Another use: Optocouplers are part of the MIDI standard to prevent ground loops between devices.

Hi Derek, thank you for not oversimplifying the topic! I really appreciate how you show the derivation of the values from the data sheet, etc. In addition, it is great to hear some industry level concerns too, like longevity, which most presenters simply gloss over.

Back in the days we were making it the hard way with led and photo-transistor.

I like your show. though it is still way above my head it gives me incentives to understand the subject for the day.. and is one of the best things I have found to help me learn.. The old sink or swim routine.. it has always worked for my though at 70 it is getting a bit harder but I still find it fun.. I thrive on a bit of challenge.. thanks guys.. you really have helped in my quest to learn electronics (at least the basics) carry on!

Another use is dealing with noisy mechanical switches like a micro switch on the end of a long cable especially if that cable<br>is conducting power or other signals.
