Optoisolators are an important and commonly utilized form of isolation in modern electrical systems. They feature a bidirectional, galvanic barrier between source and load circuits. One of the major advantages of optoisolators is their ability to transmit electrical signals, including digital or analog, while preventing potential damage caused by high voltage electrical surges or other sources. The SFH615AY-X019, manufactured by Siemens, is a transistor, photovoltaic output optoisolator specifically designed to address a wide array of intra- and inter-system electrical isolation tasks.

Application Field

The SFH615AY-X019 is an especially versatile optoisolator, capable of providing isolation and signal transmission for application in multiple fields. Specifically, this optoisolator is used in communications and data transmission, power and energy systems, and control and automation services. It works particularly well with industrial applications, as its solid-state isolation renders it highly resilient under extreme environmental and voltage conditions often present in such environments. The wide input voltage range – from 3 VDC to 40 VDC – further enhances its applicability.

Working Principle

The SFH615AY-X019 optoisolator is composed of a gallium arsenide light-emitting diode (LED) coupled with an NPN phototransistor. In general, each component of an optoisolator plays an important and distinct role in its functioning. Light-emitting diodes emit photons when an electrical signal, typically a voltage, is applied to them – this is the beginning of the transmission process. Firstly, the input signal – analog or digital – is delivered to the LED of the optoisolator which then converts it into a form of light, typically visible, infrared, or ultraviolet. This light is then directed into the phototransistor side of the device, where it is converted into an electrical signal and transferred to the load circuit of the system. The phototransistor also amplifies the weak signal produced by the photodiode, making it strong enough to pass through the output circuit.

This working principle of the SFH615AY-X019 optoisolator – or any other optoisolator, for that matter – is successful in providing excellent electrical isolation between source and load circuits in applications across several industries. By keeping the two circuits electrically disconnected, information and signals can be sent and received, while the potential for electrical surges and electromagnetic interference is significantly minimized.
