improve the speed up to a
hundred times that of a conventional phototransistor
optocoupler by reducing the
base-collector capacitance.
These devices are suitable for
wide bandwidth analog applications, as well as for interfacing
TTL to LSTTL or CMOS. Current
Transfer Ratio (CTR) is 9% minimum at IF = 16 mA. The 18 V VCC
Description
These units are single, dual and
quad channel, hermetically sealed
optocouplers. The products are
capable of operation and storage
over the full military temperature
range and can be purchased as
either standard product or with
full MIL-PRF-38534 Class Level
H or K testing or from the
appropriate DESC Drawing. All
devices are manufactured and
tested on a MIL-PRF-38534
certified line and are included in
the DESC Qualified
Manufacturers List QML-38534
for Hybrid Microcircuits.
Each channel contains a GaAsP
light emitting diode which is
optically coupled to an integrated
photon detector. Separate
connections for the photodiodes
and output transistor collectors

capability will enable the designer
to interface any TTL family to
CMOS. The availability of the
base lead allows optimized gain/
bandwidth adjustment in analog
applications. The shallow depth
of the IC photodiode provides
better radiation immunity than
conventional phototransistor
couplers.
These products are also available
with the transistor base node
connected to improve common
mode noise immunity and ESD
susceptibility. In addition, higher
CTR minimums are available by
special request.
Package styles for these parts are
8 and 16 pin DIP through hole
(case outlines P and E respectively), 16 pin DIP flat pack (case
outline F), and leadless ceramic
chip carrier (case outline 2).
Devices may be purchased with a
variety of lead bend and plating
options, see Selection Guide
Table for details. Standard
Military Drawing (SMD) parts are
available for each package and
lead style.
similarities give justification for
the use of data obtained from one
part to represent other part’s
performance for die related
reliability and certain limited
radiation test results.
Because the same functional die
(emitters and detectors) are used
for each channel of each device
listed in this data sheet, absolute
maximum ratings, recommended
operating conditions, electrical
specifications, and performance
characteristics shown in the
figures are identical for all parts.
Occasional exceptions exist due
to package variations and
limitations and are as noted.
Additionally, the same package
assembly processes and materials
are used in all devices. These

Notes:
1. Each channel of a multi-channel device.
2. Current Transfer Ratio is defined as the ratio of output collector current, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF, times 100%.
CTR is known to degrade slightly over the unit’s lifetime as a function of input current, temperature, signal duty cycle, and system
on time. Refer to Application Note 1002 for more detail. ln short, it is recommended that designers allow at least 20-25%
guardband for CTR degradation.
3. All devices are considered two-terminal devices; measured between all input leads or terminals shorted together and all output
leads or terminals shorted together.
4. The 4N55, 4N55/883B, HCPL-6530 and HCPL-6531 dual channel parts function as two independent single channel units. Use the
single channel parameter limits. IF = 0 mA for channel under test and IF = 20 mA for other channels.
5. Measured between adjacent input pairs shorted together for each multichannel device.
6. tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 50% point on the leading edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the leading
edge of the output pulse. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 50% point on the trailing edge of the input pulse to the
1.5 V point on the trailing edge of the output pulse.
7. CML is the maximum rate of rise of the common mode voltage that can be sustained with the output voltage in the logic low state
(VO < 0.8 V). CMH is the maximum rate of fall of the common mode voltage that can be sustained with the output voltage in the
logic high state (VO > 2.0 V).
8. Bandwidth is the frequency at which the ac output voltage is 3 dB below the low frequency asymptote. For the HCPL-5530 the
typical bandwidth is 2 MHz.
9. This is a momentary withstand test, not an operating condition.
10. Higher CTR minimums are available to support special applications.
11. Measured between each input pair shorted together and all output connections for that channel shorted together.
12. Standard parts receive 100% testing at 25°C (Subgroups 1 and 9). SMD and 883B parts receive 100% testing at 25, 125, and
-55°C (Subgroups 1 and 9, 2 and 10, 3 and 11, respectively).
13. Not required for 4N55, 4N55/883B and 5962-8767901 types.
14. Required for 4N55, 4N55/883B and 5962-8767901 types only.

Description
Performance of Circuit
The schematic uses a dualchannel, high-speed optocoupler
(HCPL-5530) to function as a
servo type dc isolation amplifier.
This circuit operates on the
principle that two optocouplers
will track each other if their gain
changes by the same amount over
a specific operating region.
• 1% linearity for 10 V peak-topeak dynamic range
• Gain drift: -0.03%/°C
• Offset Drift: ± 1 mV/°C
• 25 kHz bandwidth (limited by
Op-Amps U1, U2)
MIL-PRF-38534 Class H,
Class K, and DESC SMD
Test Program
Hewlett-Packard’s Hi-Rel Optocouplers are in compliance with
MIL-PRF-38534 Classes H and K.
Class H devices are also in
compliance with DESC drawings
5962-87679, and 5962-90854.
Testing consists of 100% screening and quality conformance
inspection to MIL-PRF-38534.
