Optoisolators are electrical components that are used to transfer electrical signals from one circuit to another without allowing any electrical current to flow between the two circuits. This is typically done using a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photovoltaic device (also called a photodetector) which work together to isolate the two circuits while still allowing the signal to be passed. The PS2581L2-D-A transistor photovoltaic output optoisolator is a typical optoisolator used for this purpose.

Application

Optoisolators are typically used in situations where two circuits need to be electrically isolated but still need to communicate a signal, such as between a microcontroller and external circuitry. This is because microcontrollers often run at higher voltages than the rest of the circuit, and using an optoisolator prevents any of the higher voltage from flowing into the external circuit and causing damage. PS2581L2-D-A optoisolators are specifically designed for this purpose, with a variety of features that make them ideal for use with microcontrollers.

These optoisolators have a high input sensitivity of 1 mA at 50% of their maximum current output, meaning they can detect even very small signals from the microcontroller. They also have a wide range of operation temperatures, from -40℃ to 100℃, making them suitable for a variety of climates. Additionally, they have a maximum continuous output current of 70 mA, meaning they can handle moderate loads from the external circuitry.

Working Principle

The working principle of the PS2581L2-D-A is fairly simple. When a signal is sent from the microcontroller, the LED inside the optoisolator is activated and emits light. This light is then detected by the photovoltaic device, which generates a current in response. The current is then sent to the external circuitry, which is connected to the output of the optoisolator, allowing the signal to be passed without any electrical current flowing between the two circuits.

Additionally, the PS2581L2-D-A has a built-in reverse polarity protection feature, which prevents the optoisolator from breaking if the two circuits are accidentally connected in reverse. This is done by including a diode and resistor between the input and output of the optoisolator which will direct any current flowing in the wrong direction away from the sensitive components.

Conclusion

The PS2581L2-D-A is an ideal optoisolator for use with microcontrollers. Itshigh input sensitivity and wide temperature range make it suitable for almost any application, while its built-in reverse polarity protection ensures that the optoisolator will remain intact in the event of accidental connection in reverse. Additionally, its high continuous output current allows it to handle moderate loads from the external circuitry. All of these features make the PS2581L2-D-A an excellent choice for transferring signals between a microcontroller and external circuitry.
