4 Channel Optically isolated board with DC-DC converter
This 4-channel optocoupler module uses PC817 chips and a DC-DC converter for electrical isolation. Both high and low-voltage sides have configurable input/output settings.
This is a 4-channel optocoupler module features 4x PC817 optocouplers and an onboard DC-DC converter. It provides reliable electrical isolation between the processor and the high-voltage side. The high-voltage side can be configured as either pull-up or pull-down, while the low-voltage side supports both common-cathode and common-anode configurations. Configuration is selectable via onboard resistors. The integrated 5 V DC-DC converter supplies power to the low-voltage side.
Input Signals
The anodes of the four optocouplers are connected to VCC through current-limiting resistors (R1, R5, R9, R13). The cathodes are left open and can be interfaced with any TTL input signal or switches. For a common cathode configuration, use 0 Ω resistors for R3, R7, R11, and R15, and omit R1, R5, R9, and R13.
Outputs
All optocoupler emitters are connected to the GND output through 0 Ω resistors (R4, R8, R12, R16). Each collector is pulled up using resistors R2, R6, R10, and R14. Under normal conditions, the collector outputs remain high and go low when the corresponding input receives a TTL voltage. For Normally low output configuration use 10K resistors R4, R8, R12, R16 and 0 Ω resistors R2, R6, R10, and R14 in this case use emitter as output.
