I am using 6n137 opto-coupler to take engine tachometer 12v signal from ECU, then send it to arduino nano esp32 that in return it drives rev RGB LEDs. I found in the optocoupler data sheet that the minimum input voltage is 4.5V at Vcc. Is it ok if i supply Vcc with 5V and pull up Vo to 3.3V from...
I am in the process of designing an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) for a diesel generator's alternator, utilizing a microcontroller-based approach.
Currently, I do not have access to the specific generator to provide detailed specifications, but my general design framework is as follows...
I would like to make a device using an esp32c3 and an optocoupler to allow me to actuate a separate device comprised of a motor running from a different power source (4.2V, 6V or 12V).
The esp32c3 runs from 2x AA alkalines and would wake up periodically to run the motor for a minute, then go...
Hi All,
I am designing a ATmega328P based PCB control board that has a function of sending and receiving discrete digital signals to and from a PLC. The PLC has sinking outputs. The PLC can accept sinking or sourcing inputs.
I want the PCB to output Sourcing (PNP) signals to the PLC. (mostly...
Hello all I'm trying to make a small circuit in which i have to choose the resistance value.. can someone tell me how to choose the resistor value at the input of Optocoupler IC. And my input voltage is 3.3V .. and current 25mili amps ..
I am not sure how to calculate the triac R2 value. Real componets are: BTA12-600CWRG (Triac) and KMOC3063 (Zero-Cross Triac driver photocoupler, IFT 5mA). Optocoupler input will by PWM controlled by 3.3V MCU (ATtiny1604).
Imax R1 = 5.2 mA and Imax R2 = 50 mA (in LTspice simulation).
Hello everyone, I would really appreciate if you could help me
Im making a mini fridge controller (PID), using a 4n25 optocoupler, an IRFZ44n Mosfet and a tec peltier
I connect it to a 12v and 3 A and arduino 5v
As soon as the arduino code is uploaded and I connect it, the mosfet starts to...
Hi Im using a NPN Transistor output Optocoupler (Toshiba TLP290) as a level shifter.
I have a source squarewave and a constant current chip (20mA) in series to drive the Optocouplers internal LED.
The idea is that the constant current chip will allow the optocoupler to be safely and...
I'm having trouble finding a tric coupled photo with two independent outputs. Diode input can be the same, it is not necessary if 2 separate diodes. Someone could indicate a specific model, website or name of the component.
I am having a problem switching the positive input of an optocoupler to ground using a mosfet. Please look at the schematic and plots I did. The mosfet gate is getting 5V, but the output attached to the 1.5K input resistor doesn't go to 0V?
So I am having some trouble building the circuit I had built in a sim, several to be exact, which all seemed to work the way I wanted them to. Now that I have built the circuit on a board, Im not getting the results expected. Checked wiring and and parts, things look ok. Odds are I have missed...
Hello, i've got a newbie question, i hope some of you more experienced guys can give me an answer. I've recreated a simple circuit, that closes relay contacts using optocoupler and transistor, just for fun and i've found out that it's not working, after some time i've succeded to get the circuit...
In the attached Proteus circuit I used optocouplers NSL-32SR3. Its dependence on the LED current is depicted in the attached graph.
Unfortunately for some reason the ohhmeters show always 100MOhms, and it doesn't matter on the applied to LED current.
I'm modelling an all-pass filter which uses optocouplers with linear output resistance characteristics. The scheme is in the attached file. I was suggested to use any of these optocouplers...
