Abstract:
An isolation circuit arranged to provide electrical isolation between at least one control module and at least one driver module. The isolation circuit comprises at least one boost circuit arranged to receive at least one control signal from the at least one control module, and boost the at least one control signal from a first voltage level signal to an increased voltage level signal. The isolation circuit further comprising at least a first capacitive isolation component comprising a first electrically conductive element and at least one further electrically conductive element formed from at least a part of printed circuit board layer, the first and at least one further electrically conductive elements being electrically isolated with respect to one another and arranged to comprise capacitive characteristics there between.
