Hi All,
I am having trouble with a 485 line driver which keeps blowing up. I think its due to transient spikes and require a way to protect the driver.
Ideally i want something to protect the driver but capable of withstanding a kV surge.
would opto isolators work? i know they have good input to output isolation but what protects the input or output of the opto from a spike?
If anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks
