Optoisolators, such as the VOS618A-2T, are typically employed in electrical circuits to provide electrically isolated control of an electrical device without the use of direct current (DC) power supply connections. This optoisolator type consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) that, when illuminated, emits light that impinges an integrated photovoltaic cell. This cell generates a voltage, which triggers a Darlington connected transistor, thus providing a switching platform for controlling the connected device. To summarize, optolisolators essentially isolate two circuits by way of a light-emitting diode (LED) and photocells.

Among the various types of optoisolators, the VOS618A-2T is classified as a Transistor, Photovoltaic Output optoisolator. The VOS618A-2T possesses a number of features that make it of particular value in the proper application. To start, it is suitable for operation over a wide range of temperatures from -40°C to +100°C, making it highly suitable for use in both well-controlled or hostile environments. In addition, the optoisolator is highly power efficient due to its reduced current output of 600mA and low drive current of 4mA.

The VOS618A-2T can be used in a variety of applications such as switching, security, communications systems, and remote control systems. It can also be used for controlling electrical devices, such as motors, fans, lamps, and small electronic appliances. Additionally, it is suitable for use in applications with limited input voltage tolerance, such as microcontrollers or medical devices.

This optoisolator also has several distinct advantages over other optoisolator types. First, it has a high dielectric strength of 6.000Vrms (10mA/cm2) because of its construction. This makes it suitable for use in high voltage systems, such as in certain medical applications. Second, the insulation resistance of the optoisolator is spcecified to up to 1000MΩ@500Vdc. This ensures that the device is not affected by external interference. Third, the device is also resistant to EMI and RFI, preventing false operation due to external noise signals.

In terms of the working principle of the VOS618A-2T, the mechanism is relatively straightforward. Once the device is activated, the LED produces light, which affects the integrated photovoltaic cell to generate a voltage that triggers the Darlington connected transistor. This then provides the necessary control platform for the control device. This two-stage detection process provides additional benefits such as a high common mode transient immunity of >50KV/μs and a low propagation delay of 2μs, making it highly suitable for use in high-speed communication systems.

To conclude, the VOS618A-2T optoisolator is a powerful transreflective optoisolator solution that is specifically classified as a Transistor, Photovoltaic Output type. This optoisolator is extremely versatile with its range of features, such as operation over a wide temperature range and power efficiency, making it very suitable for applications involving remote control systems, switching, communications systems, and medical devices. Furthermore, it has several distinct advantages such as its high dielectric strength, insulation resistance, and resistance to EMI and RFI, in addition to its two-stage detection process.
