When designing channel-to-channel isolated analog output modules for process control applications the main trade-off is usually between power dissipation and channel density. As module sizes shrink and channel densities increase, the power dissipation per channel must decrease to accommodate the max power dissipation budget for the module. This technical article from Analog Devices provides detail on a system-level solution that enables a robust, compact, 8-channel, channel-to-channel isolated analog output module, which achieves best-in-industry power dissipation of less than 2 W for all eight channels operating under worst-case power dissipation conditions.
