Avago Technologies announced the availability of a new family of optically-isolated voltage sensors. This family is the industry’s first series of optical isolation amplifiers based on sigma-delta ...

Cars whose wheels are driven by battery-powered electric motors, continuously or intermittently, have become a hot topic. These “green” vehicles rely on batteries of series-connected cells to obtain ...

• Improve signal integrity and reduce power consumption as much as 80% with pin-to-pin replacement to optocouplers. • New opto-emulators improve performance over end-product lifetimes with TI's ...

How a new isolation amplifier is optimized for low-voltage current-sensing applications. The method used to achieve isolation, and how the two available isolation ratings are characterized. Details of ...

In designs where high voltage (HV) or current is present, it’s necessary to take steps to reduce the potential risk to users. These steps traditionally include insulation, grounding, and the isolation ...

Vishay has introduced a precision isolation amplifier with 5kVrms isolation test voltage and 150kV/μs typical (100kV/μs min) common-mode transient immunity: VIA0050DD. “Isolation amplifiers in the VIA ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...

The RobustISO digital isolators meet reinforced and basic isolation requirements across various standards, including VDE, UL, and CQC. They offer a 5,000VRMS isolation rating for one minute, per UL ...

Abstract: This report presents the development and validation of a practical three-directional seismic isolation system for use in high-voltage power transformers, although the technology could easily ...
