AGILENT HCPL-8100

Agilent HCPL-8100/0810
High Current Line Driver
Data Sheet
Features
• 1 APP driving current
Description
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 are low-cost high current
line drivers. With a 5 V single
supply, they deliver up to 1
APP current. This is ideal for
high current applications such
as a Powerline modem.
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 are internally protected
against over-temperature
conditions through thermal
shutdown. Under-voltage or
over-load condition is sensed
by internal detection circuit
and indicated by Status pin
output. In addition, with the
transmit enable (Tx-en) input,
the line driver output stage
can be disabled to reduce
power dissipation when not
operating.
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 are specified for
operation over extended
temperature range from
-40°C to +85°C. The HCPL8100 is available in DIP-8
package, and the HCPL-0810 is
available in SO-8 package.

Line Driver
The line driver is capable of
driving powerline load
impedances with output signals
up to 4 VPP. The internal
biasing of the line driver is
controlled externally via a
resistor Rref connected from
pin 4 to ground. The optimum
biasing point value for
modulation frequencies up to
150 kHz is 24 kΩ. For higher
frequency operation with
certain modulation schemes, it
may be necessary to reduce
the resistor value to enable
compliance with international
regulations.
The output of the line driver
is coupled onto the powerline
using a simple LC coupling
circuit as shown in Figure 18.
Refer to Table 1 for some
typical component values.
Capacitor C2 and inductor L1
attenuate the 50/60 Hz
powerline transmission
frequency. A suitable value for
L1 can range in value from
9
200 µH to 1 mH. To reduce
the series coupling impedance
at the modulation frequency,
L2 is included to compensate
the reactive impedance of C2.
This inductor should be a low
resistive type capable of
meeting the peak current
requirements. To meet many
regulatory requirements,
capacitor C2 needs to be an
X2 type. Since these types of
capacitors typically have a
very wide tolerance range of
20%, it is recommended to use
as low Q factor as possible for
the L2/C2 combination. Using
a high Q coupling circuit will
result in a wide tolerance on
the overall coupling
impedance, causing potential
communication difficulties with
low powerline impedances.
Occasionally with other circuit
configurations, a high Q
coupling arrangement is
recommended, e.g., C2 less
than 100 nF. In this case it is
normally used as a
compromise to filter out of
band harmonics originating
from the line driver. This is
not required with the HCPL8100 or HCPL-0810.

Although the series coupling
impedance is minimized to
reduce insertion loss, it has to
be sufficiently large to limit
the peak current to the
desired level in the worst
expected powerline load
condition. The peak output
current is effectively limited by
the total series coupling
resistance, which is made up
of the series resistance of L2,
the series resistance of the
fuse and any other resistive
element connected in the
coupling network.
To reduce power dissipation
when not operating in transmit
mode the line driver stage is
shut down to a low power
high impedance state by
pulling the Tx-en input (pin 2)
to logic low state.
External Transient Voltage
Protection
To protect the HCPL-8100 and
HCPL-0810 from high voltage
transients caused by power
surges and disconnecting/
connecting the modem, it is
necessary to add an external
6.8 V bi-directional transient
voltage protector (as
component D1 shown in Figure
17).
Additional protection from
powerline voltage surges can
be achieved by adding an
appropriate Metal Oxide
Varistor (MOV) across the
powerline terminals after the
fuse.
Internal Protection and Sensing
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 include several sensing
and protection functions to
ensure robust operation under
wide ranging environmental
conditions.
The first feature is the VCC
Under Voltage Detection (UVD).
In the event of VCC dropping
to a voltage less than 4 V, the
output status pin is switched
to a logic high state.
The next feature is the overtemperature shutdown. This
particular feature protects the
line driver stage from over-
temperature stress. Should the
IC junction temperature reach
a level above 150°C, the line
driver circuit will be shut
down and the output of Status
(pin 1) is pulled to the logic
high state simultaneously.
The final feature is load
detection function. The
powerline impedance is quite
unpredictable and varies not
just at different connection
points but is also time variant.
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL0810 include a current sense
feature, which may be utilized
to feedback information on the
instantaneous powerline load
condition. Should the peak
current reach a level greater
than 0.5 APP, the output of
status pin is pulled to a logic
high state for the entire period
the peak current exceeds -0.25
A as shown in Figure 12.
Using the period of the pulse
together with the known
coupling impedance, the actual
powerline load can be
calculated. Table 2 shows the
logic output of the Status pin.
