Optoisolators are a type of electrical device that isolates two circuits from each other through the use of light. In particular, the VO4256M is an optoisolator that is designed to work with triac or SCR (Silicon-Controlled Rectifier) outputs. This article provides an overview of the VO4256M’s application field and working principle.

Application Field:

The VO4256M optoisolator is designed primarily for use with the AC line voltage and offers a high-isolation barrier between the input and output of the device. It is an ideal device for controlling a variety of alternating current-based applications such as solid-state relays, AC dimmers, AC motor control systems, and other AC-based circuits with protection of the electronic circuits against triggered line voltage surge and noise.

Working Principle:

The VO4256M optoisolator incorporates an integrated chip with a 6-pin package and encapsulated shield. It utilizes a technology called optocouplers, in which a Triac or SCR Optoisolator is the source of the optical isolation. The source is a Triac or SCR output which generates an optical signal that is convert into electrical energy by an internal photodiode. This signal is then fed back to a low-power electrical signal inside the optoisolator, which can then be used to control the load.

The output of the VO4256M emission consists of a dual element: a custom-designed LED/photodiode array, which have an emission wavelength factory-set to a nominal value and a Field Effect Transistor (FET) switch which is designed to provide a direct control over the output current. The FET switch is connected to the logic output of the optoisolator’s integrated chip. The photodiode within the optoisolator is used to detect the LED/photodiode array’s emitted light, while the FET switch ensures that the output current is kept at the desired level.

The triac optoisolator in the VO4256M is triggered by the current passing through the positive side of the triac being changed to a negative voltage. This turns off the current, resetting the triac and allowing the cycle to be repeated. The same principle applies for SCR optoisolators, the only difference being that the SCR is triggered by a positive voltage, rather than a negative voltage.

The VO4256M optoisolator can be used in a variety of applications including AC dimmers, motor control systems, solid state relays, or other AC-based circuits. It provides a high-isolation barrier between input and output making it highly reliable for use in any system that needs the added security from potential circuit contamination, inconsistent performance, or electrical noise from other devices.

The VO4256M optoisolator is an ideal device for controlling a variety of alternating current-based applications. With its dual element setup, it offers an effective and reliable way of isolating circuits without the need for additional components or circuitry, and can provide excellent protection from triggered line voltage surges and noise in AC-based applications.
