Abstract

Isolators having a back-to-back configuration for providing electrical isolation between two circuits are described, in which multiple isolators formed on a single monolithic substrate are connect in series to achieve a higher amount of electrical isolation for a single substrate than for one of the isolators alone. A pair of isolators in the back-to-back configuration have top and bottom isolator components where the top isolator components are connected together and electrically isolated from the underlying substrate, resulting in floating top isolator components. The back-to-back isolator may provide one or more communication channels for transfer of information and/or power between different circuits.
