Electrical Considerations
The HCPL-5760, HCPL-5761, HCPL-576K or 5962-89477
optocoupler has internal temperature compensated,
predictable voltage and current threshold points which
allow selection of an external resistor, Rx, to determine
larger external threshold voltage levels. For a desired
external threshold voltage, V±, a corresponding typical
value of Rx can be obtained from Figure 10. Specific
calculation of Rx can be obtained from Equation (1)
of Figure 11. Specification of both V+ and V- voltage
threshold levels simultaneously can be obtained by the
use of Rx and Rp as shown in Figure 11 and determined by
Equations (2) and (3).
Rx can provide over-current transient protection by
limiting input current during a transient condition. For
monitoring contacts with a relay or switch, the HCPL-
5760/1/K, or 5962-89477 combin-ation with Rx and Rp
can be used to allow a specific current to be con-ducted
through the contacts for cleaning purposes (wetting
current).
The choice of which input voltage clamp level to choose
depends upon the application of this device (see Figure 3).
It is recommended that the low clamp condition be used
when possible to lower the input power dissipation as
well as the LED current, which minimizes LED degradation
over time.
In applications where dVCM/dt may be extremely large
(such as static discharge), a series resistor, RCC, should
be connected in series with VCC and Pin 8 to protect the
detector IC from destructively high surge currents. See
note 14 for determination of RCC. In addition, it is recom-
mended that a ceramic disc bypass capacitor of 0.01 F to
0.1 F be placed between Pins 8 and 5 to reduce the effect
of power supply noise.
For interfacing ac signals to TTL systems, output low pass
filtering can be performed with a pullup resistor of 1.5 k
and 20 F capacitor. This application requires a Schmitt
trigger gate to avoid slow rise time chatter problems.
For ac input applications, a filter capacitor can be placed
across the dc input terminals for either signal or transient
filtering.
Either AC (Pins 1, 4) or DC (Pins 2, 3) input can be used to
determine external threshold levels.
For one specifically selected external threshold voltage
level V+ or V-, Rx can be determined without use of Rp via
Rx
=
V+(-) – VTH+(-)
ITH+(-)
(1)
For two specifically selected external threshold voltage
levels, V+ and V-, the use of Rx and Rp will permit this
selection via equations (2), (3) provided the following con-
ditions are met:
