IC/Module: VO2630 High Speed Optocoupler
VO2630 is a dual channel 10 MBd optocoupler connected to four lines (INT, CS, RST and AN) on the mikroBUS socket. It features common mode transient immunity of 100 V/s and low input current capability of 5 mA.
Galvanic Isolation
Galvanic isolation is a design technique that separates electrical circuits to eliminate stray currents. Signals can pass between galvanically isolated circuits, but stray currents, such as differences in ground potential or currents induced by AC power, are blocked. The optocouplers aboard OPTO Click Board™ allow high speed transfer between the input and output while preventing current flow.
SMD Jumper
The zero-ohm J1 SMD jumper aboard OPTO Click Board™ enables the user to switch from the 3.3V (default) to 5V power supply by appropriate soldering.
