Design engineers can choose from a wide selection of isolation technologies such as capacitive, optical and inductive/magnetic to implement galvanic isolation. However, the designer must contend with isolation standards that govern voltage ratings and creepage/clearance distances. The Analog eLab panelists will provide an understanding of the pitfalls and benefits of selecting the right isolation solution for the design and help simplify the choices.
During the lab session, the panelists will perform a series of tests to confirm the appropriate isolation solution has been chosen. Tests include high-voltage time-elapse and skew and jitter tests, as well as a common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) test.
