Agilent HCPL-8100/0810 High Current Line Driver Data Sheet Features • 1 APP driving current Description The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 are low-cost high current line drivers. With a 5 V single supply, they deliver up to 1 APP current. This is ideal for high current applications such as a Powerline modem. The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 are internally protected against over-temperature conditions through thermal shutdown. Under-voltage or over-load condition is sensed by internal detection circuit and indicated by Status pin output. In addition, with the transmit enable (Tx-en) input, the line driver output stage can be disabled to reduce power dissipation when not operating. The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 are specified for operation over extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The HCPL8100 is available in DIP-8 package, and the HCPL-0810 is available in SO-8 package. • 3.5 MHz gain bandwidth product • − 60 dB maximum harmonic distortion • Load detection function • Under-voltage detection • Over-temperature shutdown • 5 V single supply • Temperature range: −40°C to +85°C • Suitable for FCC Part 15 and EN50065-1 compliant design Applications • Automatic meter reading (AMR) • Powerline modem • General purpose line driver • Signal conditioning • Digital-to-analog converter buffers Connection Diagram 1 STATUS 2 TX -EN TX PLM Transceiver Filter 3 4 Status Tx -out Tx -en V CC Tx -in GND R ref GND 8 7 L 5V 6 5 HCPL-8100/0810 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.

Schematic of HCPL-8100 or HCPL-0810 application for FSK modulation scheme. Line Driver The line driver is capable of driving powerline load impedances with output signals up to 4 VPP. The internal biasing of the line driver is controlled externally via a resistor Rref connected from pin 4 to ground. The optimum biasing point value for modulation frequencies up to 150 kHz is 24 kΩ. For higher frequency operation with certain modulation schemes, it may be necessary to reduce the resistor value to enable compliance with international regulations. The output of the line driver is coupled onto the powerline using a simple LC coupling circuit as shown in Figure 18. Refer to Table 1 for some typical component values. Capacitor C2 and inductor L1 attenuate the 50/60 Hz powerline transmission frequency. A suitable value for L1 can range in value from 9 200 µH to 1 mH. To reduce the series coupling impedance at the modulation frequency, L2 is included to compensate the reactive impedance of C2. This inductor should be a low resistive type capable of meeting the peak current requirements. To meet many regulatory requirements, capacitor C2 needs to be an X2 type. Since these types of capacitors typically have a very wide tolerance range of 20%, it is recommended to use as low Q factor as possible for the L2/C2 combination. Using a high Q coupling circuit will result in a wide tolerance on the overall coupling impedance, causing potential communication difficulties with low powerline impedances. Occasionally with other circuit configurations, a high Q coupling arrangement is recommended, e.g., C2 less than 100 nF. In this case it is normally used as a compromise to filter out of band harmonics originating from the line driver. This is not required with the HCPL8100 or HCPL-0810.

Carrier LC Coupling Frequency (kHz) L2 (µH) C2 (nF) 110 15 150 120 10 220 132 6.8 220 150 6.8 220 Although the series coupling impedance is minimized to reduce insertion loss, it has to be sufficiently large to limit the peak current to the desired level in the worst expected powerline load condition. The peak output current is effectively limited by the total series coupling resistance, which is made up of the series resistance of L2, the series resistance of the fuse and any other resistive element connected in the coupling network. To reduce power dissipation when not operating in transmit mode the line driver stage is shut down to a low power high impedance state by pulling the Tx-en input (pin 2) to logic low state. External Transient Voltage Protection To protect the HCPL-8100 and HCPL-0810 from high voltage transients caused by power surges and disconnecting/ connecting the modem, it is necessary to add an external 6.8 V bi-directional transient voltage protector (as component D1 shown in Figure 17). Additional protection from powerline voltage surges can be achieved by adding an appropriate Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) across the powerline terminals after the fuse. Internal Protection and Sensing The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 include several sensing and protection functions to ensure robust operation under wide ranging environmental conditions. The first feature is the VCC Under Voltage Detection (UVD). In the event of VCC dropping to a voltage less than 4 V, the output status pin is switched to a logic high state. The next feature is the overtemperature shutdown. This particular feature protects the line driver stage from over- temperature stress. Should the IC junction temperature reach a level above 150°C, the line driver circuit will be shut down and the output of Status (pin 1) is pulled to the logic high state simultaneously. The final feature is load detection function. The powerline impedance is quite unpredictable and varies not just at different connection points but is also time variant. The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 include a current sense feature, which may be utilized to feedback information on the instantaneous powerline load condition. Should the peak current reach a level greater than 0.5 APP, the output of status pin is pulled to a logic high state for the entire period the peak current exceeds -0.25 A as shown in Figure 12. Using the period of the pulse together with the known coupling impedance, the actual powerline load can be calculated. Table 2 shows the logic output of the Status pin. Table 2.
