Texas Instruments has proposed that traditional optocouplers in data signalling circuits can be replaced by a new design of capacitive isolator. According to John Rogers, European business development ...

Sporting an isolation rating of 560V operating and 4000V transient, the ISO721 and ISO721M interface devices from Texas Instruments (picture) use on-chip capacitors to protect signal lines from ...

This application note presents a solution on how to obtain a fast transient into a large capacitive load. The design’s fundamental feature is an open-loop buffer designed to have high input impedance ...

Turning on a power source into a highly capacitive load can wreak havoc on circuit elements and protection devices. Foldback current limiting allows circuit elements to withstand transient currents ...

If you’re designing circuits and equipment that require electrical/electronic isolation, it may be time to consider electronic isolation via capacitance. Of the methods available, capacitive isolation ...

Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...

With the rising importance and complexity of data networks in today's competitive business climate, the concern of losing communications is steadily increasing. Companies with critical transactions, ...

“I don’t like drinking water” my daughter declared in the car last week. “Your body is made up of 90% water, so if you don’t like drinking water then you don’t like yourself”, my son retorted. So it ...
