Optoisolators are electrical devices that provide electrical isolation between two segments of a circuit. The device uses a photon-sensitive element, usually a light-emitting diode or LED, to detect incoming signals and transmit them to another segment of the circuit. One of the most common optoisolator types is the PC353T, a transistor photovoltaic output optoisolator.

PC353T Application Field

The PC353T is a single channel optoisolator with low input current requirements (typically 10mA or lower). It is ideal for applications such as controlling data-logic input/output signals, switching signals from external sensors or circuits, providing electrical isolation for contact closure, or for applications where low voltage is needed, such as low power systems. The PC353T is designed to provide electrical isolation between highly sensitive circuit segments. It is also suitable for use in systems where there is a need for very low power requirements, such as computer, data, and communication systems.

PC353T Working Principle

The PC353T works by using a light-emitting diode (LED) to detect incoming signals. When the LED receives an electrical signal, it sends light into a detector, such as a phototransistor. The phototransistor then amplifies the signal, which is then sent to the output pin of the optoisolator. The output signal is also isolated from the input signal, meaning that any electrical noise from either segment of the circuit will not affect the other.

The PC353T also has a built-in safety feature that ensures the output does not exceed its rated voltage. This is done by monitoring the LED current in relation to the output voltage. When the LED current exceeds the minimum threshold, the optoisolator automatically shuts off the output.

The PC353T can also be used in applications where very low current is required, such as in medical device test systems. To achieve the required low current, the PC353T can be equipped with a low current load resistor. This resistor helps to limit the amount of current and minimize the effects of interference from external sources.

Conclusion

The PC353T is a popular choice of optoisolator for a variety of applications, such as data-logic input/output control, switching signals from external circuits, and providing electrical isolation for contact closure. Its low current requirements and built-in safety feature make it ideal for applications where very low power is needed. The PC353T can also be used in applications where very low current is required, such as medical device test systems, through the use of a low current load resistor.
