Opto emitter anode

Opto-emitter anode is connected to 5V supply (Logic1). The cathode is connected to the buffer output. When logic 1 is given to the input of LS7406 we get logic 0 as the output. Sink current of opto-emitter is lower than that of LS7406. Now this opto-emitter emits IR rays. This drives the phototransistor whose collector is forced to 24V. When IR rays are emitted from the opto-emitter the phototransistor conducts. The collector to emitter resistance becomes low. So the 24V will appear at emitter voltage. It is given as input for the pre driver (SL100).
