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 ...

A difficult challenge in power-supply design is tailoring the response of the control loop. With the loads dynamically changing at a much higher frequency, the control loop has to keep up. To handle ...

Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has delivered three high-temperature, high-speed digital optocouplers, which are said to be the first in the industry for use in industrial applications. These ...

Optocouplers provide high-voltage isolation between a low-voltage device like a microcontroller or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator and a high-voltage device like an intelligent or integrated ...
