#92221 - schematic
Responding to: ???'s previous message
hi,

Jan Waclawek said:
But what is the point of having optocouplers, if the supply to the buttons (drived from Vref as you described it) is not decoupled?


I have done two experiments. First one was with non-isolated buttons and the second one with optocouplers. Here is just simple-drawn schematic:


The buttons are isolated and have own power. They are connected to a board via long wires. But this poor schematic does very bad results due variable saturation/resistance from optocoupler to optocoupler.

Rather, use the optocoupler in a way it really works - as a current-to-current device.

Could you explain it more, please? Especially about nonlinearity of current transfer.

Thanks,
Oleg
