Optoisolators, also known as optocouplers or photocouplers, are electronic components which electrically isolate two parts of a circuit, allowing for signal or electrical power to be transferred between them with no direct current connection. Specifically, optoisolators of the transistor, photovoltaic output variety, or EL206(TB) devices, are integrated circuit (IC) components that typically feature an infrared LED on one side and an NPN transistor collector on the other. These components have a wide range of practical applications that can be seen in many modern electronics.

The working principle of EL206(TB) optoisolators is based upon the photovoltaic effect, which describes how a visible or non-visible beam of light can cause current to flow in a material. In this case, the source of light is the LED which is directed at the base of the transistor on the other side of the device. When light of the appropriate wavelength strikes the base of the transistor, it causes the transistor to conduct, thus providing a new output current path.

This type of optoisolator is used primarily for applications where relatively low power electrical isolation is required. A common use is in interfacing between various digital logic circuits and other lower power devices, such as relays, motor controllers, and switches. These devices can also be used in more complex industrial process control applications, such as in monitoring machine performance and output.

EL206(TB) optoisolators also provide useful benefits when incorporated into modern communications systems. For example, they are used in some telephony equipment to provide galvanic isolation between the analog telephone circuit and the system control circuitry, and also in some digital signal processor based systems to provide similar galvanic isolation between the digital signal processor (DSP) and the analog audio line.

In addition to the previously mentioned applications, these devices can be used in a wide range of other applications as well. They are commonly used to optically couple a variety of high voltage circuitry, and can also be used to protect low-level signals from unwanted external interference. EL206(TB) devices also have a commonly used form factor that is provided in a small 6-pin SMD package, thus reducing the form factor requirements of the system.

The EL206(TB) optoisolator is an invaluable component that provides reliable electrical isolation in a range of applications. Its physical design in a small, yet robust, package allows it to be used in tight spaces, while its ability to safely provide isolation under a variety of conditions makes it well suited for applications where a high degree of isolation is necessary. It is a great example of the continuing innovation in electronics technology.
