-xxxE denotes a lead-free product
Description
Available in either an 8-pin DIP or SO-8 package style
respectively, the HCPL-7710 or HCPL-0710 optocouplers
utilize the latest CMOS IC technology to achieve outstanding performance with very low power consumption. The
HCPL-x710 require only two bypass capacitors for complete
CMOS compatibility.
Basic building blocks of the HCPL-x710 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.

Notes:
1. The LED is ON when VI is low and OFF when VI is high.
2. 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.
3. Mimimum Pulse Width is the shortest pulse width at which 10% maximum, Pulse Width Distortion can be guaranteed. Maximum Data Rate is
the inverse of Minimum Pulse Width. Operating the HCPL-x710 at data rates above 12.5 MBd is possible provided PWD and data dependent
jitter increases and relaxed noise margins are tolerable within the application. For instance, if the maximum allowable variation of bit width is
30%, the maximum data rate becomes 37.5 MBd. Note: HCPL-x710 performances above 12.5 MBd are not guaranteed by Avago.
4. PWD is defined as |tPHL - tPLH|. %PWD (percent pulse width distortion) is equal to the PWD divided by pulse width.
5. 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.
6. CMH is the maximum common mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining VO > 0.8 VDD2. CML is the maximum common
mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining VO < 0.8 V. The common mode voltage slew rates apply to both rising and
falling common mode voltage edges.
7. Unloaded dynamic power dissipation is calculated as follows: CPD * VDD2 * f + IDD * VDD, where f is switching frequency in MHz.
8. Device considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
9. In accordance with UL1577, each HCPL-0710 is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥4500 VRMS for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, II-O ≤5 µA). Each HCPL-7710 is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 4500 VRMS for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA).
10. The Input-Output Momentary Withstand Voltage is a dielectric voltage rating that should not be interpreted as an input-output continuous
voltage rating. For the continuous voltage rating refer to your equipment level safety specification or Avago Application Note 1074 entitled
“Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance Voltage.”
11. CI is the capacitance measured at pin 2 (VI).

Application Information
Bypassing and PC Board Layout
The HCPL-x710 optocouplers are extremely easy to
use. No external interface circuitry is required because
the HCPL-x710 use high-speed CMOS IC technology
allowing CMOS logic to be connected directly to the
inputs and outputs.
As shown in Figure 12, the only external components
VDD1
VDD2

required for proper operation are two bypass capacitors.
Capacitor values should be between 0.01 µF and 0.1 µF.
For each capacitor, the total lead length between both
ends of the capacitor and the power-supply pins should
not exceed 20 mm. Figure 13 illustrates the recommended printed circuit board layout for the HPCL-x710.

Propagation Delay, Pulse-Width Distortion and Propagation Delay
Skew
Propagation Delay is a figure of meritHCPL-0710
that describes
fig 12
how quickly a logic signal propagates through a
system. The propagation delay from low to high (tPLH)
is the amount of time required for an input signal to
propagate to the output, causing the output to change

from low to high. Similarly, the propagation delay from
high to low (tPHL) is the amount of time required for the
input signal to propagate to the output, causing the
output to change from high to low. See Figure 14.

Pulse-width distortion (PWD) is the difference between
tPHL and tPLH and often determines the maximum data
rate capability of a transmission system. PWD can be
expressed in percent by dividing the PWD (in ns) by
the minimum pulse width (in ns) being transmitted.
Typically, PWD on the order of 20 - 30% of the minimum
pulse width is tolerable. The PWD specification for the
HCPL-x710 is 8 ns (10%) maximum across recommended operating condi
tions. 10% maximum is dictated
by the most stringent of the three fieldbus standards,
PROFIBUS.
Propagation delay skew is defined as the difference between the minimum and maximum propa
gation delays, either tPLH or tPHL, for any given group
of optocoup
lers that are operating under the same
conditions (i.e., the same drive current, supply voltage,
output load, and operating temperature). As illustrated
in Figure 15,if the inputs of a group of optocouplers
are switched either ON or OFF at the same time, tPSK is
the difference between the shortest propagation delay,
either tPLH or tPHL, and the longest propagation delay,
either tPLH or tPHL.
Propagation delay skew, tPSK, is an important parameter
to consider in parallel data applications where synchronization of signals on parallel data lines is a concern. If
the parallel data is being sent through a group of optocouplers, differences in propagation delays will cause
the data to arrive at the outputs of the optocouplers at
different times. If this difference in propagation delay
is large enough it will determine the maximum rate at
which parallel data can be sent through the optocouplers.
As mentioned earlier, tPSK can determine the maximum
parallel data transmission rate. Figure 16 is the timing
diagram of a typical parallel data application with both
the clock and data lines being sent through the optocouplers. The figure shows data and clock signals at the
inputs and outputs of the optocouplers. In this case, the
data is assumed to be clocked off of the rising edge of
the clock.

Figure 16. Parallel data transmission example
Propagation delay skew repre
sents the uncertainty of where an edge might be after being sent
through an optocoupler. Figure 16 shows that there
will be uncertainty in both the data and clock lines.
These two areas of uncertainty must not overlap;
otherwise, the clock signal might arrive before all of
the data outputs have settled, or some of the data
outputs may start to change before the clock signal
has arrived. From these considerations, the absolute
minimum pulse width that can be sent through op-
tocouplers in a parallel application is twice tPSK.
A cautious design should use a slightly longer pulse
width to ensure that any additional uncertainty in the
rest of the circuit does not cause a problem.

The HCPL-x710 optocouplers offer the advantage of
guaranteed specifications for propagation delays,
pulse-width distortion, and propagation delay skew
over the recommended temperature, and power supply
ranges.
Digital Field Bus Communication Networks
To date, despite its many drawbacks, the 4 - 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
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 17. 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, Avago
optocouplers are recom
mended to provide galvanic
isolation. As network communication is bi-directional (involving receiving data from and transmitting
data onto the network), two Avago 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 18, some of the node’s components are
referenced to a ground other than V- of the network.
12
These components could include such things as devices
with serial ports, parallel ports, RS-232 and RS-485 type
ports. As shown in Figure 18, 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-x710 optocouplers. For each network, the
HCPL-x710 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 4.5 V to 5.5 V.

Implementing DeviceNet and SDS with the HCPL‑x710
Isolated Node Powered by the Network
With transmission rates up to 1 Mbit/s, both DeviceNet
and SDS are based upon the same broadcast-oriented,
communica
tions 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 19), Isolated Node
with Transceiver Powered by the Network (Figure 20),
and Isolated Node Providing Power to the Network
(Figure 21).
This type of node is very flexible and as can be seen in
Figure 19, 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 20 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-x710 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-x710 located in the transmit path is eliminated, a RECESSIVE bus state is ensured as the HCPL‑x710
output voltage (VO) go HIGH.
*Bus V+ Sensing
It is suggested that the Bus V+ sense block shown in
Figure 20 be implemented. A locally powered node with
an un-powered 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 21 shows a node providing power to the
network. The AC line powers a regulator which provides
5 V locally. The AC line also powers a 24 V isolated
supply, which powers the network, and another 5 V
regulator, which, in turn, powers the transceiver and
isolated (network) side of the two optocouplers. This
method is recommended when there are a limited
number of devices on the network that do not require
much power, thus eliminating the need for separate
power supplies.
More importantly, the unique “dual-inverting” design
of the HCPL-x710 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-x710 located in the transmit path is eliminated, a RECESSIVE bus state is ensured as the HCPL‑x710

Implementing PROFIBUS with the HCPL-x710
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 23, 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.

Being very similar to multi-station RS485 systems, the
HCPL-061N optocoupler provides a transmit disable
function that 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 = 1000 V)
essential in industrial communication interfaces.
