I'd typically use a LDO for this purpose but this time I need that both voltages were isolated. Which is the simplest way to accomplish this? Thanks! Daniel.

No need to design your own. Keith

The few isolated DC/DC converters that I know are used in communication lines only. I've always thought that these converters do not work for stable voltages. Could I maybe use one of these? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...sg=AFQjCNEvUZzzogV0cyEqtxV_bLLCO_NMwA&cad=rja Daniel.
