One of Atmel’s smallest microcontrollers, the ATtiny, is among the most inexpensive and reliable chips around for small applications. It’s also one of the most popular. If you don&#8217… ...

As [Mic] often got requests to make high-power switching boards, he recently finally gave in and designed the one shown above based around a solid-state relay. Some of our readers that already play… ...

An improved circuit with an optocoupler type TLP621 is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 A circuit with an optocoupler (TLP621) which generates higher (even) harmonics that can be added to the original ...

This CTR range does not include the effects of temperature and bias current. Charts from the optocoupler datasheet, recreated in Figures 2 and 3, summarize the effects of temperature and bias current.

ATmega has some advantages over ATtiny, but mainly in capacity, not so much in features. Conversely, they're likely much easier to switch between than PIC16F and PIC18F<BR>7.

TI, which is entering the optocoupler market for the first time with its digital-output ISOM8710 and ISOM8711 and the analog-output ISOM8110, said they can slot into virtually any high-voltage ...

Southwest Research Institute has developed a high-reliability, high-voltage optocoupler for spaceflight applications. NASA has selected the device as a power interface between the Europa Clipper ...
