Abstract

According to one embodiment, an isolator includes: an isolator module including a first coil and a second coil that are separated with respect to a first direction and face each other; a magnetic member provided on the isolator module in such a manner that the magnetic member overlaps the first coil and the second coil when viewed in the first direction; and an insulating member covering the isolator module and the magnetic member.

Claims (58)

1 . An isolator comprising:

an isolator module including a first coil and a second coil that are separated with respect to a first direction and face each other;

a magnetic member provided on the isolator module; and

an insulating member covering the isolator module and the magnetic member; wherein

the magnetic member includes:

a first part provided on one surface of upper and lower surfaces of the isolator module and overlapping the first coil and the second coil in the first direction, and

a second part provided on a side surface of the isolator module and overlapping the first coil and the second coil in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

2 . The isolator of claim 1 , wherein

the magnetic member further includes a third part provided on another surface of the upper and lower surfaces of the isolator module and sandwiching the first coil and the second coil with the first part in the first direction.

3 . The isolator of claim 1 , wherein

the magnetic member covers the isolator module.

4 . The isolator of claim 1 , wherein

the magnetic member has a sheet shape and contains a ferrite.

5 . The isolator of claim 1 further comprising:

a first chip;

a second chip;

a first wiring electrically coupling the first chip to the first coil; and

a second wiring electrically coupling the second chip to the second coil;

wherein the insulating member covers the first chip, the second chip, the first wiring, and the second wiring.

6 . An isolator comprising:

an isolator module including a first coil and a second coil that are separated with respect to a first direction and face each other;

an insulating member covering the isolator module; and

a magnetic member provided on the insulating member, wherein

the magnetic member includes:

a first part provided on one surface of upper and lower surfaces of the insulating member and overlapping the first coil and the second coil in the first direction, and

a second part provided on a side surface of the insulating member and overlapping the first coil and the second coil in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

7 . The isolator of claim 6 , wherein

the magnetic member further includes a third part provided on another surface of the upper and lower surfaces of the isolator module and sandwiching the first coil and the second coil with the first part in the first direction.

8 . The isolator of claim 6 , wherein

the magnetic member covers the insulating member.

9 . The isolator of claim 6 , wherein

the magnetic member has a sheet shape and contains a ferrite.

10 . The isolator of claim 6 further comprising:

a first chip;

a second chip;

a first wiring electrically coupling the first chip to the first coil; and

a second wiring electrically coupling the second chip to the second coil;

wherein the insulating member covers the first chip, the second chip, the first wiring, and the second wiring.

11 . The isolator of claim 1 , wherein

the isolator module further includes:

a first wiring board provided with the first coil, and having a first pad and a first wiring, the first wiring electrically connected to and between the first coil and the first pad; and

a second wiring board provided with the second coil, and having a second pad and a second wiring, the second wiring electrically connected to and between the second coil and the second pad,

an area of the second wiring board is smaller than an area of the first wiring board,

the first pad is provided on a first region, which is on an upper surface of the first wiring board, the first region not overlapped by the second wiring board in the first direction,

the second pad is provided on a second region, which is on an upper surface of the second wiring board, and

the magnetic member covers the isolator module excluding the first pad and the second pad.

12 . An isolator comprising:

an isolator module including a first coil and a second coil that are separated with respect to a first direction and face each other;

a magnetic member provided on the isolator module in such a manner that the magnetic member overlaps the first coil and the second coil in the first direction; and

an insulating member covering the isolator module and the magnetic member;

wherein

the isolator module further includes:

a first wiring board provided with the first coil, and having a first pad and a first wiring that is between and electrically connected to the first coil and the first pad; and

a second wiring board provided with the second coil, and having a second pad and a second wiring that is between and electrically connected to the second coil and the second pad,

an area of the second wiring board is smaller than an area of the first wiring board,

the first pad is provided on a first region, which is on an upper surface of the first wiring board, the first region not overlapped by the second wiring board in the first direction,

the second pad is provided on a second region, which is on an upper surface of the second wiring board, and

the magnetic member covers the isolator module excluding the first pad and the second pad.
