Father Brown's figure remained quite dark and still; 
but in that instant he had lost his head. His head was
always most valuable when he had lost it.

They had to pay the burglars to snatch some out of the Smithsonian so they could put them back on the shelf

But I really need a low cost isolation amplifier. Looks like roughly $3 each. SiLabs has a three channel isolated ADC that is interesting, if I can figure out the actual throughput rate.

Nice to have it all in that chip,
but the modulation - demodulation is always a bit .. Not Needed?
I remember back in the seventies using optocouplers for audio and a bit higher
frequencies, there was a chip for that too, no idea what the type number was.
May still have one somewhere,

TI used to make the (iirc) TIL311, which had a LED and two photodiodes, all mutually isolated. You used one PD to servo the LED brightness, and used the other one as the output.

I had one of these, internally capacitively coupled, underpopulated DIL-28 with just 8 pins or so, 20 years ago. It had to be statically shielded, or a 400V AC line 10 cm above it would drive it nuts. ISO-12? could fit. cheers, Gerhard

I haven't used SiLabs isolated ADCs but I have used their isolated gate drivers, they're great value parts! You can push several MHz across the isolation barrier into a load not a problem. Only downside is a bit less stand-off voltage than the equivalent ADI parts, and when they say "moisture sensitive" they really mean it, they'll go bad quick if you don't mount them after being exposed to non humidity-controlled environment. The ADI parts say similar on the pack but in practice it never happened to me while prototyping.

Or rather, they'll go bad when you try to mount them after too long in that environment.

They come in a tube of 9, and they have 8 on stock. So probably at some time someone ordered one, they ordered a tube of 9 from TI and put the remaining 8 on stock. :-)
