10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The ISOW7821 device only requires external bypass capacitors to operate. These low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors must be placed as close to the chip pads as possible.
The VCC power-supply input provides power to isolated data channels and to the isolated DC-DC converter. Use Equation 1 to calculate the total power budget on the primary side.
Equation 1. I
CC = (V

where
- ICC is the total current required by the primary supply.
- VISO is the isolated supply voltage.
- IISO is the external load on the isolated supply voltage.
- η is the efficiency.
- VCC is the supply voltage.
- Iinpx is the total current drawn for the isolated data channels and power converter when data channels are toggling at a specific data rate. This data is shown in the Electrical Characteristics—5-V Input, 5-V Output table.
