Description
Features
The HCPL-261A family of optically coupled gates shown
on this data sheet provide all the benefits of the industry standard 6N137 family with the added benefit
of HCMOS compatible input cur­rent. This allows direct
interface to all common circuit topologies without additional LED buffer or drive components. The AlGaAs
LED used allows lower drive currents and reduces
degradation by using the latest LED tech­nol­ogy. On
the single channel parts, an enable output allows the detector to be strobed. The output of the detector IC is an
open collector schottky-clamped transistor. The internal
shield provides a mini­mum common mode transient immunity of 1000 V/µs for the HCPL-261A family and 15000
V/µs for the HCPL-261N family.
• HCMOS/LSTTL/TTL performance compatible

Notes:
1. Peaking circuits may be used which produce transient input currents up to 30 mA, 50 ns maximum pulse width, provided the average current
does not exceed 10 mA.
2. 1 minute maximum.
3. Derate linearly above 80°C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.7 mW/°C for the SOIC-8 package.

5. Device considered a two-terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
6. In accordance with UL1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 4500 VRMS for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA). This test is performed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (method b) shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation Characteristics Table, if applicable.
7. In accordance with UL1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 6000 VRMS for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA).
8. Measured between the LED anode and cathode shorted together and pins 5 through 8 shorted together.
9. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 1.75 mA point on the falling edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of
the output pulse.
10. The tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 1.75 mA point on the rising edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the falling edge of

the output will remain in a Logic High state (i.e., Vo > 2.0 V).
14. Common mode transient immunity in a Logic Low level is the maximum tolerable |dVCM/dt| of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that
the output will remain in a Logic Low state (i.e., VO < 0.8 V).
15. For sinusoidal voltages
(|dVCM /dt|)max = πfCM VCM(P-P).
16. Bypassing of the power supply line is required with a 0.1 µF ceramic disc capacitor adjacent to each optocoup­ler as shown in Figure 19. Total

17. Pulse Width Distortion (PWD) is defined as the difference between tPLH and tPHL for any given device.
18. No external pull up is required for a high logic state on the enable input of a single channel product. If the VE pin is not used, tying VE to VCC
will result in improved CMR performance.

2. Two LED-current setting resistors

OUTPUT 2
If the enable pin is left floating, it is
possible for common-mode transients to couple to the enable pin,
resulting in common-mode failure.
This failure mechanism only occurs
when the LED is on and the output
is in the Low State. It is identified as
occurring when the transient output
voltage rises above 0.8 V. Therefore,
the enable pin should be connected
to either VCC or logic-level high for
best common-mode performance
with the output low (CMRL). This
failure mechanism is only present
in single-channel parts (HCPL-261N,
-261A, ‑061N, -061A) which have the
enable function.

Also, common-mode transients can
capacitively couple from the LED anode (or cathode) to the output-side
ground causing current to be shunted away from the LED (which can be
bad if the LED is on) or conversely
cause current to be injected into the
LED (bad if the LED is meant to be
off ). Figure 21 shows the parasitic
capacitances which exists between
LED anode/cathode and output
ground (CLA and CLC). Also shown in
Figure 21 on the input side is an ACequivalent circuit.
CMR with Other Drive Circuits
Table 1 indicates the directions of ILP and ILN flow depending on the direction of the common-mode transient.
CMR performance with drive circuits other than that
shown in Figure 20 may be enhanced by following these
guidelines:
For transients occurring when the LED is on, commonmode rejec­tion (CMRL, since the output is in the “low”
state) depends upon the amount of LED current drive (IF).
For conditions where IF is close to the switching threshold (ITH), CMRL also depends on the extent which ILP and ILN
balance each other. In other words, any condition where
common-mode transients cause a momentary decrease
in IF (i.e. when dVCM /dt>0 and |IFP| > |IFN|, referring to Table
1) will cause common-mode failure for transients which
are fast enough.
1. Use of drive circuits where current is shunted from
the LED in the LED “off” state (as shown in Figures 22
and 23). This is beneficial for good CMRH.
2. Use of IFH > 3.5 mA. This is good for high CMRL.
Using any one of the drive circuits in Figures 22-24 with
IF = 10 mA will result in a typical CMR of 8 kV/µs for the
HCPL-261N family, as long as the PC board layout practices are followed. Figure 22 shows a circuit which can
be used with any totem-pole-output TTL/LSTTL/HCMOS
logic gate. The buffer PNP transistor allows the circuit to
be used with logic devices which have low current-sinking capability. It also helps maintain the driving-gate
power-supply current at a constant level to minimize
ground shifting for other devices connected to the input-supply ground.
Likewise for common-mode transients which occur
when the LED is off (i.e. CMRH, since the output is “high”),
if an imbalance between ILP and ILN results in a transient
IF equal to or greater than the switching threshold of the
optocoupler, the transient “signal” may cause the output
to spike below 2 V (which consti­tutes a CMRH failure).
By using the recommended circuit in Figure 20, good
CMR can be achieved. (In the case of the -261N families,
a minimum CMR of 15 kV/µs is guaranteed using this circuit.) The balanced ILED-setting resistors help equalize ILP
and ILN to reduce the amount by which ILED is modulated
from transient coupling through CLA and CLC.
When using an open-collector TTL or open-drain CMOS
logic gate, the circuit in Figure 23 may be used. When
using a CMOS gate to drive the optocoupler, the circuit
shown in Figure 24 may be used. The diode in parallel
with the RLED speeds the turn-off of the optocoupler
LED.

Propagation Delay, Pulse-Width 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 9).
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 synchro-

nization of signals on parallel data lines is a con­cern. If
the parallel data is being sent through a group of opto­
coup­lers, 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.
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 25, 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 26 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 26 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
IF
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, pulsewidth distortion, and propagation delay skew over the
recommended temperature, input current, and power
supply ranges.
