VO615A-X001

Optoisolators - Transistor, Photovoltaic Output

The VO615A-X001 is a transistor photovoltaic output optoisolator, designed to provide electrical isolation between two circuits. The device isolates two circuits while both operating at different voltages. Generally, optoisolators are designed to be used as signal isolation devices between a transistor output circuit and an input circuit.

The VO615A-X001 consists of an LED which is optically coupled to an integrated circuit. The LED, when energised, transmits light signals to the photovoltaic cell, which produces a corresponding voltage. The output of the VO615A-X001 is a voltage level, rather than a current, and will be more stable than a current-transferring optoisolator.

In terms of application fields, the VO615A-X001 is used to isolate circuits from each other. It is typically used in the automotive industry, where the output signal of a vehicle’s computer must be isolated from the input signal of a monitoring device. The device can also be used in medical equipment, where medical device’s input signals must be isolated from faulty output signals sent by other medical devices.

In terms of working principle, the VO615A-X001 operates based on an interlocking system of LED and photovoltaic cells. The LED is energised when it is triggered by an electrical signal, and this energised LED emits light, which is then detected by the photovoltaic cell. The photovoltaic cell then produces an output voltage, which is used as an isolated signal.

The VO615A-X001 is an extremely reliable device and provides customers with a safe and secure method for isolating two circuits. Its high degree of isolation reduces interference, both electrical and mechanical, between circuits. This makes it the ideal device for applications where high isolation needs to be achieved.
