Current Loop Transmitter,
HCPL-4100, Also Available
The HCPL-4200 optocoupler is
designed to operate as a receiver
in equipment using the 20 mA
Current Loop. 20 mA current
loop systems conventionally signal a logic high state by transmitting 20 mA of loop current
(MARK), and signal a logic low
state by allowing no more than a
few milliamperes of loop current
(SPACE). Optical coupling of the
signal from the 20 mA current
loop to the logic output breaks
ground loops and provides for a
very high common mode
rejection. The HCPL-4200 aids in
the design process by providing
guaranteed thresholds for logic
high state and logic low state for
the current loop, providing an
LSTTL, TTL, or CMOS compatible
logic interface, and providing
guaranteed common mode
rejection. The buffer circuit on
the current loop side of the
HCPL-4200 provides typically 0.8
mA of hysteresis which increases
the immunity to common mode
and differential mode noise. The
buffer also provides a controlled
amount of LED drive current
which takes into account any
LED light output degradation.
The internal shield allows a
guaranteed 1000 V/µs common
mode transient immunity.

Applications
Data transfer between equipment
which employs current loop
circuits can be accomplished via
one of three configurations:
simplex, half duplex or full
duplex communication. With
these configurations, point-topoint and multidrop arrangements
are possible. The appropriate
configuration to use depends
upon data rate, number of
stations, number and length of
lines, direction of data flow,
protocol, current source location
and voltage compliance value,
etc.
Simplex
The simplex configuration,
whether point to point or multidrop, gives unidirectional data
flow from transmitter to
receiver(s). This is the simplest
configuration for use in long line
length (two wire), for high data
rate, and low current source
compliance level applications.
Block diagrams of simplex pointto-point and multidrop
arrangements are given in
Figures 17a and 17b respectively
for the HCPL-4200 receiver
optocoupler.
For the highest data rate performance in a current loop, the
configuration of a non-isolated
active transmitter (containing
current source) transmitting data
to a remote isolated receiver(s)
should be used. When the current
source is located at the transmitter end, the loop is charged
approximately to VMI (2.5 V).
Alternatively, when the current
source is located at the receiver
end, the loop is charged to the
full compliance voltage level. The
lower the charged voltage level
the faster the data rate will be. In
the configurations of Figures 17a
and 17b, data rate is independent
of the current source voltage
compliance level. An adequate
compliance level of current
source must be available for
voltage drops across station(s)
during the MARK state in multidrop applications or for long line
length. The maximum compliance
level is determined by the transmitter breakdown characteristic.
A recommended non-isolated
active transmitter circuit which
can be used with the HCPL-4200
in point-to-point or in multidrop
20 mA current loop applications
is given in Figure 18. The current
source is controlled via a
standard TTL 7407 buffer to
provide high output impedance of
current source in both the ON
1-331

and OFF states. This non-isolated
active transmitter provides a
nominal 20 mA loop current for
the listed values of VCC, R2 and
R3 in Figure 18.
Input and output logic supply
voltages are 5 V dc.
Length of current loop (one
direction) versus minimum
required DC supply voltage, VCC,
of the circuit in Figure 18 is
graphically illustrated in Figure
19. Multidrop configurations will
require larger VCC than Figure 19
predicts in order to account for
additional station terminal
voltage drops.
and HCPL-4200 optically coupled
current loop receiver shown in
Figure 18. Curves are shown for
10% and 25% distortion data
rate. 10% (25%) distortion data
rate is defined as that rate at
which 10% (25%) distortion
occurs to output bit interval with
respect to input bit interval. An
input Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ)
test waveform of 16 bits
(0000001011111101) was used
for data rate distortion measurements. Data rate is independent
of current source supply voltage,
VCC .
Typical data rate performance
versus distance is illustrated in
Figure 20 for the combination of
a non-isolated active transmitter
The cable used contained five
pairs of unshielded, twisted, 22
AWG wire (Dearborn #862205).
Loop current is 20 mA nominal.

combination of Hewlett-Packard
current loop optocouplers, HCPL4100 transmitter and HCPL-4200
1-332
Full Duplex
The full duplex point-to-point
communication of Figure 21 uses
a four wire system to provide
simultaneous, bidirectional data
communication between local and
remote equipment. The basic
application uses two simplex
point-to-point loops which have
two separate, active, non-isolated
units at one common end of the
loops. The other end of each loop
is isolated.
Figure 18. Recommended Non-Isolated Active Transmitter with HCPL-4200 Isolated Receiver for Simplex Point-to-Point
20 mA Current Loop.
receiver, can be used at the
isolated end of current loops.
Cross talk and common mode
coupling are greatly reduced
when optical isolation is implemented at the same end of both
loops, as shown. The full duplex

Voltage, V CC , vs. Loop Length for
Current Loop Circuit of Figure 19.
data rate is limited by the nonisolated active receiver current
loop. Comments mentioned under
simplex configuration apply to
the full duplex case. Consult the
HCPL-4100 transmitter optocoupler data sheet for specified
device performance.
Figure 20. Typical Data Rate vs.
Distance.
Figure 21. Full Duplex Point-to-Point Current Loop System
Configuration.
Half Duplex
The half duplex configuration,
whether point-to-point or
multidrop, gives nonsimultaneous bidirectional data
flow from transmitters to
receivers shown in Figures 22a
and 22b. This configuration
allows the use of two wires to
carry data back and forth
between local and remote units.
However, protocol must be used
to determine which specific
transmitter can operate at any
given time. Maximum data rate
for a half duplex system is limited
by the loop current charging
time. These considerations were
explained in the Simplex configuration section.
Figures 22a and 22b illustrate
half duplex application for the
combination of HCPL-4100/-4200
optocouplers. The unique and
complementary designs of the
HCPL-4100 transmitter and
HCPL-4200 receiver
optocouplers provide many
designed-in benefits. For
example, total optical isolation at
one end of the current loop is
easily accomplished, which
results in substantial removal of
common mode influences,
elimination of ground potential
1-333
differences and reduction of
power supply requirements. With
this combination of HCPL-4100/
-4200 optocouplers, specific
current loop noise immunity is
provided, i.e., minimum SPACE
state current noise immunity is 1
mA, MARK state noise immunity
is 8 mA.
Voltage compliance of the current
source must be of an adequate
level for operating all units in the
loop while not exceeding 27 V dc,
the maximum breakdown voltage
for the HCPL-4100. Note that the
HCPL-4100 transmitter will allow
loop current to conduct when
input VCC power is off. Consult
Figure 22. Half Duplex Current Loop System Configurations for
(a) Point-to-Point, (b) Multidrop.
