Designers of high-voltage systems have a variety of options to isolate circuits. This easy-to-read paper from TI covers the pros and cons of magnetic, capacitive, and optical isolation, and includes practical tips for designing more reliable EV, grid infrastructure, factory automation and motor drive applications.

This reference design achieves isolation while transferring signal and power to the secondary side without an isolated bias supply.

Monitor isolation resistance and insulation leakage from DC to protective earth (PE) at regular intervals, with no external supply on hot side.

Watch this short video to see what TI thinks must evolve to keep reliability and affordability at the forefront of isolated designs.
