer wiring runs and is resistant to ESD and EMI.

In summary, the 4N55#300 optoisolator is a popular choice for a wide variety of applications, due to its low power consumption, wide operating range, and excellent resistance to ESD and EMI. It works on the principle of photovoltaic coupling, in which an LED emits light to turn on a transistor, allowing current to pass through the optoisolator. As such, it is used in analog, digital, and high voltage applications in telecommunications, industrial control, and security systems.
