ABSTRACT:
The use of pulse width modulation rather than analog excitation to control the resistance of a light emitting diode--photoresistor pair is described. In particular, for two LED/LDR opto-isolators in a totem pole configuration, the duty cycle of the first opto-isolator is arranged to equal 1 minus the duty cycle of the second opto-isolator. Thus, both opto-isolators are always active resulting in the ratiometric output being proportional to the duty cycle, and the output impedance being constant.
