This circuit suits applications for which the potential difference across the isolation barrier is fixed. (Capacitors provide isolation at dc, but not for ac signals.) With the component values shown and a 500 mA load, ripple voltage is about 10% of the dc output level. You can reduce this ripple by increasing the value of the output capacitor.
Digital isolators use transformers or capacitors to magnetically or capacitively couple data across an isolation barrier, compared to optocouplers that use light from LEDs. Transformers pulse current through a coil, as shown in Figure 1, to create a small, localized magnetic field that induces current in another coil.
Isolation capacitors are widely used in high-voltage systems to protect low-voltage circuits and ensure user safety. However, the electric field at the edges of the capacitor is much larger than in the center, which makes the edge structure prone to breakdown, thus affecting its voltage withstand performance.
