Abstract

The last few years have seen a tremendous increase in electrification of systems to increase system performance, modularity and reliability. System modularity and reliability is critical to reduce system downtime, flexibility, design reuse and enabling minimal manual intervention. There are different implementations that enable system configurability using isolated switches, each of which provide different levels of insulation and system ruggedness.

This technical white paper explains various types of isolated switches from mechanical- to light-based switches. The paper covers various challenges over system reliability and lifetime deration while using traditional opto-switches, which can be addressed with TI's isolated switches (ISOMOS). Finally, the paper goes over different application scenarios that use ISOM8610 to enable system configurability and simply system designs to enhance performance.
