Data Sheet
HCPL-0720, HCPL-7720, HCPL-0721,
and HCPL-7721
40-ns Propagation Delay, CMOS Optocoupler
Description
Features
Available in either an 8-pin DIP or SO-8 package style
respectively, the Broadcom® HCPL-772X or HCPL-072X
optocouplers utilize the latest CMOS IC technology to
achieve outstanding performance with very low power
consumption. The HCPL-772X/072X require only two
bypass capacitors for complete CMOS compatability.
Basic building blocks of the HCPL-772X/072X are a CMOS
LED driver IC, a high-speed LED, and a CMOS detector IC.
A CMOS logic input signal controls the LED driver IC, which
supplies current to the LED. The detector IC incorporates an
integrated photodiode, a high-speed transimpedance
amplifier, and a voltage comparator with an output driver.
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.
The components featured in this data sheet are
not to be used in military or aerospace
applications or environments.

All Broadcom data sheets report the creepage and clearance inherent to the optocoupler component itself. These
dimensions are needed as a starting point for the equipment designer when determining the circuit insulation requirements.
However, once mounted on a printed circuit board, minimum creepage and clearance requirements must be met as specified
for individual equipment standards. For creepage, the shortest distance path along the surface of a printed circuit board
between the solder fillets of the input and output leads must be considered. There are recommended techniques such as
grooves and ribs, which may be used on a printed circuit board to achieve desired creepage and clearances. Creepage and
clearance distances will also change depending on factors such as pollution degree and insulation level.

a. tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 50% level on the falling edge of the VI signal to the 50% level of the falling edge of the VO signal.
tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 50% level on the rising edge of the VI signal to the 50% level of the rising edge of the VO signal.
b. PWD is defined as |tPHL – tPLH|. %PWD (percent pulse width distortion) is equal to the PWD divided by pulse width.
c. tPSK is equal to the magnitude of the worst-case difference in tPHL and/or tPLH that will be seen between units at any given temperature within
the recommended operating conditions.
d. CMH is the maximum common mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining VO > 0.8VDD2. CML is the maximum common
mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining VO < 0.8V. The common mode voltage slew rates apply to both rising and
falling common mode voltage edges.
e. Unloaded dynamic power dissipation is calculated as follows: CPD × VDD2 × f + IDD × VDD, where f is switching frequency in MHz.

Application Information
Bypassing and PC Board Layout
The HCPL-772X/072X optocouplers are extremely easy to use. No external interface circuitry is required because the HCPL772X/072X use high-speed CMOS IC technology allowing CMOS logic to be connected directly to the inputs and outputs.
As shown in Figure 10, the only external components required for proper operation are two bypass capacitors. Capacitor
values should be between 0.01 μF and 0.1 μF. Each capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the input and output
power-supply pins of the optocoupler.

Digital Field Bus Communication Networks
To date, despite its many drawbacks, the 4 mA to 20 mA analog current loop has been the most widely accepted standard
for implementing process control systems. In today’s manufacturing environment, however, automated systems are
expected to help manage the process, not merely monitor it. With the advent of digital field bus communication networks
such as CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, and Smart Distributed Systems (SDS), gone are the days of constrained
information. Controllers can now receive multiple readings from field devices (sensors, actuators, etc.) in addition to
diagnostic information.
The physical model for each of these digital field bus communication networks is very similar as shown in Figure 11. Each
includes one or more buses, an interface unit, optical isolation, transceiver, and sensing and/or actuating devices.

Optical Isolation for Field Bus Networks
To recognize the full benefits of these networks, Broadcom optocouplers are recommended to provide galvanic isolation. As
network communication is bidirectional (involving receiving data from and transmitting data onto the network), two Broadcom
optocouplers are needed. By providing galvanic isolation, data integrity is retained via noise reduction and the elimination of
false signals. In addition, the network receives maximum protection from power system faults and ground loops.
Within an isolated node, such as the DeviceNet Node shown in Figure 12, some of the node's components are referenced
to a ground other than V– of the network.
These components could include such things as devices with serial ports, parallel ports, RS-232 and RS-485 type ports. As
shown in Figure 12, power from the network is used only for the transceiver and input (network) side of the optocouplers.
Isolation of nodes connected to any of the three types of digital field bus networks is best achieved by using the HCPL-772X/
072X optocouplers. For each network, the HCPL-772X/072X satisify the critical propagation delay and pulse width distortion
requirements over the temperature range of 0°C to +85°C, and power supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V.

Implementing CC-Link with the HCPL-772X/072X
CC-Link (Control and Communication Link) is developed to merge control and information in the low-level network (field
network) by PCs, thereby making the multivendor environment a reality. It has data control and message-exchange function,
as well as bit control function, and operates at the speed up to 10 Mb/s.
The recommended CC-Link circuit is shown in Figure 13. Since the HCPL-772X/072X are fully compatible with CMOS logic
level signals, the optocoupler is connected directly to the transceiver. Two bypass capacitors (with values between 0.01 μF
and 0.1 μF) are required and should be located as close as possible to the input and output power supply pins of the HCPL772X/072X. The bypass capacitors are required because of the high-speed digital nature of the signals inside the
optocoupler.

Implementing DeviceNet and SDS with the HCPL-772X/072X
With transmission rates up to 1 Mb/s, both DeviceNet and SDS are based upon the same broadcast-oriented,
communications protocol: the Controller Area Network (CAN). Three types of isolated nodes are recommended for use on
these networks: Isolated Node Powered by the Network (Figure 14), Isolated Node with Transceiver Powered by the
Network (Figure 19), and Isolated Node Providing Power to the Network (Figure 16).
Isolated Node Powered by the Network
This type of node is very flexible and as can be seen in Figure 14, is regarded as isolated because not all of its components
have the same ground reference. Yet, all components are still powered by the network. This node contains two regulators:
one is isolated and powers the CAN controller, node-specific application and isolated (node) side of the two optocouplers
while the other is non-isolated. The non-isolated regulator supplies the transceiver and the non-isolated (network) half of the
two optocouplers.

Isolated Node with Transceiver Powered by the Network
Figure 15 shows a node powered by both the network and another source. In this case, the transceiver and isolated
(network) side of the two optocouplers are powered by the network. The rest of the node is powered by the AC line which is
very beneficial when an application requires a significant amount of power. This method is also desirable as it does not
heavily load the network.
More importantly, the unique dual-inverting design of the HCPL-772X/072X ensure the network will not lock- up if either AC
line power to the node is lost or the node powered-off. Specifically, when input power (VDD1) to the HCPL-772X/072X located
in the transmit path is eliminated, a RECESSIVE bus state is ensured as the HCPL-772X/ 072X output voltage (VO) go HIGH.
Bus V+ Sensing*
It is suggested that the Bus V+ sense block shown in Figure 15 be implemented. A locally powered node with an unpowered
isolated Physical Layer will accumulate errors and become bus-off if it attempts to transmit. The Bus V+ sense signal would
be used to change the BOI attribute of the DeviceNet Object to the auto-reset (01) value. Refer to Volume 1, Section 5.5.3.
This would cause the node to continually reset until bus power was detected. Once power was detected, the BOI attribute
would be returned to the hold in bus-off (00) value. The BOI attribute should not be left in the auto-reset (01) value since this
defeats the jabber protection capability of the CAN error confinement. Any inexpensive low-frequency optical isolator can be
used to implement this feature.

Isolated Node Providing Power to the Network
Figure 16 shows a node providing power to the network. The AC line powers a regulator which provides 5V locally. The AC
line also powers a 24V isolated supply, which powers the network, and another 5V regulator, which, in turn, powers the
transceiver and isolated (network) side of the two optocouplers. This method is recommended when there is a limited
number of devices on the network, which do not require much power, thus eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
More importantly, the unique dual-inverting design of the HCPL-772X/072X ensure the network will not lock- up if either AC
line power to the node is lost or the node powered-off. Specifically, when input power (VDD1) to the HCPL-772X/072X located
in the transmit path is eliminated, a RECESSIVE bus state is ensured as the HCPL-772X/ 072X output voltage (VO) go HIGH.

Implementing PROFIBUS with the HCPL-772X/072X
An acronym for Process Fieldbus, PROFIBUS is essentially a twisted-pair serial link very similar to RS-485 capable of
achieving high-speed communication up to 12 MBd. As shown in Figure 18, a PROFIBUS Controller (PBC) establishes the
connection of a field automation unit (control or central processing station) or a field device to the transmission medium. The
PBC consists of the line transceiver, optical isolation, frame character transmitter/receiver (UART), and the FDL/APP
processor with the interface to the PROFIBUS user.

The recommended PROFIBUS application circuit is shown in Figure 19. Since the HCPL-772X/072X are fully compatible
with CMOS logic level signals, the optocoupler is connected directly to the transceiver. Two bypass capacitors (with values
between 0.01 μF and 0.1 μF) are required and should be located as close as possible to the input and output power-supply
pins of the HCPL-772X/072X. The bypass capacitors are required because of the high-speed digital nature of the signals
inside the optocoupler.
Being very similar to multistation RS485 systems, the HCPL-061N optocoupler provides a transmit disable function which is
necessary to make the bus free after each master/slave transmission cycle. Specifically, the HCPL-061N disables the
transmitter of the line driver by putting it into a high state mode. In addition, the HCPL-061N switches the RX/TX driver IC
into the listen mode. The HCPL-061N offers HCMOS compatibility and the high CMR performance (1 kV/μs at VCM = 1000V)
essential in industrial communication interfaces.
