Why do electronics need isolation?
Isolation is about reliable protection in the presence of dangerous high voltages. Galvanic isolation electrically separates two domains, allowing power or signals to transfer across the barrier without compromising human safety, while also preventing ground potential differences and improving noise immunity. TI’s portfolio of isolation technologies, including a capacitive SiO2 insulation barrier and integrated transformers, help exceed Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) standards without compromising performance.
