Galvanic isolation means the method to isolate systems electrically that operate within different potentials. There are various methods to accomplish this like optical-insulation, capacitive-insulation, magnetic-insulation, and mechanical-insulation.
The table below shows the comparison among the insulation methods. Digital isolators have some weaknesses in the external magnetic field or CMTI. However, Toshiba supplies products with robust properties against external magnetic fields by utilizing a unique isolation transformer circuit.
Photocoupler | Digital isolator | ||
---|---|---|---|
Coupling | Optical coupling | Magnetic coupling | Capacitive coupling |
Pros | Reliable Insulation Multi-channel, High EMC |
Long life, Fast-transmission rate, Multi-channel, High-CMTI |
Long life, Fast-transmission speed, |
Cons | Limitation of Transmission rate (50Mbps max) | Weakness against external magnetic field* (EMC) | Weakness of CMTI |
* : Adopting our proprietary method to prevent noise from external magnetic field.
