2. Introduction
The CPC1580 Isolated Gate Driver uses an efficient
optocoupler design to provide remote gate drive
current to a MOSFET, while providing 3750Vrms of
isolation between the LED control current input and
the MOSFET gate drive output. The CPC1580 is used
in conjunction with a MOSFET transistor for remote
switching of DC loads (Figure 1) and two MOSFETS
and a diode at low-frequency AC rates (Figure 2)
where isolated power is unavailable.
By selecting a few external components, the charge
capacitor and resistors, the designer has control over
the operating parameters of the CPC1580 circuit, and
can customize the circuit to accommodate the
requirements of a wide selection of MOSFETs.
The designer just needs to know the MOSFET total
gate charge (QG), and with this information a capacitor
can be chosen. The capacitance of the storage
capacitor, CST, should be greater than or equal to QG.
3. Functional Description
The CPC1580 is operational when sufficient input
control current is flowing, the LED is turned on, and
the gate current is flowing. The LED illuminates the
photovoltaics (converts light into electrical power, or
photocurrent), which provides current to turn on the
NPN bipolar transistor. The NPN transistor then allows
for charge to go to the gate of the MOSFET. When an
external storage capacitor is added to the CPC1580,
the photocurrent that is produced turns on the NPN
bipolar transistor and provides the charge (I x t = Q)
plus the charge of the capacitor to turn on the
MOSFET rapidly. If sufficient input control current is
not flowing, the LED is turned off, and gate current is
not flowing. The LED is off due to the VF<< the
minimum forward voltage required and not enough
current being applied. This turns on the PNP bipolar
transistor, which provides a path for QG to discharge to
VS.
When VL is first applied, the external storage capacitor
begins to charge. The value of the storage capacitor
should be equal to or greater than the MOSFET gate
capacitance: this will ensure proper operation. The
charge is sent through a bootstrap diode to prevent
the charge from escaping and discharging through a
turned-on MOSFET. The input control current is
applied, then the charge is transferred from the
storage capacitor through the NPN bipolar transistor,
6
along with the charge from the photovoltaics, to the
MOSFET gate to accomplish a rapid turn-on. After the
capacitor has discharged and the MOSFET has
turned on, the photocurrent from the input optocoupler
continues to flow into the gate to keep the MOSFET
turned on.
When the input control current is removed, the gate
current stops flowing and the PNP bipolar transistor is
on and is discharging the MOSFET gate. The
MOSFET is now off. At this point, the capacitor begins
to recharge for the next turn-on cycle.
4. Device Configuration
4.1 LED Resistor
LED resistor selection should comply with the
recommended operating conditions. This will provide
reliability to the design, and should help with
temperature. The CPC1580 is capable of being
operated at up to the maximum ratings, but this is not
recommended. It will shorten the life-span of the
device and could cause temperature problems that will
produce inaccuracies. The reason for using a higher IF
current is to provide for faster turn-on. Proper design
will have to be used to decide on the needs of the
application. The equation used to calculate the
resistor value:
RLED =
•
•
•
•
VIN - VF
IF
IF = Input Control Current
VIN = Input Power Source
VF = Forward Voltage Drop of LED
RLED = Input Resistor connected to LED
4.2 Storage Capacitor Selection
The storage capacitor (CST) enables the part to turn
on quickly by holding a reservoir of charge to be
transferred to the gate of the MOSFET. The turn-off
cycle does not depend on the storage capacitor.
The equation used to calculate the value of the charge
storage capacitor is:
www.ixysic.com
CST >
QG
VLOAD - VCAP
(FARADS)
R01
INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DIVISION
CPC1580
Where VCAP > 15V and QG is the total gate charge
(listed in the MOSFET data sheet).
The storage capacitor needs to deliver enough charge
to the gate without going below the 15V required for
switching the MOSFET. This means that VLOAD must
equal, at a minimum, 15.7V. The part can operate at a
lower voltage, but the MOSFETs will be turned on
slowly.
The proper selection of a capacitor is important. The
rated voltage should be at least two to three times the
VCAP . The extra margin is important because some
capacitors lose capacitance when operated at their full
rated voltages. When selecting a capacitor, be sure to
add in their tolerance because of capacitor drift. For
example:
• CST = 1F, 20% tolerance; VCAP = 15V
• 1F x 20% = 0.2F
• 1F + 0.2F = 1.2F
Capacitance drift can also be due to temperature and
the dielectrics used. Therefore, the required capacitor
value is 12F or next higher value, and the capacitor
voltage rating must be at least 30 volts. It is
recommended to go higher in the voltage rating if
engineering restraints permit, such as 50V.
Temperature requirements for capacitors are
application-specific. The designer must know the
intended operating temperature when selecting
capacitors. The information given above should be
applied to other capacitors discussed in this data
sheet.
The CPC1580 can deliver 32nC at the rated operating
speed and will operate with much larger loads (>4F)
with slower turn-on and turn-off times.
Note: Care must be taken to minimize any
capacitor-to-ground leakage current path
between pins 7 and 8 (MOSFET gate current)
and between pins 5 and 6. Leakage currents will
discharge the storage capacitor and, even
though the device is already on, will become a
load to the photocurrent, which keeps the gate
voltage on. The gate voltage will be reduced if
>500nA of leakage is present, therefore the
combined impedance from pin 8 to pin 7, pin 5,
and pin 6, capacitor current, and MOSFET
current must be >20M over the temperature
rating of the part.
4.3 Transistor Selection
The CPC1580 charges and discharges an external
MOSFET transistor. The selection of the MOSFET is
determined by the user to meet the specific power
requirements for the load. The CPC1580 output
voltage is listed in the specifications, but as mentioned
earlier, there must be little or no gate leakage.
Another parameter that plays a significant role in the
selection of the transistor is the gate drive voltage
available from the part. The CPC1580 uses
photovoltaic cells to collect the optical energy
generated by the LED; to generate more voltage, the
photovoltaic diodes are stacked. The voltage change
of the photovoltaic stack reduces with increased
temperature. The user must select a transistor that will
maintain the load current at the maximum
temperature, given the VGS in Section 1.7, the
CPC1580 Table of Electrical Specifications.
The example circuits shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3
use “logic level” MOSFETs for each design to maintain
the load described.
4.3.1 Transistor Switching Characteristics
The primary characteristics of the application
switching are ton, toff, tRISE, tFALL, and the recovery
time of the storage capacitor, tCHG. These parameters
are dependent on the MOSFET selection and need to
be reviewed in light of the application requirements.
The CPC1580 turns on the MOSFET transistor to the
specified VGS after the ton delay. Similarly the toff delay
is the amount of time until the LED is turned off and
the capacitive load discharges to the level in the
CPC1580 specification. For MOSFETs with larger or
smaller required gate charge the ton and toff will be
proportionately faster and slower, but it is not a linear
relationship.

Where CRSS is the MOSFET gate-drain capacitance
(averaged over the switching voltage range) found in
the MOSFET data sheet, IG_SINK is the gate sinking
current of the CPC1580, and IG_SOURCE is the gate
driving ability. The maximum value of tRISE is limited
by the CPC1580 unloaded discharge characteristic
and should be reviewed in light of the final application
component selections if critical.
ROVP and COVP are optional over-voltage protection
elements that are present in the application circuit
diagram (see Figure 3).
The term inside the logarithm reflects the discharge
and recharge voltage on CST. For practical circuit
component selection, this can be simplified as
described above.
Use this information to calculate the maximum
switching frequency in Section 7 below.
The value for the charge time, tCHG, is due to external
component selection. The storage capacitor charge
recovery time (seconds) is computed as:
tCHG
~ - (400 + ROVP) • (CST + COVP) • ln
(
(VLOAD - VFINAL) • CST
QG
Note: The CPC1580 is ideal to use where
remote power is otherwise unavailable. If the
LED is also powered remotely, care must be
taken to ensure that parasitic transient signals
are reliably filtered from the input control signal.
Large transient currents will mutually couple
energy between cables and a simple R-C
filtering of the CPC1580 input may be sufficient
to suppress false turn-on.

5. CPC1580 Over-Voltage Protection
Over-voltage protection is generally required for the
CPC1580 because of parasitic inductance in the load,
wires, board traces, and axial leads of protectors.
Purely resistive loads or loads with low voltage
switching may be able to rely on the transistor to
handle any parasitic energy and thereby not require

protection for the CPC1580. For very low inductance
loads and traces, over-voltage suppression may be
handled with a simple R-C filter consisting of ROVP
and COVP, or by use of a free-wheeling diode (see
Figure 3). For more moderate load inductance, or
remote switching of a load (i.e. through a long cable) a
voltage suppressor can be used. For heavily inductive
loads only a free-wheeling diode, DOVP, connected

across the load element is recommended, see
Figure 3.
The consequence of increasing the gate-drain
effective capacitance is reduced dV/dt tolerance.
The energy not consumed in switching losses must be
absorbed by the over-voltage protection element. Most
protective devices are designed to withstand certain
peak power, in the case of a Transient Voltage
Suppressor (TVS); or maximum avalanche energy, in
the case of a MOSFET. Understanding the switching
losses and load dynamics is absolutely essential.
When used in a circuit with an inductive load,
precautions must be taken to prevent damage to the
circuit from inductively generated voltage spikes. The
circuit shown in Figure 3 includes such protection
across the inductive load.
5.1 Other Protection Techniques
One simple way to reduce the amount of stored
inductive energy is to increase the energy dissipated
in the switch. This can be accomplished by adding a
larger capacitor in parallel with the gate-drain
connection of the MOSFET, however care must be
taken so that the rise time and peak current do not
exceed the Safe Operating Area (SOA) rating of the
transistor.
Switching loads with higher inductance characteristics
requires consideration of other circuit protection
techniques, device ratings, or protector types. Of
paramount importance is that the designer know the
characteristics of the load being switched.

6. Application Switching Losses
During the transition intervals, the application and load
components change energy states and, in the
process, incur switching losses. The switching losses
are manifested as heat in the application circuit and
must be addressed by the designer to ensure that no
one component exceeds its power rating. The
designer must understand the details of the load
behavior in order to adequately size and protect the
application circuit. There are three general cases to
observe: (1) purely resistive loads,
R01
(2) inductive/resistive loads, and (3) loads with
significant capacitance. Inductors and capacitors are
energy storage elements that require special
consideration for switching.
During the switching periods, energy is conserved.
Inductors turning off transfer their stored energy to
MOSFET switching losses, to the capacitance of the
load and application circuit, and to the protector.
During the turn-on interval, the inductor energy is zero,
and so the capacitive energy in the load and parasitic
elements of the switching application must be

dissipated by the MOSFET, in order for the load to
change state.
The energy absorbed by the MOSFET for loads that
are more capacitive in nature occurs during the
MOSFET turn-on as opposed to the turn-off. The
energy absorbed by the MOSFET will be a function of
the load, the TVS (or other protector), and the
MOSFET drain capacitance. The MOSFET energy,
EFALL, in Joules is:

6.1 Resistive Load Losses: The Ideal Case
For purely resistive loads, the energy dissipated by
changing states occurs primarily in the MOSFET.

during rise time, in Joules, is:

• tRISE
The average power of the MOSFET for any load type
in Watts is:
PAVG = ILOAD2 • RDSAT • D + fSWITCH • (ERISE + EFALL)
Where fSWITCH is the application switching frequency;
RDSAT is the MOSFET’s on-resistance; D is the
switch's operational duty cycle: D = ton/(ton+toff); and
EFALL is MOSFET energy dissipation during fall time,
in Joules.
6.2 Inductive/Resistive Loads
If the load is resistive and inductive, and the
inductance doesn't saturate, the load current during
turn off, tRISE, in Amps is:

• (CTVS + COSS + CLOAD) • VLOAD2
COSS is the MOSFET output capacitance found in the
data sheet. As mentioned earlier, the MOSFET
switching losses occur at different times, either rising
or falling, so loads with a combination of inductance
and capacitance can also be calculated by the energy
equations described above.
6.4 dV/dt Characteristics
The application circuit shown in Figure 1 dissipates
significant energy caused by large dV/dt events. Fault
voltages across the MOSFET will turn it on for the
same reason the part turns off slowly. For dV/dt events
> IG_SINK/CRSS (from Equation 2) the application
circuit will dissipate energy proportional to the CRSS
and gFS (forward conductance) of the selected
transistor. CRSS is a function of the transistor's
on-resistance and current/power capability, so higher
load designs are more sensitive.
The CPC1580 provides an internal clamp to protect
the gate of the MOSFET from damage in such an
event. The part can withstand 100mA for short
periods, like dV/dt transients.
7. Design Switching Frequency
The maximum switching frequency is the last design
value to be calculated, because the over-voltage
protection and the storage capacitor play a significant
role in determining the result. Inasmuch as those
factors are already determined, the following gives a
good approximation for the maximum switching
frequency. The maximum switching frequency is a
function of the gate charge of the MOSFET, the
storage capacitor (CST), and ROVP. The maximum
switching frequency relationship in Hz is:

8.4 Board Wash
IXYS Integrated Circuits Division recommends the use of no-clean flux formulations. However, board washing to
remove flux residue is acceptable. Since IXYS Integrated Circuits Division employs the use of silicone coating as an
optical waveguide in many of its optically isolated products, the use of a short drying bake could be necessary if a
wash is used after solder reflow processes. Chlorine- or Fluorine-based solvents or fluxes should not be used.
Cleaning methods that employ ultrasonic energy should not be used..
