Optocoupler speed-up also reduces power consumption

Standard optocoupler speed is limited mainly by the relatively slow response of the phototransistor. This Design Idea adds components to the LED drive side to speed things up. Figure 1  The speed-up circuit not only increases speed of propagation of a rising input signal, but achieves this speed-up at lower power consumption, compared to simplistic […]
