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. 6 Table 3. Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol Min. Max.

No external interface circuitry is required because ACPLx72L uses high speed CMOS IC technology allowing CMOS logic to be connected directly to the inputs and outputs. As shown in Figure 7, the only external components required for proper operation are two bypass capacitors. Capacitor values should be between 0.01mF and 0.1mF. For each capacitor, the total lead length between both ends of the capacitor and power supply pins should not exceed 20mm. Figure 8 illustrates the recommended printed circuit board layout for ACPL-x72L. V DD1 VI C1 50% VI t PLH OUTPUT VO 10% 90% 7 NC 90% 10% 4 6 5 VO GND 2 C1, C2 = 0.01 µF TO 0.1 µF Figure 7. Recommended Circuit Diagram 0V V OH 2.5 V CMOS V OL 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 ACPL-x72L is 6ns (15%) maximum across recommended operating conditions. V DD1 VDD2 VI 72L YYL C1 5 V CMOS Figure 9.

The propagation delay from a 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. Please see Figure 9. 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 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 11 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 assumes to be clocked off of the rising edge of the clock. Propagation delay skew is defined as the difference between the minimum and maximum propagation delays, either tPLH or tPHL for any given group of optocouoplers which are operating under the same conditions (i.e., the same drive current, supply voltage, output load, and operating temperature). As illustrated in Figure 10, 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 and tPHL.

Propagation delay skew waveform Propagation delay skew represents the uncertainty of where an edge might be after being sent through an optocoupler. Figure 11 shows that there will be uncertainty in both the data and clock lines. It is important that these two areas of uncertainty not overlap, otherwise the clock signal might arrive before all 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 optocouplers 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 ACPL-x72L optocoupler offers the advantage of guaranteed specifications for propagation delays, pulsewidth distortion, and propagation delay skew over the recommended temperature and power supply ranges.
