This article highlights the issues related to the use of the galvanic separation of digital circuits by employing modern digital isolators in intrinsically safe applications. The authors refer to the requirements of suitable standards and directives and present their interpretation. They also identified limitations related to the use of digital isolators in intrinsically safe circuits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
