Avago Technologies: Automotive Optocouplers - Beyond Meeting the Electrical Performance at High Temperature

From Newark

The trend of electric or hybrid electric vehicles has accelerated the introduction of electronic components into cars. The components residing under the hood will experience high ambient temperatures in excess of +105°C. While some products are able to meet electrical specifications up to...

Products & Services
LED Mounts and Lenses
LED mounts and lenses are used to mount LEDs and shape or transfer light output. Other components in this area include LED light pipes, headers, interconnects, and assemblies.
Phototransistors
Phototransistors are solid-state light detectors with internal gain that are used to provide analog or digital signals. They detect visible, ultraviolet and near-infrared light from a variety of sources and are more sensitive than photodiodes. This category includes photodarlingtons. 
Photodiodes
Photodiodes are used for the detection of optical power (UV, Visible, and IR) and for the conversion of optical power to electrical power.
Lux Meters (Light Meters)
Lux meters or light meters measure illumination in terms of luxes (lx) or foot candles (fc).
Optocouplers
Optocouplers are capable of transferring an electrical signal between two circuits while isolating the circuits from each other.
