This   Isolated Analog Input module  is designed for interfacing a wide range of analog signals from sensors and field devices. It is ideal for process control, factory automation, and various industrial applications.

The module simplifies the task of connecting analog voltages or sensors to Arduino boards or other microcontrollers while ensuring complete optical isolation. It requires two separate 5V DC power supplies – one for the input side and one for the output side.

By default, the module accepts a  0–5V analog input  and provides an  optically isolated 0–3.3V output.

To use the module, connect your sensor or analog voltage to the input side, and wire the output to an analog pin of an Arduino or the ADC input of any microcontroller.

The design is based on an  optically isolated linear optocoupler  with an isolation voltage rating of  3750V. The  IC2 MCP601  operates as a closed-loop servomechanism, sensing the photodiode current and driving the optocoupler’s LED.  IC1  is the linear optocoupler itself, while  IC3 MCP601  serves as a signal conditioner for the phototransistor output. A  D1 power LED  indicates the input-side power status.

The  LOC110  Single Linear Optocoupler features an infrared LED optically coupled with two photodiodes. One feedback (input) photodiode is used to generate a control signal that provides a servomechanism to the LED drive current, thus compensating for the LED’s nonlinear time and temperature characteristics. The other (output) photodiode provides an output signal that is linear to the servo LED current. The IC features wide bandwidth, high input-to-output isolation, and excellent servo linearity.
