1. Opto Couplers Types And Its Applications

2. http://www.elprocus.com/ Opto Couplers Types And Its Applications Introduction:  A lot of electronic equipment nowadays is using opt coupler in the circuit. An opt coupler or sometimes refer to as opt isolator allows two circuits to exchange signals yet remain electrically isolated. This is usually accomplished by using light to relay the signal. The standard opt coupler circuits design uses a LED shining on a phototransistor- usually it is a NPN transistor and not PNP. The signal is applied to the LED, which then shines on the transistor in the IC.

3. http://www.elprocus.com/ Opto Couplers Types And Its Applications What is Opto-Isolators or Opto-Couplers  Opto-isolators or Opto-couplers, are made up of a light emitting device, and a light sensitive device, all wrapped up in one package, but with no electrical connection between the two, just a beam of light. The light emitter is nearly always an LED. The light sensitive device may be a photodiode, phototransistor, or more esoteric devices such as thyristors, TRIACs etc.

Pin 6 of transistor is not generally used and when light falls on the base-emitter junction then it switches and pin5 goes to zero.  When logic zero is given as input then the light doesn’t fall on transistor so it doesn’t conduct which gives logic one as output.  When logic 1 is given as input then light falls on transistor so that it conducts, that makes transistor switched ON and it forms short circuit this makes the output is logic zero as collector of transistor is connected to ground.collector of transistor
