Das Opto 2 Click Board™ ist ein optischer Isolator, der zur optischen galvanischen Trennung empfindlicher Leitungen verwendet wird. Die verwendeten Optoisolationselemente erfordern einen sehr niedrigen Eingangsstrom von bis zu 1,3 mA (min.). Die Geschwindigkeit der internen Optokopplerelemente des Opto 2 Click Board™ ermöglicht den Betrieb mit Signalen bis zu 20 MHz.
Mit dem Opto 2 Click Board™ lässt sich eine galvanische Trennung der MCU-Pins erreichen, was die Ansteuerung durch externe Komponenten ermöglicht und gleichzeitig auf der Treiberseite vor Spannungsspitzen von bis zu 5 kV schützt.
The Opto 2 Click Board™ can be used in applications where the MCU input side is at risk of high voltage surges in a noisy environment. Since it provides galvanic isolation, the electrical potential of the input side circuit does not have to be the same as the electrical potential of the MCU circuit. Featuring reinforced galvanic isolation, the Opto 2 Click Board™ blocks so-called stray currents, that may appear as a result of differences in ground potential, or the electromagnetic induction. Opto 2 click provides means to drive inputs of the connected MCU with a wide range of external applications and signals.
How Does The Opto 2 Click Board™ Work?
The Opto 2 Click Board™ uses four TLP2770, 20Mbps low-power optocouplers, from Toshiba. These are fast optocouplers, with their output stages shielded against EMI, allowing them to work at higher speeds, providing common-mode transient immunity of ±20 kV/μs. The internal LED elements are driven with 4mA for 5V operation or 2.6mA for 3.3V operation. The input stages are also equipped with (Schottky) diodes, which prevents inverse polarization of the LED elements and thus, permanent damage that might occur in that case.
The working principle of the optocouplers is quite simple: A photo-emitting element - usually a LED, is encapsulated inside the die along with the photo-sensitive element, which can be a photo-sensitive transistor or a photo-diode. LEDs and photo-sensing elements are galvanically isolated, making the input and output electrical networks completely independent of each other. When the LED is biased, it emits light which in return causes the current to flow through the photo-sensitive element. In these particular optocouplers, the output stage is additionally conditioned by a Schmitt trigger and it drives the output transistors which form a totem pole output stage. Having a totem pole output configuration allows the output stage to both sink and source current.
The optocoupler inputs - the anodes (labelled as A) and cathodes (labelled as C) of the internal optocoupler LEDs, are routed to the screw terminals, which allow connection to the external electrical circuit, used to trigger an event on the isolated MCU. The electrical potential between the anode and the cathode input of each optocoupler element should stay within the range between 3.3V and 5V.
The optocoupler outputs are routed to the mikroBUS™ The mikroBUS™ pins INT, CS, RST, and AN, are routed to the optocoupler outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, and are labelled as IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4. As already mentioned, the output stages are conditioned with the Schmitt trigger circuit, reducing the input noise sensitivity and false triggering. The Faraday shield protects the output stages against EMI and provides common-mode transient immunity of ±20 kV/μs. Although these mikroBUS™ pins are labelled as IN1 to IN4, they are actually output from the optocouplers, and it is highly recommended to use them as the INPUT pins on the host MCU.
The Opto 2 Click Board™ is equipped with an SMD jumper labelled as LOGIC, which allows selection of the voltage, applied to the optocoupler output stage. This voltage effectively determines the logic voltage level for the MCU pins. It can be selected between 3.3V and 5V, allowing this Click board™ to be interfaced with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs.
The provided library offers functions that simplify and speed up application development. The included example application demonstrates their use. This application can be used as a reference for custom projects.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Opto 2 Click Board™ on our Libstock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo application can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library performs the check procedure for the desired outputs (IN1 - IN4). For more details check the documentation.
Key functions:
uint8_t opto2_checkOut1( void )- The function checks the state of the OUT1 pin.
Example Description
The demo application is composed of three sections:
- System Initialization - Initializes peripherals and pins.
- Application Initialization - Initializes GPIO driver and selects the outputs (OUT1 - OUT4) which state be checked.
- Application Task - (code snippet) - Performs the check procedure for selected outputs and logs the states from the outputs on USB UART. Repeat the check procedure every 2 seconds.
void applicationTask()
{
tmp = 1;
for (cnt = 0; cnt < 4; cnt++)
{
switch (selOutput & tmp)
{
case 0x01 :
{

if (checkOutput == 0)
{
mikrobus_logWrite( "OUT1 is low", _LOG_LINE );
}
