Optoisolators - Transistor, Photovoltaic Output

The VOM452T is an Optoisolator, a type of component designed to isolate two components in an electronic circuit from one another. The purpose of an optoisolator is to keep high voltages and currents separated, and the VOM452T is an example of a specialized optoisolator known as a transistor-photovoltaic output (TPO) optoisolator.

Optoisolator Overview

Optoisolators are components that allow two circuits to communicate with each other even when they operate at different voltage levels. They block direct electrical contact between two circuits, while still allowing signal transfer via the use of light. This mechanism ensures that an internal component of an electronic circuit is electrically isolated from the power or control circuit.

The basic structure of an optoisolator consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photosensitive component, such as a photodetector or phototransistor. The LED emits light when an input (control) signal is applied to it, and this light is then detected by the photosensitive device. The output of the optoisolator is generated when the photosensitive device creates an electrical signal in response to the input of light. The device is thus able to provide electrical isolation between two circuits.

Transistor-Photovoltaic Output (TPO) Optoisolators

The VOM452T is an example of a specialized optoisolator known as a transistor-photovoltaic output (TPO) optoisolator, which integrates a phototransistor and a photocell in a single device. It can safely transfer signals between circuits with significant differences in voltage levels, as the output is always close to the power supply voltage level. This makes the TPO optoisolator ideal for use in systems that require a high degree of electrical isolation. Additionally, the VOM452T offers low propagation delay, which establishes a low-level output response time.

VOM452T Application Field and Working Principle

The VOM452T is designed for use in applications involving mechanical, photoelectric, or chemical isolation. This optoisolator is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications, including optical sensors, mechanical switching devices, motors, and process controllers. The VOM452T has a low saturation voltage of 10V and a high input impedance of 150 ºC, making it ideal for creating a signal connection between circuits operating at different voltage levels.

The working principle of the VOM452T is straightforward. When an input signal is applied to the LED, the LED emits light, which is then detected by the photosensitive device. This triggers the output transistor to switch on, and the load is then powered until the LED turn-off time. The voltage level of the output (load) depends on the forward characteristic of the LED and the voltage level of the power supply.

Conclusion

The VOM452T optoisolator is specifically designed to provide a signal connection between circuits operating at different voltage levels, performing much better than optoisolators that rely on general-purpose photosensitive diode-transistor devices. As such, the VOM452T optoisolator is widely used in a variety of applications, from optical sensors to process controllers.
