Abstract

A digital isolation apparatus for coupling between a telecommunication network and a digital signal processing device. A CODEC is arranged to couple to the telecommunication network, convert a first set of analog signals from the telecommunication network to a first set of digital signals, and convert a second set of digital signals to a second set of analog signals to the telecommunication network. A digital isolation device, arranged to connect between the CODEC and the digital signal processing device, pass the first set of digital signals from the CODEC to the digital signal processing device, and pass the second set of digital signals from the digital signal processing device to the CODEC. A power supply assembly supplies power to the CODEC via the digital isolation device.
