Thermal Models for Optocoupler Packages

Optimizing the design of electronics requires a careful selection of the electrical parameters, as well as paying attention to the thermal behavior of the components.

Using Vishay Infrared Receivers in a Wi-Fi Environment

In this application note, the effects of all these factors are quantified as an aid to selecting the most appropriate Vishay IR receivers in Wi-Fi environments. Testing methodology and test data supporting the recommendations are presented.
