[0082] In this embodiment, the isolated power supply is a module designed based on the principle of conversion, which can convert one voltage into another while isolating and filtering electrical signals. The core component of the isolated power supply module is a switching circuit. Its operating principle is based on the synergistic effect of a switch tube and a controller to achieve conversion and isolation between input and output voltages.
