Optoisolators Most optoisolators are fairly simple devices. They are an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and a photosensitive device in the same package. Current through the LED makes it emit light. The light shines on a photodiode, phototransistor or some such device changing its resistance. The photosensitive device may be a photocell that generates a voltage. It may be a Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) cell that is a light sensitive resistance. It may be a photo diode that changes its reverse biased resistance depending on the amount of light. Most of the time it is a phototransistor. Photodiodes themselves have only a limited current capability measured in microamps so we make a photo transistor by connecting the reverse biased diode between the Base and Collector of an NPN transistor. We can now have an output current that has the capability in the milliamps range. The more light the LED gives off the more minority current carriers we create in the photodiode, the lower its resistance, the more the transistor conducts and the lower the Emitter – Collector resistance. Various output devices are available. Some of the more popular ones are NPN transistors, Darlington transistors, SCRs, Triacs and FETs. The output circuits can be simple or a complex circuit analog or digital. Various input characteristics are available from a single LED, two LEDs connected backto-back, or a complex circuit. Basic characteristics Emitter characteristics We have the same basic characteristics we would have for an LED. We have a Cathodeto-Anode voltage, typical forward current and a magnitude of current the LED outputs under those conditions. If you did the LED exercises you can look at the forward voltage and tell that the LEDs most popularly used are Infrared LEDs. The photosensitive devices are more sensitive to the Infrared spectrum so IR LEDs are, dare I make the statement, ALWAYS used. We also have a question of how fast the LED can be turned on and off. This gives us part of a limitation on frequency. Usually this limitation is more restricted by how fast the detecting device can be turned on and off. The LED may be able to turn on and off fast but it matters not if the detector is slower to respond. Detector characteristics CTR (Current Transfer Ratio) is a measure of how much output current we can get for a given input (LED) current. Most of the time a given part number will have variations designated by a suffix letter that designates a CTR rating. So be mindful that not all parts with the same basic part number will necessarily operate the same under the same conditions. Relating this to our understanding of transistors this relates to the gain of the output transistor. There is more to the question that this but this is a good basic description without going into great detail. Maximum operating voltage and current. Like any other transistor the output transistor has a maximum operating voltage and current capability. Typical voltages will run less than 12 Volts and less than 10 mA. There are special devices for higher voltages and current ratings. Speed is a factor for communications applications but not for switch and lamp I/O applications. Isolation Voltage. Usually rated in the thousands of volts this is not too important in most applications we run into in the gaming industry. This is a question of how much of a difference in voltage we can have between the emitter and the detector circuits. Applications Switch and Lamp I/O. In most games we have the CPU running on a nice clean voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V. Unfortunately the environment we may be in is subject to customers that walk across a high static floor and press a button on the game. We also have higher current, higher voltage (electrically noisy) circuits driving lamps and motors. To isolate these problems from our CPU circuits we use optoisolators. The LED is a pretty sturdy creature. It can take a heavy pulse we might get from a static discharge and survive it better than digital logic does. The low-voltage low-current world of the CPU cannot drive lamps and motors, so we use an optoisolator on outputs to interface the clean simple world of the CPU from the high-power world of motors and lamps. In monitors we have a power supply section running off of the line voltage and a monitor circuit itself running off of a separate ground system. The main power transformer isolates the main monitor circuits from the line referenced ground. To provide feedback in the voltage regulator we use an optoisolator to sense the output voltage and keep the regulator on track. We may also use an optoisolator to monitor the high voltage circuit in an x-ray protection circuit to shut down the power supply in the event of a dangerous condition.

At IF of 1 mA you may not get it to turn on at all at 100 C. At IF of 10 mA you will get VF = 1.2 V at 100 C. At IF of 100 mA you will get VF = 1.35 V at 100 C. At IF of 1 mA you will get VF = 1.07 V at 25 C. At IF of 10 mA you will get VF = 1.17 V at 25 C. At IF of 100 mA you will get VF = 1.5 V at 25 C. At IF of 1 mA you will get VF = 1.2 V at -55 C. At IF of 10 mA you will get VF = 1.3 V at -55 C. At IF of 100 mA you will get VF = 1.6 V at -55 C. The black packaged devices tend to run a little lower in LED voltage than the white package at comparable conditions. CTR is a little higher in the black package. CTR peaks at around 4 mA for black package and 6 mA for the white package. TR is higher at lower at IF of 5 mA than 20 mA. Selection of RBE and R LOAD influences CTR and operating frequency. At IF of 10 mA an RBE of 10K makes the CTR only 10% of typical. At 100 K Ohms CTR is about 95% of typical. At 400K Ohms CTR is about maximum. The values for CTR are lower at lower IF and higher at higher IF.. Operation is almost impossible at 5mA and RBE of 20K. Operation is typical at RBE = 100K and IF of 20 mA. Suggested value for RBE is 100K at IF of 10 mA. Lowering it decreases CTR but improves frequency response. Lowering the value of R LOAD increases switching speeds but decreases CTR. Turn off time of a typical 2 s at R LOAD of 100 Ohms increases to 10 s with an R LOAD of 1,000 Ohms and 1 ms with an R LOAD of 100,000 Ohms.
