9.2.1 Design Requirements

Unlike an optocoupler-based design, which requires several external components to improve performance, provide bias, or limit current, the ISOW308x only require external bypass capacitors to operate as shown in above application diagram. Because of high peak currents flowing through VDD and VISOOUT supplies, bulk capacitance of minimum 10μF is recommended on both pins. Higher values of bulk capacitors (nearly100uF) attenuates noise and ripple further, enhancing performance. Better to select bulk capacitors of DC bias rating greater than 25V to prevent capacitor derating.
