    Isolated MagI³C Power Module Masters the 24V Industry Bus

    Figure 1: Typical application for an isolated power module

    Every industry control circuit needs a supply voltage. But as the industry control circuit is only a small part in a bigger electrical environment, a lot of specification parameters have to be considered to choose the proper supply device. During the design of a DC/DC converter, the designer needs to know the inp
