Accurate stimulus onset timing is critical to almost all behavioral research. Auditory, visual, or manual response time stimulus onsets are typically sent through wires to various machines that record ...

That contrasts with opto-isolators, which require two elements: an LED and a phototransistor, which are physically separated. Unlike transformers that use a magnetic core to enhance coupling, the ...

Signal interface instruments can be used to share, split, boost, protect, step down, linearize and even digitize process signals. This feature originally appeared in the February 2024 issue of InTech ...

Explore the underlying technologies, advantages and limitations of optocouplers and digital isolators with onsemi’s Guy Rahim and John Constantino. Sign up for Electronic Design Newsletters Get the ...

Capacitive digital isolators consist of two digital CMOS dies connected with a capacitive isolation barrier. The barrier provides galvanic isolation to meet safety regulations, reduce noise from ...

TI dispels several common misconceptions about signal isolation technologies, including digital isolators and optocouplers. As demand for reliable signal isolation continues to grow in industrial, ...

The classic serial null-modem cable was, among other things, used to connect two computers together for communications and file transfer. Largely eliminated in daily use by the advent of home ...

Higher efficiency and size are always an important concern in the design of a switching mode power supply, especially for energy saving and environmental protection. The Energy-Star 80 PLUS efficiency ...
