Advantages Vs Disadvantages

Advantages:

1. Low forward voltage drop reduces power dissipation and improves efficiency in voltage regulation and rectification circuits.
2. Fast switching speed makes it useful in applications that require rapid switching, such as power supply protection circuits.
3. High surge current capability allows the diode to handle short-term overloads without damage.
4. Low reverse leakage current minimizes power losses and improves circuit performance.

Disadvantages:

Q/A 1.

How does this IC is provide isolation between input and output circuits?

This IC uses an optocoupler design, which consists of an LED and a photo-triac device. The LED is driven by a low voltage DC signal, and when it turns on, it activates the photo-triac, which in turn switches on an AC load. The input and output circuits are physically separated by the optocoupler, which provides electrical isolation between them.
