Hello members,

I'm trying to understand a specification, but it is not completely clear to
me. Maybe someone can help me out. I have a current loop-a-like interface
with optocouplers. This interfaces are not true 20mA current loop interface
as familiar in the industry, but rather a current sensitive serial link.
    

I didn't make too much sense of this. Are you trying to use an optocoupler in 
'analogue' mode, or pulsing it? If the former, forget it quickly. The only 
way to use those things is as digital switches
  
With matched optocouplers, 2 in a package one used for  feedback, they can be used for analog signals. Try "linear optocoupler" in a webbrowser.

Regards, Tinco
