The growth of diverse IoT applications has exposed designers to the challenge of providing galvanic (ohmic) isolation between the sensor and the rest of the electronics. This isolation is critical for signal integrity, system protection, and user safety, but designers have to pick from three main isolation technologies: magnetic, optical and capacitive barriers. Each of these options has similar performance characteristics, but also subtle differences that designers need to account for.
In the March issue of Connectivity’s sister title, Design Products & Applications, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-key Electronics guides you through selecting the correct isolation technology.
