Why use a high isolation DC/DC converter? Safety: Ensures that there is a significant barrier between input and output circuits, reducing the risk of electrical shocks and ensuring compliance with safety standards. This is especially important in medical applications where patients will come into contact with the equipment. Noise and Interference Isolation: Helps in minimizing noise and interference between different parts of the system. This is crucial in sensitive electronic systems where even small disturbances can cause malfunctions or inaccuracies. Galvanic Isolation: Galvanic isolation is essential in applications where there is a need to break ground loops or isolate sensitive components from high voltage potentials. For example, in industrial environments, where equipment may be subject to high voltage spikes or surges, galvanic isolation provided by high isolation DC/DDC converters can protect sensitive electronics. Signal Integrity: Preserves signal integrity by preventing ground loops and other forms of interference that can degrade signals, ensuring that the transmitted signals remain accurate and reliable. System Integration: In systems where different components operate at different voltage levels or have different ground references, converters provide a means to interface between these components without compromising safety or performance. Power Distribution: Converters can be used to step up or step down voltages while maintaining isolation between different parts of the system, enabling efficient and safe power transfer.
