Optoisolators provide an effective means of electrical isolation between different sections of a circuit or between two circuits. This technology ensures that a circuit cannot be affected by any change in the other circuit to which it is connected. It also makes sure that the circuit’s performance is not affected by interference from other circuits. One of the most common types of optoisolators is the transistor, photovoltaic output type, commonly represented by the CNX38U. This article will discuss the application field and working principles of this optoisolator.

The CNX38U is a 4 pin ultraminiature optoisolator that provides electrical isolation between two different circuits. It is comprised of a IC compatible package with an Icless LED mounted on a common plastic base. It is ideal for use in applications requiring a small size and high current capacity. It also offers high frequency switching which is suitable for load control or frequency-to-voltage conversion in various applications such as semiconductor processes, industrial automation, test and measurement systems and medical instruments. The CNX38U has a voltage isolation capability of up to 4 kV, which is sufficient to safely isolate two circuits without suffering any ill effects from electrical noise between them.

The working principle of the CNX38U is based on the photoconductive effect. When an electrical current passes through its LED, photons are emitted that act on the phototransistor, which is an integrated component within the optoisolator. This causes the phototransistor to conduct, which in turn switches the output voltage on or off. The amount of current passed through the LED determines the amount of current that is allowed to flow through the phototransistor, thus affecting the output voltage.

The primary application of the CNX38U is in load control and frequency-to-voltage conversion. It can be used to control loads or motors within any type of system. Its small size makes it particularly suitable for use in embedded systems such as those found in industrial automation, test and measurement systems and medical instruments. It is also suitable for use in communication systems due to its high frequency switching capability and ability to resist electrical interference.

The CNX38U optoisolator provides a cost efficient and effective solution for any application that requires electrical isolation. It has a low power consumption and is capable of switching up to 5 kV of power. Its small size allows for it to be integrated into various types of systems. Furthermore, its high frequency switching ability makes it suitable for use in communication systems, and its resistance to electrical interference ensures its reliable performance.
