Working Principles

The MAX3491ESD+TG002 is based on the principle of opto-isolation. It utilizes an integrated optocoupler to provide galvanic isolation between two systems. The input signals are converted into optical signals, transmitted across the isolation barrier, and then converted back into electrical signals at the output side. This ensures that any potential difference or noise present in one system does not affect the other.
