Optoisolators, also called optocouplers, photo-couplers and opto-isolators, are devices which use optical radiation (light) isolation between two circuits. In terms of circuitry, they are analogous to electromagnetic transformers. Optoisolators increase the safety of systems by preventing undesired electrical interaction between two electrically isolated systems. One example of an optoisolator is a MCT2S1(TA)-V.

MCT2S1(TA)-V optoisolators are commonly used in data and signal transmission applications. The device consists of an infrared LED light source, together with a phototransistor part that is optically-coupled to the LED. The LED emits infrared light when electrical current is applied to it, and the phototransistor transduces (converts from electric to optical energy) a small portion of this light into electric current.

MCT2S1(TA)-V optoisolators work by having the input circuit (input side) provide an analog or digital signal to the LED side. This signal is then converted by the LED into light energy, and this energy is then transmitted, through an isolation barrier, to the output side of the device where it is detected by the phototransistor. The phototransistor then converts the light energy back into electrical energy, and this electric signal is then passed on to the output circuit (output side).

The MCT2S1(TA)-V optoisolator is a traditional transistor-output optoisolator which is used for isolation of digital signals. The design utilizes an AlGaAs infrared LED and an NPN silicon phototransistor to provide high-density system isolation at nominal currents of 1.2 mA (input) and 3.0 mA (output). Typical applications for this optoisolator include industrial and automotive systems, data transmission and communication, circuit protection, and control panels. Compared to other optoisolator designs, the MCT2S1(TA)-V provides reliable, low-cost, and high-isolation performance.

In summary, optoisolators such as the MCT2S1(TA)-V can provide isolation of electrical circuits, improving safety of systems, while also providing data/signal transmission. The optoisolator consists of an LED side and a phototransistor side. Electrical signals are converted from electrical to optical energy, transmitted, and then detected and converted back to an electrical signal on the output side of the device. MCT2S1(TA)-V optoisolators are especially useful for traditional transistor-output optoisolator applications such as industrial and automotive systems, data transmission and communication, circuit protection, and control panels.
