Product Overview

Isolated Secondary-Side Overvoltage Protection Using Opto-emulators

ISOM8110 Example Isolated Secondary-Side Overvoltage Protection Circuit Example Isolated Secondary-Side Overvoltage Protection Circuit
  • Opto-emulators are pin-to-pin drop-in replacements for traditional optocoupler solutions
  • Analog transistor output opto-emulators can be used to help monitor power supplies for overvoltage events
  • In this circuit, the opto-emulator protects the controller from harmful high-voltage transients
    • This allows the controller to safely monitor the power supply for overvoltage events
    • The breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is used to set the voltage threshold at which the controller can detect an overvoltage event
