Optoisolators are electronic devices designed to provide electrical isolation between circuits. One of the most common types of Optoisolators is the Transistor, Photovoltaic Output (VO217AT) type. This device contains an input photovoltaic transistor that detects changes in the light intensity of the input, activating a transistor switch in the output. In this way, it provides an electrical connection between the two circuits while essentially isolating them from each other.

Application Field:

The VO217AT is most commonly used in applications where voltage isolation and noise immunity are required, such as in audio amplifiers, medical equipment, automotive electrical systems, power supplies, and industrial control systems. By providing electrical isolation between the input and output, it is able to provide a reliable connection without the need for a direct metallic connection. This prevents any possibility of ground loops and reduces the chance of accidental shorts or other fault conditions.

Working Principle:

The Photovoltaic output of the VO217AT optoisolator is activated by changes in light intensity at the input. This light is generated by an infrared-emitting diode (IRED) housed within the device. When the IRED is connected to an external voltage, current is allowed to flow through it. This causes the LED to emit light that is then converted to electricity by the photovoltaic transistor. The voltage thus generated is then used to turn on the transistor switch in the output circuit, providing an electrical connection between the two circuits.

The VO217AT optoisolator also provides an additional layer of noise immunity. By using the light source to activate the photovoltaic transistor, the device essentially ignores any electrical interference from the input circuit. This means that electrical noise originating from the input will not be passed on to the output, ensuring that the connection remains reliable and secure.

The VO217AT optoisolator is a valuable tool for ensuring reliable and secure electrical isolation between circuits. By providing an effective and reliable layer of noise immunity, the device ensures that electrical noise does not interfere with the circuit and jeopardizes the connection between the input and output circuits.
