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 ...
An optocoupler-isolated power supply is often the safest and most practical way to go when it comes to performance and protection. Here's the basics on today's LED/photodetector isolators and what you ...
Texas Instruments has added an analogue version of the non-optical replacement for digital opto-isolators it just revealed. Called ‘opto-emulators’, both analogue and digital versions replace the LED ...
The circuit in Figure 1 provides a low-cost, isolated ac-line monitor that measures ac-line-voltage level and has some other unique capabilities. The analysis of the circuit is straightforward: When ...
When it comes to digital power, iWatt claims that it is the inventor of digital power control for AC/DC. The company notes that its technology allows its customers to eliminate BOM costs by reducing ...
Two new series of 4-pin, low AC input current optocouplers with phototransistor output are available from Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. The VOS628A and VOS627A are offered in the compact SSOP-4 ...
