Broken Wire Detection Using An Optical Switch Reference Design

1 января 2018

This reference design shows a compact implentation of 16 isolated digital input channels using TI’s ISO121x devices. The design is split into two groups of eight channels each. A broken wire detection can be excecuted using only one additional optical switch for each channel or two optical switches and one additional capacitor for each group. For this functionality no secondary side supply is needed, which gives a unique benefit to digital input modules using the ISO121x family.
