LED Drive Circuit Considerations for Ultra High CMR Per-
formance. (Discussion applies to HHCCPPLL--3312102f0ig,2H8CPL-J312,
and HCNW3120)
Without a detector shield, the dominant cause of op-
tocoupler CMR failure is capacitive coupling from the
input side of the optocoupler, through the package, to
the detector IC as shown in Figure 29. The HCPL-3120
improves CMR perform-ance by using a detector IC with
an optically transparent Faraday shield, which diverts the
capaci­tively coupled current away from the sensitive IC
circuitry. How­ever, this shield does not eliminate the ca-
pacitive coupling between the LED and optocoup­ler pins
5-8 as shown in Figure 30. This capacitive coupling causes
perturbations in the LED current during common mode
transients and becomes the major source of CMR failures
for a shielded optocoupler. The main design objective of
a high CMR LED drive circuit becomes keeping the LED
in the proper state (on or off ) during common mode
transients. For example, the recommended application
circuit (Figure 25), can achieve 25 kV/µs CMR while mini-
mizing component complexity.
Techniques to keep the LED in the proper state are
discussed in the next two sections.
