The output current of optocouplers is low. It is important to remember that the transistor's collector current is 50mA according to the datasheet. On the other side, the transistor is a phototransistor that is controlled by the internal infrared led when the led emits infrared light, the phototransistor contacts and the VOUT becomes zero, turning off the load connected across it. If we change the value and reduce the resistance, the intensity of the led will be high, resulting in a high transistor gain. When the switch is turned on, the 9V battery source will supply current to the LED through the 10k current limiting resistor. The S1 switch will control the infrared led. A low-cost photo-transistor-based optocoupler PC817 is used in the schematic. It will function similarly to a standard DC transistor switch. High isolation voltage between input and output: 5.0kVĪs an optocoupler, the PC817 IC is advantageous for reducing noise between the input signal and electrical appliances/circuits, typical applications include:īasic noise coupling circuit in switching circuitĪ phototransistor-based optocoupler circuit is used in the upper circuit. High VCEO (collector-emitter voltage): 80V MAXĬTR (Current transfer ratio) are available for several ranks From an electrical standpoint, complete isolation is achieved. Consider an optocoupler to be a type of transistor, except that it sends light and a phototransistor from another circuit picks up the signal and opens or closes the circuit. Optocouplers allow you to send a signal to a circuit that is completely isolated from the electronic world. Pin-4: The Collector pin transfers the logical output when receiving IR signal.Pin-3: The Emitter pin is similar to the Cathode pin.
It functions as the inner phototransistor conducts when receiving the IR LED's emitting light. The PC817X series optocoupler IC is comprised of an IRED (Infrared Emitting Diode, or IR LED) and a phototransistor optically coupled to it.
