This article is part of the TechXchange: Exploring Digital Isolator Technology
How do test engineers have fun? Why, taking it out on the electronics of course.
Analog Devices' Mike Cantrell and David Carr investigate the VDE 10-kV surge levels for reinforced isolation.
Both iCoupler Digital Isolators and optocouplers pass. But what happens when the dial turns all the way to 11...better known as 24-kV surge?
Pass or pop?
