Optoisolators are electronic components that are used to offer electrical isolation between two circuits. They employ light to transmit data signals between the two domains, without allowing DC current to pass. This type of electrical isolation can be used to protect a device from malfunctioning due to power surges or spikes, as well as to protect personnel from electric shock. The optoisolator family includes different ICs and photo-sensors. In particular, this paper focuses on the SFH615A-4XSMT/R type of optical isolator.

The SFH615A-4XSMT/R optoisolator is part of the 4-pin side-looking optical isolator devices series, developed by OSRAM. It can transmit TTL and other logic levels with 4V maximum input voltage. This optoisolator guarantees 200 times of minimum isolation voltage between input and output, up to 4500V maximum, which proves to be a great security measures for complex electrical systems. This type of component offers a wide input range, from 4.5 V to 20 V, and allows operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

The working principle of the SFH615A-4XSMT/R optoisolator is based on the combination of an IR light-emitting diode (LED) and a phototransistor. When the signal arrives to the input side of the component, the LED emits a beam of IR light, which is then detected by the phototransistor at the other side. This transistor turns on when the light beam is detected, allowing the voltage to pass from the input to the output circuit, as the two poles of the component are separated by an insulation layer, thus creating a galvanic isolation.

The SFH615A-4XSMT/R optoisolator is specifically designed for applications including DC/DC converter-battery input modules, solar-panel battery input modules, audio-amplifier input modules, high-voltage DC inverter modules, general-purpose power supply circuits, and other applications that require isolation voltage. This type of component is typically found in home or industrial automation equipment, and safety systems as power surge, context of sensors, motor control, or robotics.

In conclusion, the SFH615A-4XSMT/R optoisolator is a great option for electrical engineers, as it offers a wide range of different features such as high-voltage isolation, wide input range and operating temperature, perfect for the purpose of protecting devices and personnel from the electronic hazards. Asides from this, the component’s miniature size makes it the ideal choice for those systems that require space-savvy designs.
