Working Principles

The MAX225CWI+TG36 is an isolation amplifier that utilizes optical or magnetic coupling techniques to provide galvanic isolation between the input and output signals. It consists of a differential input stage, isolation barrier, and a digital output stage. The input signal is amplified and then transmitted across the isolation barrier using the chosen isolation technique. On the output side, the isolated signal is converted back to a digital format and made available at the output pin.
