The design of modern electronic systems in applications as varied as industrial automation, power supplies for telecom base stations, and on-board chargers (OBC) for electric vehicles (EV) comes with ...

Raspberry Pi owners looking to use higher voltages with their mini PC, might be interested in this new opto-isolator board called the Opto-pi which has been specifically designed to be used with the ...

The accurate transmission of analog signals over long distances in noisy industrial environments is a difficult design problem. One of the oldest solutionsisolated current loopsis still one of the ...

Traditionally, isolated power supplies use an opto-coupler in the feedback loop to transfer regulation information across the isolation barrier. Unfortunately, an opto-coupler’s gain characteristic ...

Vishay has created a fast opto-coupler that can operate at 25Mbit/s. Called VOIH72A, is has a digital buffering on the input and output. “The component combines a maximum pulse distortion of only 6ns, ...

Toshiba has introduced an opto-isolated SiC gate driver, that includes an active Miller clamp to tame self-turn-on behaviour in the driven device. Named TLP5814H, it is a “gate driver photocoupler ...

If you’re designing circuits and equipment that require electrical/electronic isolation, it may be time to consider electronic isolation via capacitance. Of the methods available, capacitive isolation ...
