Principle and Working of Opto Coupler


Opto Coupler

Opto coupler is a solid state component in which light emitter the light path and light detector are all enclosed within the component and cannot be altered externally. Usually infrared emitting diode (IRED) can be used as a light emitter. Photo transistor can be used as a light detector.

Principle:

Here is one way transistor of electrical signal from LED (IRED) to photo transistor without any electrical connection between the input and output circuitry.
The degree foe solation between input and output depends on the kind of material used in the light path and on the distance between the light emitter and signal light detector. If the distance between emitter and detector is greater, then the isolation is better but current transfer ratio of detector to emitter current is lower.

Working:

The fig shows the symbol of Opto coupler. The coupler may be operated as a switch in which cause both the LED and photo transistor are normally OFF. A pulse of current through the LED (IRED) causes the transistor to be switched ON for the duration of the pulse. Operation as a linear coupler is also possible by setting up a bias current in the LED. The signal is then capacitively coupled to the LED and causes it’s to increase or decrease. Thus the photo transistor receives a light signal which increases and decreases, linearly around the constant bias level.

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
