Optoisolators are increasingly becoming a popular choice for many applications. PC852X optoisolators have been developed to bridge the gap between high-power and low-current applications while still providing reliable operation. This optoisolator type usually consists of a solid state photovoltaic cell (or LED) mounted on the top of a semiconductor transistor. An optoisolator of this design is able to provide efficient isolation of two electronic circuits by using the optical signal generated by the LED to control the flow of current through the base of the transistor.

The ability of the PC852X optoisolator to isolate two circuits with a small amount of current provides a range of important applications. These optoisolators are commonly used in industrial and medical equipment, as well as automotive circuits. For example, the PC852X is a popular choice for controlling switching functions within automotive battery-powered applications due to its ability to provide a reliable and low-cost alternative to relays. The isolation of the external circuits also has the important advantage of preventing any electrical spikes that may damage sensitive electronic components in the device.

The working principle of a PC852X optoisolator is fairly simple. When power is applied to the LED, the light generated causes the voltage across the photovoltaic cell to drop in a process known as photon absorption. This results in a decrease in the forward current flow through the transistor and the voltage at the collector to decrease. The decrease in voltage causes a proportional drop in collector current, thus increasing the resistance between the collector and emitter of the transistor. The isolation achieved by the optoisolator is then used to control the external circuit connected to the collector and emitter.

Besides being used in automotive applications, PC852X optoisolators are also frequently found in industrial control and medical environments where reliable isolation is required. In industrial applications, isolated power supplies are often needed to provide power to low-power systems such as computers, microcontrollers and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The isolation of an external circuit, provided by PC852X optoisolators, also makes them an ideal choice as an interface component for transmitting analog signals between circuits. As with automotive applications, isolation prevents electrical interference from damaging sensitive components.

PC852X optoisolators provide a reliable and efficient solution for isolating two circuits with minimal current. Their low-cost and ease of use make them an outstanding choice for many applications, especially automotive and industrial control systems. The optical signal generated by the LED activates the photovoltaic cell to initiate the transfer of current, allowing reliable isolation which prevents potentially dangerous electrical interference from damaging sensitive components. PC852X optoisolators provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for many applications.
