Optoisolators are highly reliable electrical devices used in a variety of applications to provide galvanic isolation. Optoisolators - Transistor, Photovoltaic Output are used to provide isolation of the control signal from the power source. One such optoisolator is the VOL617A-3T. This device offers an excellent combination of performance, reliability and economy, making it an ideal choice for many applications.

The VOL617A-3T utilizes a photovoltaic transistor output in order to provide total galvanic isolation. The photovoltaic effect is a phenomenon where the electron-hole pairs created when light is incident on a semiconductor are separated resulting in the formation of a measurable voltage. This effect is used in the VOL617A-3T to provide output isolation, whilst still allowing the control signal to be transferred between the two circuits.

The VOL617A-3T comprises of a light emitting diode (LED) and a photovoltaic output transistor. The LED is powered by the input supply, typically within the range of 6V to 14V, directly from the input supply pins. This LED emits light which is incident on the output transistor. The device also has an output collector connected to the output circuit. In order for the device to work correctly, it is important to ensure that the output collector is connected in the correct way. This should be done according to the device’s specifications.

The output of the photovoltaic transistor is linked to the collector and its emitter is connected to the input supply. When the LED is powered, its light is incident on the output transistor which results in the difference in potential, allowing the control signal to be transferred across the two circuits. The device works on the simple logic gate action and as such no amplification is required for it to function. This adds to its inherent reliability.

The VOL617A-3T is typically used in applications where a low-cost yet reliable level of isolation is required. For instance it can be used in medical instruments and motor control systems, where isolation of the two circuits is essential. Due to its low power consumption and excellent electromechanical reliability, it is also well suited for applications such as communication systems and uninterrupted power supply systems.

The VOL617A-3T is a versatile yet highly reliable optoisolator for many applications requiring galvanic isolation and low-cost operation. Its photovoltaic transistor output provides an effective level of isolation whilst still allowing transfer of the control signal across both circuits. With a low power consumption and excellent electromechanical reliability, it is well suited for a variety of applications.
