Abstract
The present invention relates to a driver system that can include an optical power based isolated power supply. The driver system can include an optical receiver that can be in communication with an optical transmitter to receive an optical signal. The optical receiver can be configured to convert the optical signal to a drive signal having a determined drive strength. The driver system can further include a driving circuit that can be configured to drive an input of the transistor device based on the drive signal according to a control signal defining an on-time and off-time for the driving circuit over a time interval. In some examples, the driver system can be integrated with a protection system.
