Digital Isolator & Isolated Interface IC Alternatives

Digital isolation is an essential part of many industrial, automotive, energy and power-electronics systems. Digital isolators allow signals to cross an electrical isolation barrier while helping protect low-voltage control electronics from ground-potential differences, high-voltage transients and electrical noise.
Traditionally, engineers have selected digital isolation and isolated interface devices from established
