This simple circuit provides better than 1% accuracy in optically coupling a DC voltage signal. To compensate for the non-linearity of the optical isolator, an identical device is connected in the ...

Electronic isolation is a means of preventing the transfer of direct current (dc) and unwanted alternating current (ac) between two parts of a system while still enabling signal and power transfer ...

Having problems with your process controls and electrical instrumentation? The source may be a grounding disturbance known as a ground loop. According to the ANSI/ IEEE Standard Dictionary of ...

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 ...

Weidmuller introduces the new WAVEPak DC/DC isolator – a cost-effective, adjustable conditioning solution for applications with high-level signals, such as flow transmitters in process applications.

AutomationDirect's ProSense universal input conditioners/isolators accept a wide range of RTD, thermocouple, resistance, potentiometer, mA or voltage inputs, and offer current, voltage and/or relay ...

Many new designs today absolutely require galvanic isolation between two or more pieces of equipment, or between two critical sections of a single product or system. If you haven’t done this before, ...

The need to reduce carbon footprint in automobiles has driven the use of multiple power supplies in hybrid electric vehicle/electric vehicle (HEV/EV) subsystems. As a result, robust and reliable ...

Texas Instruments has introduced a DC/DC step-down controller with remote bipolar junction transistor (BJT) temperature-compensated inductor current sensing. The benefit is a smaller design footprint ...
