I am having trouble with PIC12F629 which is supplied by an isolated supply and M211 optoFET by Solid State Optronics also powered by same isolated supply at higher voltage which supplies our load at constant current. When supplying the PIC12F629 with an independent supply without the load being supplied the PIC12F629 operates correctly, but even when I supply the microcontroller separately, and the power supply for our loads is on I cannot turn on the input LEDs for the M211, i.e., the control outputs of the microcontroller does not drop to zero to turn on the optoFET, there is 1 K in series with 5 supply to provide turn on for the optoFET. Can anyone tell me what is going on.
