LTV-207 Isolators

Optoisolators are widely used to isolate one circuit from another. They provide galvanic isolation and require no external power supply. The LTV-207 optically isolated transistor is one such component. It features a photovoltaic output, allowing it to be used in circuits where the voltage difference between two points needs to be isolated without isolated power.

The LTV-207 operates on the principle of photocurrent. When light hits the component, it produces an electric current proportional to the light intensity. This phenomenon is used in the LTV-207 to isolate the two pins of the output, and to control the voltage across the pins.

The most common application of the LTV-207 is to isolate the voltage signal coming from a low voltage circuit from a high voltage circuit. The lower side, or input, of the transistor sees a low voltage signal input, and the high side, or output, of the transistor produces a voltage output. This allows the output to mimic the input voltage without any further power requirements.

The LTV-207 can be used in a variety of applications that require isolation. Its small size and low power consumption make it idea for portable equipment and other low-power applications. It can also be used in circuits requiring a fast response time to integrate analog signals or control the current to a load.

In addition to providing galvanic isolation, the LTV-207 is also capable of blocking high frequency interference. This makes it ideal for use in high-frequency applications such as audio and video circuits. It also features a wide operating temperature range, so it can be used in a variety of environments.

The LTV-207 optically isolated transistor is a reliable and inexpensive solution for isolating one part of a circuit from another. Its small size and low power consumption make it ideal for portable equipment and other low-power applications. In addition, its wide operating temperature range allows it to be used in a variety of applications. With its high frequency blocking capability, it can be used in circuits requiring a fast response time or in high-frequency applications such as audio and video circuits.
