Abstract
An optoelectronic device is disclosed. The optoelectronic device may be employed as a single or multi-channel opto-coupler that electrically isolates one circuit from another circuit. The opto-coupler may include one or more folded leads that establish an enhanced isolation gap. The enhanced isolation gap may include an interruption in the insulation of the opto-coupler between the light source and the light detector. In addition, this interruption may further include a efficiency enhancer, or lens, to direct light emitted from the light source. Accordingly, the creepage distance and operational voltages of the opto-coupler can be increased while maintaining high efficiency levels.
