The importance of signal isolation in high-voltage design The difference between optocouplers and opto-emulators Details on TI’s silicon dioxide (SiO 2) isolation technology Isolation is invaluable in ...
Inverter gate driver optocouplers are ideally suited for IGBT and MOSFET applications for variable speed motor drives. Their high output peak currents, coupled with high voltage safety standards ...
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- For today's high-power industrial applications, designers have traditionally used discrete components for the IGBT drivers, resulting in higher overall design ...
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 ...
In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...
Researchers at STMicroelectronics have developed a silicon-based light-emitting device for optocouplers and similar applications. While the low light level that basic silicon can emit isn't very ...
Power isolation devices are achieving higher performance specifications due to improved package designs, writes Richard Wilson. Recent optocoupler announcements form Avago Technologies and Isocom ...
Hybrid-electric vehicles must operate reliably under harsh conditions that demand special qualities on the part of power-conditioning electronics. Consider the electrical system for a hybrid-electric ...
