Device considered a two-terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together. 7. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage 3000 V rms for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, II-O 5 A). This test is performed before the 100% Production test shown in the VDE 0884 Insulation Related Characteristics Table, if applicable. 1-56 8. For option 020, 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 VDE 0884 Insulation Related Characteristics Table, if applicable. 9. Pulse: f = 20 kHz, Duty Cycle = 10%. 10. The internal 20 k resistor can be used by shorting pins 6 and 7 together. 11. Due to tolerance of the internal resistor, and since propagation delay is dependent on the load resistor value, performance can be improved by using an external 20 k 1% load resistor. For more information on how propagation delay varies with load resistance, see Figure 12. 12. The RL = 20 k, CL = 100 pF load represents a typical IPM (Intelligent Power Module) load. 13. See Option 020 data sheet for more information. 14. Use of a 0.1 F bypass capacitor connected between pins 5 and 8 can improve performance by filtering power supply line noise. 15.

LED Drive Circuit Considerations for Ultra High CMR Performance Without a detector shield, the dominant cause of optocoupler CMR failure is capacitive coupling from the input side of the optocoupler, through the package, to the detector IC as shown in Figure 20. The HCPL-4506, HCPL-0466 and HCNW4506 improve CMR performance 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 capacitive coupling between the LED and the optocoupler output pins and output ground as shown in Figure 21. 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 19), can achieve 15 kV/s CMR while minimizing component complexity. Note that a CMOS gate is recommended in Figure 19 to keep the LED off when the gate is in the high state. Another cause of CMR failure for a shielded optocoupler is direct coupling to the optocoupler output pins through CLEDO1 and CLEDO2 in Figure 21. Many factors influence the effect and magnitude of the direct coupling including: the use of an internal or external output pull-up resistor, the position of the LED current setting resistor, the connection of the unused input package pins, and the value of the capacitor at the optocoupler output (CL). Techniques to keep the LED in the proper state and minimize the effect of the direct coupling are discussed in the next two sections. CMR with the LED On (CMRL ) A high CMR LED drive circuit must keep the LED on during common mode transients. This is achieved by overdriving the LED current beyond the input threshold so that it is not pulled below the threshold during a transient. The recommended minimum LED current of 10 mA provides adequate margin over the maximum ITH of 5.0 mA (see Figure 5) to achieve 15 kV/s CMR. Capacitive coupling is higher when the internal load resistor is used (due to CLEDO2) and an IF = 16 mA is required to obtain 10 kV/s CMR. The placement of the LED current setting resistor effects the ability of the drive circuit to keep the LED on during transients and interacts with the direct coupling to the optocoupler output. For example, the LED resistor in Figure 22 is connected to the anode. Figure 23 shows the AC equivalent circuit for Figure 22 during common mode transients. During a +dVcm/dt in Figure 23, the current available at the LED anode (Itotal) is limited by the series resistor. The LED current (IF) is reduced from its DC value by an amount equal to the current that flows through CLEDP and CLEDO1. The situation is made worse 1-61 because the current through CLEDO1 has the effect of trying to pull the output high (toward a CMR failure) at the same time the LED current is being reduced. For this reason, the recommended LED drive circuit (Figure 19) places the current setting resistor in series with the LED cathode. Figure 24 is the AC equivalent circuit for Figure 19 during common mode transients. In this case, the LED current is not reduced during a +dVcm/dt transient because the current flowing through the package capacitance is supplied by the power supply. During a -dVcm/dt transient, however, the LED current is reduced by the amount of current flowing through CLEDN. But, better CMR performance is achieved since the current flowing in CLEDO1 during a negative transient acts to keep the output low. Coupling to the LED and output pins is also affected by the connection of pins 1 and 4. If CMR is limited by perturbations in the LED on current, as it is for the recommended drive circuit (Figure 19), pins 1 and 4 should be connected to the input circuit common. However, if CMR performance is limited by direct coupling to the output when the LED is off, pins 1 and 4 should be left unconnected. CMR with the LED Off (CMRH) A high CMR LED drive circuit must keep the LED off (VF VF(OFF)) during common mode transients. For example, during a +dVcm/dt transient in Figure 24, the current flowing through CLEDN is supplied by the parallel combination of the LED and series resistor. As long as the voltage developed across the resistor is less than VF(OFF) the LED will remain off and no common mode failure will occur. Even if the LED momentarily turns on, the 100 pF capacitor from pins 6-5 will keep the output from dipping below the threshold. The recommended LED drive circuit (Figure 19) provides about 10 V of margin between the lowest optocoupler output voltage and a 3 V IPM threshold 1-62 during a 15 kV/s transient with VCM = 1500 V. Additional margin can be obtained by adding a diode in parallel with the resistor, as shown by the dashed line connection in Figure 24, to clamp the voltage across the LED below VF(OFF). Since the open collector drive circuit, shown in Figure 25, cannot keep the LED off during a +dVcm/ dt transient, it is not desirable for applications requiring ultra high CMRH performance. Figure 26 is the AC equivalent circuit for Figure 25 during common mode transients. Essentially all the current flowing through CLEDN during a +dVcm/dt transient must be supplied by the LED. CMRH failures can occur at dV/dt rates where the current through the LED and CLEDN exceeds the input threshold. Figure 27 is an alternative drive circuit which does achieve ultra high CMR performance by shunting the LED in the off state. IPM Dead Time and Propagation Delay Specifications The HCPL-4506, HCPL-0466 and HCNW4506 include a Propagation Delay Difference specification intended to help designers minimize "dead time" in their power inverter designs. Dead time is the time period during which both the high and low side power transistors (Q1 and Q2 in Figure 28) are off. Any overlap in Q1 and Q2 conduction will result in large currents flowing through the power devices between the high and low voltage motor rails. To minimize dead time the designer must consider the propagation delay characteristics of the optocoupler as well as the characteristics of the IPM IGBT gate drive circuit. Considering only the delay characteristics of the optocoupler (the characteristics of the IPM IGBT gate drive circuit can be analyzed in the same way) it is important to know the minimum and maximum turn-on (tPHL) and turn-off (tPLH) propagation delay specifications, preferably over the desired operating temperature range. The limiting case of zero dead time occurs when the input to Q1 turns off at the same time that the input to Q2 turns on. This case determines the minimum delay between LED1 turn-off and LED2 turn-on, which is related to the worst case optocoupler propagation delay waveforms, as shown in Figure 29. A minimum dead time of zero is achieved in Figure 29 when the signal to turn on LED2 is delayed by (tPLH max - tPHL min) from the LED1 turn off. Note that the propagation delays used to calculate PDD are taken at equal temperatures since the optocouplers under consideration are typically mounted in close proximity to each other. (Specifically, tPLH max and tPHL min in the previous equation are not the same as the tPLH max and tPHL min, over the full operating temperature range, specified in the data sheet.) This delay is the maximum value for the propagation delay difference specification which is specified at 450 ns for the HCPL-4506, HCPL0466 and HCNW4506 over an operating temperature range of -40C to 100C. Delaying the LED signal by the maximum propagation delay difference ensures that the minimum dead time is zero, but it does not tell a designer what the maximum dead time will be. The maximum dead time occurs in the highly unlikely case where one optocoupler with the fastest tPLH and another with the slowest tPHL are in the same inverter leg. The maximum dead time in this case becomes the sum of the spread in the tPLH and tPHL propagation delays as shown in Figure 30. The maximum dead time is also equivalent to the difference between the maximum and minimum propagation delay difference specifications. The maximum dead time (due to the optocouplers) for the HCPL-4506, HCPL-0466 and HCNW4506 is 600 ns (= 450 ns (-150 ns)) over an operating temperature range of -40C to 100C.
