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 ...

Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...

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 ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductors are rapidly emerging in the commercial market. These devices offer several benefits over conventional Silicon-based power semiconductors. SiC MOSFETs can ...

The junior system designer often places the system's power requirements at the end of the list, and thus overlooks the importance of an isolated, versus non-isolated AC/AC, AC/DC, DC/AC, or DC/DC ...
