We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optocouplers", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Digital optocouplers have industrial specs from Avago Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Wide temperature optocouplers are extremely reliable and ideal for use in applications that operate in harsh industrial environments". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Optocoupler protects in hybrid vehicles from Avago Technologies: "Intelligent power module digital interface optocoupler offers high reliability, high performance, ease of integration and superior heat dissipation".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Everlight Electronics concerning its 4N2X, 4N3X, H11AX and CNY17-X and CNY17F-X - take a look at Optocouplers provide design flexibility which says: "The 4N2X, 4N3X, H11AX, CNY17-X and CNY17F-X phototransistor optocouplers offer flexibility when designing power supplies, programmable logic controllers and general-purpose switching circuits".
Take a look also at the news release from Isocom Components 2004, Optocouplers save space for protection, as well as DACs reduce harmonic distortion from Linear Technology Corp, and Optoelectronic components come together from Rapid Electronics.
