Isolated power and data interface for low-power applications reference design

Description

This reference design provides power and data isolation for low and ultra-low power applications. Generating isolated and non-isolated power rails with a high efficiency and containing a power efficient isolated data interface for three forward- plus one reverse-direction channels. Targeted applications are isolated loop powered 4- to 20-mA transmitters. This design can be adapted to other applications requiring highly-efficient power conversion and isolated data transmission while being powered from sources with a limited current capability.
