HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314
Description
The HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314
family of devices consists of a GaAsP LED
optically coupled to an integrated
circuit with a power output stage.
These optocouplers are ideally
suited for driving power IGBTs and
MOSFETs used in motor control
inverter applications. The high
operating voltage range of the
output stage provides the drive
voltages required by gate
controlled devices. The voltage
and current supplied by this
optocoupler makes it ideally
suited for directly driving small
or medium power IGBTs. For
IGBTs with higher ratings, the
HCPL-3150 (0.5 A) or
HCPL-3120 (2.0 A) optocouplers
can be used.
Features
• 0.4 A minimum peak output
current
• High speed response:
0.7 µs maximum propagation delay
over temperature range
• Ultra high CMR:
minimum 10 kV/µs at VCM = 1 kV
• Bootstrappable supply current:

Notes:
1. Derate linearly above 70°C free air temperature at a rate of 0.3 mA/°C.
2. Maximum pulse width = 10 µs, maximum duty cycle = 0.2%. This value is intended to allow for component tolerances for designs with IO peak
minimum = 0.4 A. See Application section for additional details on limiting IOL peak.
3. Derate linearly above 85°C, free air temperature at the rate of 4.0 mW/°C.
4. Input power dissipation does not require derating.
5. Maximum pulse width = 50 µs, maximum duty cycle = 0.5%.
6. In this test, VOH is measured with a DC load current. When driving capacitive load VOH will approach V CC as I OH approaches zero amps.
7. Maximum pulse width = 1 ms, maximum duty cycle = 20%.
8. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 3000 V rms for 1 second (leakage detection
current limit II-O ≤ 5 µA). This test is performed before 100% production test for partial discharge (method B) shown in the VDE 0884 Insulation
Characteristics Table, if applicable.
9. Device considered a two-terminal device: pins on input side shorted together and pins on output side shorted together.
10. PDD is the difference between t PHL and tPLH between any two parts or channels under the same test conditions.
11. Common mode transient immunity in the high state is the maximum tolerable |dVcm/dt| of the common mode pulse VCM to assure that the output
will remain in the high state (i.e. Vo > 6.0 V).
12. Common mode transient immunity in a low state is the maximum tolerable |dV CM/dt| of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output
will remain in a low state (i.e. Vo < 1.0 V).
13. This load condition approximates the gate load of a 1200 V/25 A IGBT.
14. The power supply current increases when operating frequency and Qg of the driven IGBT increases.

Applications Information
Eliminating Negative IGBT Gate
Drive
To keep the IGBT firmly off,
the HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 has a
very low maximum VOL
specification of 1.0 V. Minimizing
Rg and the lead inductance from
the HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 to
the IGBT gate and emitter
(possibly by mounting the
HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 on a
small PC board directly above the
IGBT) can eliminate the need for
negative IGBT gate drive in many
applications as shown in
Figure 19. Care should be taken
with such a PC board design to
avoid routing the IGBT collector
or emitter traces close to the
HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 input as
this can result in unwanted
coupling of transient signals into
the input of HCPL-3140/
HCPL-0314 and degrade
performance. (If the IGBT
drain must be routed near the
HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 input,
then the LED should be reverse
biased when in the off state, to
prevent the transient signals
coupled from the IGBT drain
from turning on the HCPL-3140/
HCPL-0314.)

The VOL value of 5 V in the previous equation is the VOL at the peak
current of 0.6A. (See Figure 6).
Step 2: Check the HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 power dissipation and
increase Rg if necessary. The HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 total power
dissipation (PT) is equal to the sum of the emitter power (PE) and the
output power (PO).
P T = PE + PO
PE = IF • VF • Duty Cycle
PO = PO(BIAS) + PO(SWITCHING) = ICC • VCC + ESW (Rg,Qg)• f
= (ICCBIAS + KICC • Qg • f) • VCC + E SW (Rg,Qg) • f
where KICC • Qg • f is the increase in ICC due to switching and KICC is a
constant of 0.001 mA/(nC*kHz). For the circuit in Figure 19 with IF
(worst case) = 10 mA, Rg = 32 Ω, Max Duty Cycle = 80%,
Qg = 100 nC, f = 20 kHz and TAMAX = 85°C:
PE = 10 mA • 1.8 V • 0.8 = 14 mW
P O = (3 mA + (0.001 mA/(nC • kHz)) • 20 kHz • 100 nC) • 24 V +
0.4 µJ • 20 kHz = 80 mW
< 260 mW (PO(MAX) @ 85°C)
The value of 3 mA for ICC in the previous equation is the max. I CC over
entire operating temperature range.
Since PO for this case is less than PO(MAX), Rg = 32 Ω is alright for the
power dissipation.

LED Drive Circuit Considerations for
Ultra High CMR Performance
Without a detector shield, the
dominant cause of optocoupler
CMR failure is capacitive
coupling from the input side of
the optocoupler, through the
package, to the detector IC
as shown in Figure 21. The
HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314 improves
CMR performance by using a
detector IC with an optically
transparent Faraday shield, which
diverts the capacitively coupled
current away from the sensitive
IC circuitry. However, this shield
does not eliminate the capacitive
coupling between the LED and
opto-coupler pins 5-8 as shown in
Figure 22. This capacitive
coupling causes perturbations in
the LED current during common
mode transients and becomes the
major source of CMR failures for
a shielded optocoupler. The main
design objective of a high CMR
LED drive circuit becomes
keeping the LED in the proper
state (on or off ) during common
mode transients. For example,
the recommended application
circuit (Figure 19), can achieve
10 kV/µs CMR while minimizing
component complexity.
Techniques to keep the LED in
the proper state are discussed in
the next two sections.

Figure 25. Recommended LED Drive Circuit for Ultra-High CMR IPM
Dead Time and Propagation Delay Specifications.
CMR with the LED On (CMRH)
A high CMR LED drive circuit
must keep the LED on during
common mode transients. This is
achieved by overdriving the LED
current beyond the input
threshold so that it is not pulled
below the threshold during a
transient. A minimum LED
current of 8 mA provides
adequate margin over the
maximum IFLH of 5 mA to
achieve 10 kV/µs CMR.
CMR with the LED Off (CMRL)
A high CMR LED drive
circuit must keep the LED off
(VF ≤ VF(OFF)) during common
mode transients. For example,
during a -dVCM/dt transient in
Figure 23, the current flowing
through CLEDP also flows
through the RSAT and VSAT of the
logic gate. As long as the low
state voltage developed across
the logic gate is less than VF(OFF)
the LED will remain off and no
common mode failure will occur.
The open collector drive circuit,
shown in Figure 24, can not keep
the LED off during a +dVCM /dt
transient, since all the current
flowing through CLEDN must be
14
supplied by the LED, and it is
not recommended for
applications requiring ultra high
CMR1 performance. The
alternative drive circuit which
like the recommended
application circuit (Figure 19),
does achieve ultra high CMR
performance by shunting the
LED in the off state.
IPM Dead Time and Propagation
Delay Specifications
The HCPL-3140/HCPL-0314
includes a Propagation Delay
Difference (PDD) specification
intended to help designers
minimize “dead time” in their
power inverter designs. Dead
time is the time high and low
side power transistors are off.
Any overlap in Ql and Q2
conduction will result in large
currents flowing through the
power devices from the highvoltage to the low-voltage motor
rails. To minimize dead time in a
given design, the turn on of
LED2 should be delayed (relative
to the turn off of LED1) so that
under worst-case conditions,
transistor Q1 has just turned off
when transistor Q2 turns on, as
shown in Figure 26. The amount
of delay necessary to achieve this
condition is equal to the
maximum value of the
propagation delay difference
specification, PDD max, which is
specified to be 500 ns over the
operating temperature range of
-40° to 100°C.
Delaying the LED signal by the
maximum propagation delay
difference ensures that the
minimum dead time is zero, but it
does not tell a designer what the
maximum dead time will be. The
maximum dead time is equivalent
to the difference between the
maximum and minimum
propagation delay difference
specification as shown in
Figure 27. The maximum dead
time for the HCPL-3140/HCPL0314 is 1 µs (= 0.5 µs - (-0.5 µs))
over the operating temperature
range of –40°C to 100°C.
Note that the propagation delays
used to calculate PDD and dead
time are taken at equal
temperatures and test conditions
since the optocouplers under
consideration are typically
mounted in close proximity to
each other and are switching
identical IGBTs.
