The SO-5 JEDEC registered (MO155) package outline does not
require “through holes” in a PCB.
This package occupies
approximately one fourth the
footprint area of the standard
dual-in-line package. The lead
profile is designed to be compatible with standard surface
mount processes.
The HCPL-M600/01/11 optically
coupled gates combine a GaAsP
light emitting diode and an
integrated high gain photon
detector. The output of the
detector I.C. is an Open-collector
Schottky-clamped transistor. The
internal shield provides a
guaranteed common mode
transient immunity specification of
5,000 V/µs for the HCPL-M601,
and 10,000 V/µs for the HCPLM611.
This unique design provides
maximum ac and dc circuit
isolation while achieving TTL
compatibility. The optocoupler ac
and dc operational parameters are
guaranteed from -40°C to 85°C
allowing trouble free system
performance.
CAUTION: The small device geometries inherent to the design of this bipolar component increase the component's
susceptibility to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). 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.

The HCPL-M600/01/11 are
suitable for high speed logic
interfacing, input/output
buffering, as line receivers in
environments that conventional
line receivers cannot tolerate, and
are recommended for use in
extremely high ground or induced
noise environments.

Notes:
1. Bypassing of the power supply line is required with a 0.1 µF ceramic disc capacitor adjacent to each optocoupler. The total lead
length between both ends of the capacitor and the isolator pins should not exceed 10 mm.
2. Peaking circuits may produce transient input currents up to 50 mA, 50 ns maximum pulse width, provided average current
does not exceed 20 mA.
3. Device considered a two terminal device: pins 1 and 3 shorted together, and pins 4, 5 and 6 shorted together.
4. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 3000 VRMS for 1 second
(Leakage detection current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA).
5. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from 3.75 mA point on the falling edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the
rising edge of the output pulse.
6. The tPHL propagation delay is measured from 3.75 mA point on the rising edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the
falling edge of the output pulse.
7. CMH is the maximum tolerable rate of rise of the common mode voltage to assure that the output will remain in a high logic
state (i.e., VOUT > 2.0 V).
8. CML is the maximum tolerable rate of fall of the common mode voltage to assure that the output will remain in a low logic
state (i.e., VOUT > 0.8 V).
9. For sinusoidal voltages, (|dVCM|/dt)max = πfCMVCM(p-p).
10. See application section; “Propagation Delay, Pulse-Width Distortion and Propagation Delay Skew” for more information.
11. tPSK is equal to the worst case difference in tPHL and/or tPLH that will be seen between units at any given temperature within
the worst case operating condition range.

Propagation Delay, PulseWidth Distortion and
Propagation Delay Skew
Propagation delay is a figure of
merit which describes 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 7).
Pulse-width distortion (PWD)
results when tPLH and tPHL differ in
value. PWD is defined as the
difference between tPLH and tPHL
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 exact figure depends on the
particular application (RS232,
RS422, T-1, etc.).
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
delays is large enough, it will
determine the maximum rate at
which parallel data can be sent
through the optocouplers.
Propagation delay skew is defined
as the difference between the
minimum and maximum
propagation delays, either tPLH or
tPHL, for any given group of
optocouplers which 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.
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 the data lines being
sent through optocouplers. The
figure shows data and clock
signals at the inputs and outputs
of the optocouplers. To obtain the
maximum data transmission rate,
both edges of the clock signal are
being used to clock the data; if
only one edge were used, the
clock signal would need to be
twice as fast.
Propagation delay skew
represents 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 the clock lines.
It is important that these two
areas of uncertainty 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 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 tPSK specified optocouplers
offer the advantages of
guaranteed specifications for
propagation delays, pulse-width
distortion and propagation delay
skew over the recommended
temperature, and input current,
and power supply ranges.
