H Optically Coupled 20 mA Current Loop Receiver Technical Data HCPL-4200 Features Description • Data Output Compatible with LSTTL, TTL and CMOS • 20 K Baud Data Rate at 1400 Metres Line Length • Guaranteed Performance over Temperature (0°C to 70°C) • Guaranteed On and Off Thresholds • LED is Protected from Excess Current • Input Threshold Hysteresis • Three-State Output Compatible with Data Buses • Internal Shield for High Common Mode Rejection • Safety Approval UL Recognized -2500 V rms, for 1 Minute CSA Approved • Optically Coupled 20 mA 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 1-381 Figure 17. Simplex Current Loop System Configurations for (a) Point-to-Point, (b) Multidrop. 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. As Figure 21 illustrates, the combination of Hewlett-Packard current loop optocouplers, HCPL4100 transmitter and HCPL-4200 1-382 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 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. TA = 25 °C Figure 19. Minimum Required Supply Voltage, VCC, vs. Loop Length for Current Loop Circuit of Figure 19. 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 1-383 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.
