The HCPL-3760 is a low-current version of the HCPL-0370/3700. To obtain lower current operation, the HCPL-3760 uses a high-efficiency AlGaAs LED which provides higher light output at lower drive currents. The devices utilize threshold sensing input buffer ICs which permit control of threshold levels over a wide range of input voltages with a single external resistor. HCPL-0370/3700/3760 The input buffer incorporates several features: hysteresis for extra noise immunity and switching immunity, a diode bridge for easy use with ac input signals, and internal clamping Functional Diagram Applications * Limit Switch Sensing * Low Voltage Detector * 5 V-240 V AC/DC Voltage Sensing * Relay Contact Monitor * Relay Coil Voltage Monitor * Current Sensing * Microprocessor Interfacing AC 1 8 VCC DC+ 2 7 NC DC- 3 6 VO AC 4 5 GND TRUTH TABLE (POSITIVE LOGIC) INPUT OUTPUT L H H L CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD. 2 diodes to protect the buffer and LED from a wide range of overvoltage and over-current transients. Because threshold sensing is done prior to driving the LED, variations in optical coupling from the LED to the detector will have no effect on the threshold levels. The buffer IC for the HCPL-3760 was redesigned to permit a lower input current. The nominal turn on threshold for the HCPL-3760 is 1.2 mA (ITH +) and 3.7 volts (VTH +). The high gain output stage features an open collector output providing both TTL compatible The HCPL-0370/3700's input buffer IC has a nominal turn on threshold of 2.5 mA (ITH +) and 3.7 volts (VTH +). saturation voltages and CMOS compatible breakdown voltages. By combining several unique functions in a single package, the user is provided with an ideal component for industrial control computer input boards and other applications where a predetermined input threshold level is desirable.

Measured at a point 1.6 mm below seating plane. 2. Current into/out of any single lead. 3. Surge input current duration is 3 ms at 120 Hz pulse repetition rate. Transient input current duration is 10 s at 120 Hz pulse repetition rate. Note that maximum input power, PIN, must be observed. 4. Derate linearly above 70C free-air temperature at a rate of 4.1 mW/C (HCPL-3700/3760) and 3.1 mW/C (HCPL-0370). Maximum input power dissipation of 230 mW (HCPL-3700/3760) and 172 mW (HCPL-0370) allows an input IC junction temperature of 125C at an ambient temperature of TA = 70C. Excessive PIN and TJ may result in IC chip degradation. 5. Derate linearly above 70C free-air temperature at a rate of 5.4 mW/C (HCPL-3700/3760) and 5 mW/C (HCPL-0370). 6. Derate linearly above 70C free-air temperature at a rate of 3.9 mW/C (HCPL-3700/3760) and 1.9 mW/C (HCPL-0370). Maximum output power dissipation of 210 mW (HCPL-3700/3760) and 103 mW (HCPL-0370) allows an output IC junction temperature of 125C at an ambient temperature of TA = 70C. 7. Derate linearly above 70C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.6 mA/C. 8. Maximum operating frequency is defined when output waveform Pin 6 obtains only 90% of VCC with RL = 4.7 k, CL = 30 pF using a 5 V square wave input signal. 9. All typical values are at TA = 25C, VCC = 5.0 V unless otherwise stated. 10. The tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 2.5 V level of the leading edge of a 5.0 V input pulse (1 s rise time) to the 1.5 V level on the leading edge of the output pulse (see Figure 10). 11. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 2.5 V level of the trailing edge of a 5.0 V input pulse (1 s fall time) to the 1.5 V level on the trailing edge of the output pulse (see Figure 10). 12. Common mode transient immunity in Logic High level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVCM/dt on the leading edge of the common mode pulse, VCM, to insure that the output will remain in a Logic High state (i.e., VO > 2.0 V). Common mode transient immunity in Logic Low level is the maximum tolerable (negative) dVCM/dt on the trailing edge of the common mode pulse signal, VCM, to insure that the output will remain in a Logic Low state (i.e., VO < 0.8 V). See Figure 11. 13. In applications where dVCM/dt may exceed 50,000 V/s (such as static discharge), a series resistor, RCC, should be included to protect the detector IC from destructively high surge currents. The recommended value for RCC is 240 per volt of allowable drop in VCC (between Pin 8 and VCC) with a minimum value of 240 . 14. Logic low output level at Pin 6 occurs under the conditions of VIN VTH+ as well as the range of VIN > VTH- once VIN has exceeded VTH+. Logic high output level at Pin 6 occurs under the conditions of VIN VTH- as well as the range of VIN < VTH+ once VIN has decreased below VTH-. 15. AC voltage is instantaneous voltage. 16. Device considered a two terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3, 4 connected together, and Pins 5, 6, 7, 8 connected together. 17. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage 4500 V rms for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, Ii-o 5 A). 18. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage 6000 V rms for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, Ii-o 5 A). This test is performed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (Method b) shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation Characteristics Table. DEVICE ITH Figure 1.

External Threshold Voltage Level Selection. Electrical Considerations The HCPL-0370/3700/3760 optocouplers have 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 12. Specific calculation of RX can be obtained from Equation (1). Specification of both V+ and V- voltage threshold levels simultaneously can be obtained by the use of RX and RP as shown in Figure 13 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 of a relay or switch, the HCPL-0370/3700/3760 in combination with RX and RP can be used to allow a specific current to be conducted 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 1). It is recommended that the low clamp condition be used when possible. The low clamp condition in conjunction with the low input current feature will ensure extremely low input power dissipation. 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 13 for determination of RCC. In addition, it is recommended that a ceramic disc bypass capacitor of 0.01 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 V+ - VTH+ (-) (-) RX = (1) ITH+ (-) 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 conditions are met. If the denominator of equation (2) is positive, then V+ V- VTH+ and VTH- V+ - VTH+ < V- - VTH- ITH+ ITH- Conversely, if the denominator of equation (2) is negative, then V+ V- RX = VTH+ VTH- and V+ - VTH+ > V- - VTH- VTH- (V+) - VTH+ (V-) ITH+ ITH- (2) ITH+ (VTH-) - ITH- (VTH+) VTH- (V+) - VTH+ (V-) RP = (3) ITH+(V--VTH-)+ITH-(VTH+-V+) www.agilent.com/semiconductors For product information and a complete list of distributors, please go to our web site.
