This little device is great at isolating voltage and noise from one circuit to another, and it can even be used to translate voltage levels. We&#39;ll dive into how to go about biasing both the input and output of the optocoupler. Then we&#39;ll breadboard a demonstration circuit, including use of a schmitt trigger to give our circuit a snappier response time, and also look at the results on an oscilloscope.</p> <h3>Watch the Video</h3> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTni6-R1rIk">www.youtube.com/watch</a></p> <p></p> <div style="background:#ffffff;border:1px solid #dadada;margin:0;padding:14px 16px 16px 18px;vertical-align:top;"> <div style="display:inline-block;float:left;padding:0px 25px 8px 0px;"><a href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/" data-e14adj="t"><img alt="element14 presents" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2021/e14PDCtoDaylight2021.png" /></a></div> <div style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:70%;"> <p style="margin:0;"><span><a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/" data-e14adj="t">element14 presents</a></span>&nbsp; <strong>|</strong> <a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/vcp-program/w/documents/4139/vcp-biography-derek" data-e14adj="t">About Derek</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>|</strong>&nbsp; <a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/dc-to-daylight/" data-e14adj="t">DC to Daylight</a></p> <p style="margin:0;"></p> </div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: photocoupler, schmitt trigger, how to use an optocoupler, optocoupler, optocouplers, optoisolator, how an optocoupler works, how an optoisolator works, how to use an optoisolator</div> https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/dc-to-daylight/w/documents/27802/how-an-optocoupler-works-and-how-to-use-them----dc-to-daylight-17/revision/4Mon, 06 Feb 2023 13:52:04 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:9eb3cb4c-1a25-405d-a6f6-a31b9aa631b7tariq.ahmadhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/dc-to-daylight/w/documents/27802/how-an-optocoupler-works-and-how-to-use-them----dc-to-daylight-17#commentsRevision 4 posted to Documents by tariq.ahmad on 2/6/2023 1:52:04 PM<br /> <p>In this episode we look at the optocoupler or optoisolator as it&#39;s also known.
