Working Principles

The MAX222IDWG4 is an isolation amplifier that utilizes optical coupling to achieve galvanic isolation between the input and output signals. It consists of an input stage, isolation barrier, and output stage. The input stage amplifies the input signal, which is then transmitted across the isolation barrier using an optocoupler. On the output side, the amplified and isolated signal is reconstructed by the output stage. This isolation ensures that there is no direct electrical connection between the input and output, providing safety and eliminating ground loop issues.
