Understanding Isolation Amplifiers Using Operational Amplifiers
Introduction Isolation amplifiers are important in applications that require electrical isolation between input and output circuits to protect the equipment and increase signal quality Using operational amplifiers (Op-Amps), isolation amplifiers can drive signals out of phase various well without direct electrical connection, causing ground loop , interference etc. This blog will explore what solitary amplifiers are, why they are important, and how they work, with a particular focus on applications using performance amplifiers. What is an Isolation Amplifier? An isolation amplifier is a type of amplifier that transfers electrical signals without being physically connected to its inputs and outputs. These amplifiers use isolation mechanisms (such as transformers or optocouplers) to create barriers, ensuring that there are no electrical faults or differences in ground potential will not affect sensitive devices Major advantages of isolation amplifier: Safety: High voltage generators...
