ACPL-C87AT/ACPL-C87BT
Automotive High Precision DC Voltage Isolation
Sensor
Description
The Broadcom® ACPL-C87AT/C87BT isolation sensors
utilize superior optical coupling technology, with sigma-delta
(-) analog-to-digital converter, chopper stabilized
amplifiers, and a fully differential circuit topology to provide
unequaled isolation-mode noise rejection, low offset, high
gain accuracy and stability.
Features
ACPL-C87AT (±1% gain tolerance) and ACPL-C87BT
(±0.5% gain tolerance) are designed for high precision DC
voltage sensing in electronic motor drives, DC/DC and
AC/DC converter and battery monitoring system. The
ACPL-C87AT/C87BT features high input impedance and
operate with full span of analog input voltage up to 2.46V.
The shutdown feature provides power saving and can be
controlled from external source, such as microprocessor.
The high common-mode transient immunity (15 kV/µs) of
the ACPL-C87AT/C87BT maintains the precision and
stability needed to accurately monitor DC rail voltage in high
noise motor control environments. This galvanic safe
isolation solution is delivered in a compact, surface mount
stretched SO-8 (SSO-8) package that meets worldwide
regulatory safety standards.
Broadcom R2Coupler® isolation products provide the
reinforced insulation and reliability needed for critical
automotive and high temperature industrial applications.

Automotive High Precision DC Voltage Isolation Sensor
Application Information
The circuit shown in the Figure 28 is a high voltage sensing application using ACPL-C87AT/BT (isolation amplifier) and
ACPL-M49T (optocoupler). The high voltage input is sensed by the precision voltage divider resistors R1 and sensing
resistor R2. The ratio of the voltage divider is determined by the allowable input range of the isolation amplifier (0 to 2 V).
This small analog input goes through a 39Ω and 10 nF anti aliasing filter (ACPL-C87AT/BT use - modulation).
Inside the isolation amplifier: the analog input signal is digitized and optically transmitted to the output side of the amplifier.
The detector will then decode the signal and converted back to analog signal. The output differential signals of
ACPL-C87AT/BT go through an op-amp to convert the differential signals to a single ended output.

Anti-aliasing Filter
A 39Ω resistor and a 10-nF capacitor are recommended to
be connected to the input (VIN) as anti-aliasing filter
because ACPL-C87AT/BT uses sigma data modulation
(Figure 30). The value of the capacitor must be greater than
1 nF and bandwidth must be less than 410 kHz.
Figure 30: Anti-aliasing Filter C1, R3
Automotive High Precision DC Voltage Isolation Sensor
To reduce the voltage stress of a sole resistor, R1 can be a
series of several resistors.
Post Amplifier Circuit
The output of ACPL-C87AT/BT is a differential output
(VOUT+ and VOUT- pins). A post amplifier circuit is needed to
convert the differential output to single ended output with a
reference ground. The post amplifier circuit can also be
configured to establish a desired gain if needed. It also
functions as filter to high frequency chopper noise. The
bandwidth can be adjusted by changing the feedback
resistor and capacitor (R7 and C7). Adjusting this bandwidth
to a minimum level helps minimize the output noise.
Post op-amp resistive loading (R4, R5) should be equal or
greater than 20 kΩ (Figure 31). Resistor values lower than
this can affect the overall system error due to output
impedance of isolation amplifier.

Designing the Input Resistor Divider
1. Choose the sensing current (Isense) for bus voltage; for
example, 1 mA.
2. Determine R2,

3. Determine R1 using voltage divider formula:
(V+ – V-) x

R1 + R2
(V+ – V-) xR2

Voltage input range
where (V+ – V-) is the high voltage input; for example,
0 to 600V,
R1 =
The application circuit in Figure 28 features two op-amps to
improve the linearity at voltage near 0V caused by the
limited headroom of the amplifier. The second op-amp can
set the reference voltage to above 0V.
Shutdown Function
ACPL-C87AT/BT has a shutdown function to disable the
device and make the output (VOUT+ – VOUT-) low. A voltage
of 5V on SHDN pin will shutdown the device producing an
output (VOUT+ – VOUT-) of –2.6V. To be able to control the
SHDN function (example, from microprocessor), an
optocoupler (ACPL-M49T) is used.
Total System Error
Total system error is the sum of the resistor divider error,
isolation amplifier error and post amplifier error. The resistor
divider error is due to the accuracy of the resistors used. It
is recommended to use high accuracy resistor of 0.1%. Post
amplifier error is due to the resistor matching and the
voltage offset characteristic which can be found on the
supplier data sheet.
Isolation Amplifier Error is shown in the following table.

PCB Layout Recommendations
Bypass capacitor C2 and C4 must be located close to
ACPL-C87xT Pins 1 and Pin 8 respectively. Grounded pins
of C4 and C5 can be connected by vias through the
respective ground layers. If the design has multiple layers,
a dedicated layer for ground is recommended for flexibility
in component placement.
Anti aliasing filters R3 and C1 also need to be connected as
close as possible to Pin 2 of ACPL-C87AT/BT. See
Figure 32 for actual component placement of the
anti-aliasing filter and bypass capacitors.
Figure 32: Component Placement Recommendation
GND1 and GND2 must be totally isolated in the PCB layout
(Figure 33). Distance of separation depends on the high
voltage level of the equipment. The higher the voltage level,
the larger the distance of separation needed. Designers can
refer to specific IEC standard of their equipment for the
creepage/clearance requirements.
R1, which is directly connected to the high voltage input,
must have sufficient clearance with the low voltage
components. Clearance depends on the high voltage level
of the input. Designers can refer to specific IEC standards of
their equipment for the clearance requirements.
