As system power budgets come under scrutiny, power consumption is becoming increasingly important. While a digital isolator may constitute a small piece of a system’s overall power budget, every reduction affects overall consumption and supports efficient, “green” designs. These isolators boast low overall power consumption, with less than 1.6 mA/channel @1 Mbps and low overall power consumption across operating data rate (see flat power line). Compared to the competition, these isolators are noticeably times lower. Above about 5 Mbps, the Si86xx is clearly better in terms of quiescent current. The graph shown on this slide represents 5 V power consumption across operating data rate. At 3 V, Skyworks Solutions isolators still have a power advantage at higher data rates, but the delta is not as great. Competitor A has a power advantage below 2-3 Mbps, but the difference is much smaller as compared to Skyworks Solutions legacy isolators. Also note that competitor A characterizes their max power numbers at 105 °C while Si8xxx isolators are characterized at 125 °C, temperature is a significant contributor. There are some low power optocouplers being introduced, but these are limited to 1 Mbps maximum data rates and temperatures from 0°C to 70°C only. They also exhibit worse timing characteristics, low reliability and aging effects.
