products are capable of operation
and storage over the full military
temperature range and can be
purchased as either standard
product or with full MIL-PRF-
38534 Class Level H or K testing
or from the DESC Drawing 5962-
96852. All devices are
manufactured and tested on a
MIL-PRF-38534 certified line and
are included in the DESC
Qualified Manufacturers List
QML-38534 for Hybrid Micro-
circuits. Minimized propagation
delay difference between devices
make these optocouplers excellent
solutions for improving inverter
efficiency through reduced
switching dead time. An on chip
20 k output pull-up resistor can
be enabled by shorting output
pins 6 and 7, thus eliminating the
need for an external pull-up
resistor in common IPM applica-
tions. Specifications and

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 14. The HCPL-
5300/5301 improves 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 opto-
coupler output pins and output
ground as shown in Figure 15.
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 13), can achieve 10 kV/µs
CMR while minimizing compo-
nent complexity. Note that a
CMOS gate is recommended in
Figure 13 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 15. Many factors
influence the effect and magni-
tude 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 1) to achieve 10 kV/µs
CMR. Capacitive coupling is
higher when the internal load
resistor is used (due to CLEDO2)
and an IF= 16mA is required to
obtain 10 kV/µs CMR.
The placement of the LED
current setting resistor affects 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 16 is connected to the
anode. Figure 17 shows the AC
equivalent circuit for Figure 16
during common mode transients.
During a +dVCM/dt in Figure 17,
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 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 13) places the
current setting resistor in series
with the LED cathode. Figure 18
is the AC equivalent circuit for
Figure 13 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 13), 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
(VFVF(OFF)) during common
mode transients. For example,
during a +dVCM/dt transient in
Figure 18, 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
1-506
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 13)
provides about 10 V of margin
between the lowest optocoupler
output voltage and a 3 V IPM
threshold during a 10 kV/µs
transient with VCM = 1000 V.
Additional margin can be
obtained by adding a diode in
parallel with the resistor, as
shown by the dashed line connec-
tion in Figure 18, to clamp the
voltage across the LED below
VF(OFF).
Since the open collector drive
circuit, shown in Figure 19,
cannot keep the LED off during a
+dVCM/dt transient, it is not
desirable for applications
requiring ultra high CMRH
performance. Figure 20 is the AC
equivalent circuit for Figure 16
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 21 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
These devices 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 22) 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 character-
istics 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 propaga-
tion delay waveforms, as shown
in Figure 23. A minimum dead
time of zero is achieved in Figure
23 when the signal to turn on
LED2 is delayed by (tPLH max -
tPHL min) from the LED1 turn off.
This delay is the maximum value
for the propagation delay
difference specification which is
specified at 500 ns for the HCPL-
5300/5301 over an operating
temperature range of -55°C to
+125°C.
Delaying the LED signal by the
maximum propagation delay
difference ensures that the mini-
mum 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 24. 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-
5300/5301 is 670 ns (= 500 ns -
(-170 ns)) over an operating
temperature range of -55°C to
+125°C.
