Optoisolators are electromechanical components, also known as optocouplers, which are designed to couple an electrical signal across an isolation barrier. An optoisolator typically consists of an LED (light emitting diode) and a photodetector, such as a photoresistor or transistor, usually housed in a single compact package. The PC851XNNSZ0F is an optoisolator in the class of optically coupled isolators with transistor-photovoltaic output. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the PC851XNNSZ0F optoisolator.

Application Field

The PC851XNNSZ0F optoisolator is mainly found in electronic systems where it is necessary to maintain an isolation between input and output paths. Applications include:

• Industrial instrumentation
• Automotive electronics
• Consumer electronics
• Medical Electronics
• Robotics

In these and similar applications, the PC851XNNSZ0F is used to provide electrical isolation between circuits while achieving reliable transmission of signals or data.

Working Principle

Optoisolators provide an isolation barrier between two circuits, typically between input and output connections. As the name indicates, the isolation is achieved by using optical means to couple the input signal across the connection. The PC851XNNSZ0F optoisolator consists of an LED and a phototransistor that have a common current-conducting area between them. The operation is based on the principle that when the LED is energized, it emits a light signal that is detected by the phototransistor. The phototransistor’s response to the light is used to generate a voltage or current signal, depending on the design of the optoisolator.

When the LED is on, the phototransistor conducts through the common area. This conductive area, when exposed to the light signal from the LED, acts as a resistor that is inversely proportional to the incident light intensity. The intensity of the signal is controlled by the setting of the LED current, and the output voltage or current is then determined by the resistance of the phototransistor. This is a simplified explanation of how the PC851XNNSZ0F optoisolator works, but it is sufficient to understand how it can provide electrical isolation between two circuits while providing a reliable transmission of signals or data.

Conclusion

The PC851XNNSZ0F is an optoisolator with a transistor-photovoltaic output, which is used in a wide range of applications requiring electrical and data isolation between two circuits. The optoisolator works by using optical means to couple the input signal across the isolation barrier, and the output is then determined by the resistance of the phototransistor in response to the light signal from the LED.
