The Si8710, Si8711, Si8712 CMOS-based isolators use capacitive isolation technology, but emulate a photo diode input for pin compatability with opto-isolators. The low-cost chips provide more than ten ...

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 ...

Engineers who design for extended-temperature applications like automotive designs should know about the four new opto-isolators from Avago that are just hitting shelves. All four take advantage of ...

Once more opto-isolators are to be seen in Wonderland. The aim was to see if the faster photodiode types can operate quickly in common collector mode. They consist of an infra-red led and a fast npn ...
