How to develop standards-compliant isolated data and power designs

  Designing an isolated system can be a challenge, especially when you need
  to align and comply with specific standards commonly used in
  industrial, medical, communications and data-center domains. You not
  only have to isolate the data-path signals, but also other subsystems
  such as power and communications. This seminar is geared toward
  designers who have to select the right components to develop such
  isolated systems.
 
  There is a general move away from opto-couplers traditionally used for
  data-path isolation in favor of digital isolation. In this seminar,
  you?ll learn about digital isolation and designing isolated power
  subsystems without the use of optocouplers. Get a deeper understanding
  of the various system-level standards that an isolated system must
  comply with and relate these standards back to the components?
  datasheet specifications.
 
  If your next design involves isolation and you want to learn how to make
  it right from the beginning while using start-of-the-art solutions
  available in the semiconductor space, this seminar is definitely for
  you!

" There is a general move away from opto-couplers traditionally used for  data-path isolation in favor of digital isolation. "

-- this is always said by the manufacturers and distributors of these digital isolators - that's not necessarily the truth. Afair Avnet has lost the franchise with Broadcom (ex Avago) in favour of EBV, so they now must advertise the digital isolators :-)

Edit: just checked EBV is part of Avnet, so WTF? Merger confusion is going on and on ... Was ist Arrow or Silica who lost Broadcom/Avago? And why the heck is Avago now called Broadcom, and since when does Broadcom make opto-isolators?

Hey, wait - Silica lost Avago with Broadcom? So they now push ADI / TI / Sillabs?
