STMicroelectronics has launched a family of octal high-side switches that combine galvanic isolation for robustness, RDS(on) below 260mΩ for energy efficiency and protection, as well as diagnostics for reliability and fault recovery. The 8-channel switches, ISO808, ISO808A, ISO808-1, and ISO808A-1, drive all types of industrial loads — capacitive, resistive, and inductive — with one side connected to ground. Typical…
