ACPL-785E , HCPL-7850, HCPL-7851, 5962-97557
Hermetically Sealed Analog Isolation Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The HCPL-7850, HCPL-7851 and ACPL-785E are isolation
amplifiers that provide accurate, electrically isolated
and amplified representations of voltage and current.
When used with a shunt resistor to monitor the motor
phase current in a high speed motor drive, the device will
offer superior reliability compared with the traditional
solutions such as current transformers and Hall-effect
sensors. These devices consist of a sigma-delta analog-todigital converter optically coupled to a digital-to-analog
converter in a hermetically sealed package. The products
are capable of operation and storage over the full military
temperature range and may be purchased as a standard
product (HCPL-7850), with full MIL-PRF-38534 Class H
testing (HCPL-7851), with MIL-PRF-38534 Class E testing
(Class K with exceptions) or from the DLA Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) 5962-97557. Details of the Class E
program may be found on page 16 of this datasheet.

A 0.1 F bypass capacitor must be connected between pins 1 and 4 and
between pins 5 and 8.
CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly
of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
Superior performance in design critical specifications
such as common-mode rejection, offset voltage, nonlinearity, and operating temperature make the HCPL-7850,
HCPL-7851 and ACPL-785E excellent choices for designing
reliable products such as motor controllers and inverters.
With common-mode rejection of 8 kV/s these devices are
suitable for noisy electrical environments such as those
generated by the high switching rates of power IGBTs.
Low offset voltage together with a low offset voltage
temperature coefficient permits accurate use of autocalibration techniques.
Gain tolerance of 5% with 0.1% nonlinearity further
provide the performance necessary for accurate feedback
and control.

All typicals are at the nominal operating conditions of VIN+ = 0 V, VIN– = 0 V, TA = 25˚ C, VDD1 = 5 V and VDD2 = 5 V.
Notes:
1. If VIN– is brought above VDD1 -2 V with respect to GND1 an internal test mode may be activated. This test mode is not intended for customer use.
2. Exact offset value is dependent on layout of external bypass capacitors. The offset value in the data sheet corresponds to Avago’s recommended
layout (see Figures 26 and 27).
3. Nonlinearity is defined as half of the peak-to-peak output deviation from the best-fit gain line, expressed as a percentage of the full-scale
differential output voltage.
4. Because of the switched capacitor nature of the sigma-delta A/D converter, time averaged values are shown.
5. CMRRIN is defined as the ratio of the gain for differential inputs applied between pins 2 and 3 to the gain for both common mode inputs applied
to both pins 2 and 3 with respect to pin 4.
6. When the differential input signal exceeds approximately 320 mV, the outputs will limit at the typical values shown.
7. Short-circuit current is the amount of output current generated when either output is shorted to VDD2 or ground. Avago does not recommend
operations under these conditions.
8. CMR (also known as IMR or Isolation Mode Rejection) specifies the minimum rate of rise of a common mode signal applied across the isolation
boundary at which small output perturbations begin to occur. These output perturbations can occur with both the rising and falling edges of
the common mode waveform and may be of either polarity. A CMR failure is defined as a perturbation exceeding 200 mV at the output of the
recommended application circuit (Figure 24). See Applications section for more information on CMR.
9. Output noise comes from two primary sources: chopper noise and sigma-delta quantization noise. Chopper noise results from chopper
stabilization of the output op-amps. It occurs at a specific frequency (typically 500 kHz) and is not attenuated by the on-chip output filter. The
on-chip filter does eliminate most, but not all, of the sigma-delta quantization noise. An external filter circuit may be easily added to the external
post-amplifier to reduce the total RMS output noise. See Applications section for more information.
10. Data sheet value is the amplitude of the transient at the differential output of the device when a 1 VP-P, 1 MHz square wave with 100 ns rise and
fall times (measured at pins 1 and 8) is applied to both VDD1 and VDD2.
11. Device considered a two-terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 are shorted together and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 are shorted together.
12. Commercial parts receive 100% testing at 25° C (Subgroups 1 and 9). Hi-Rel and SMD parts receive 100% testing at 25° C, +125° C and -55° C
(Subgroups 1 and 9, 2 and 10, 3 and 11, respectively).
13. Parameters are tested as part of device initial characterization and after design and process changes only. Parameters are guaranteed to limits
specified for all lots not specifically tested.
14. The f-3dB test is guaranteed by the TRISE test.

Functional Description
Supplies and Bypassing
Figure 23 shows the primary functional blocks of the
HCPL-7850. In operation, the sigma-delta modulator
converts the analog input signal into a high-speed serial
bit stream. The time average of this bit stream is directly
proportional to the input signal. This stream of digital
data is encoded and optically transmitted to the detector
circuit. The detected signal is decoded and converted
back into an analog signal, which is filtered to obtain the
final output signal.
As mentioned above, an inexpensive three-terminal
regulator can be used to reduce the gate-drive power
supply voltage to 5 V. To help attenuate high frequency
power supply noise or ripple, a resistor or inductor can
be used in series with the input of the regulator to form a
low-pass filter with the regulator’s input bypass capacitor.
Application Circuit
The recommended application circuit is shown in Figure
24. A floating power supply (which in many applications could be the same supply that is used to drive the
high-side power transistor) is regulated to 5 V using a
simple three-terminal voltage regulator (U1). The voltage
from the current sensing resistor, or shunt (Rsense), is
applied to the input of the HCPL-7850 through an RC
anti-aliasing filter (R5, C3). And finally, the differential
output of the isolation amplifier is converted to a groundreferenced single-ended output voltage with a simple
differential amplifier circuit (U3 and associated components). Although the application circuit is relatively
simple, a few recommendations should be followed to
ensure optimal performance.

As shown in Figure 24, a 0.1 F bypass capacitor (C2, C4)
should be located as close as possible to the input and
output power supply pins of the HCPL-7850. The bypass
capacitors are required because of the high-speed digital
nature of the signals inside the isolation amplifier. A 0.01
F bypass capacitor (C3) is also recommended at the
input pin(s) due to the switched-capacitor nature of the
input circuit. The input bypass capacitor should be at least
1000 pF to maintain gain accuracy of the isolation amplifier.
Inductive coupling between the input power-supply
capacitor and the input circuit, including the input
bypass capacitor and the input leads of the HCPL-7850,
can introduce additional DC offset in the circuit. Several
steps can be taken to minimize the mutual coupling
between the two parts of the circuit, thereby improving
the offset performance of the design. Separate the two
bypass capacitors C2 and C3 as much as possible (even
putting them on opposite sides of the PC board), while
keeping the total lead lengths, including traces, of each
bypass capacitor less than 20 mm. PC board traces should
be made as short as possible and placed close together
or over ground plane to minimize loop area and pickup
of stray magnetic fields. Avoid using sockets, as they will
typically increase both loop area and inductance. And
finally, using capacitors with small body size and orienting
them perpendicular to each other on the PC board can
also help. For more information concerning this effect, see
Application Note 1078, Designing with Avago Technologies Isolation Amplifiers.

Shunt Resistor Selections
The current-sensing shunt resistor should have low resistance (to minimize power dissipation), low inductance
(to minimize di/dt induced voltage spikes which could
adversely affect operation), and reasonable tolerance (to
maintain overall circuit accuracy). The value of the shunt
should be chosen as a compromise between minimizing
power dissipation by making the shunt resistance smaller
and improving circuit accuracy by making it larger and
utilizing the full input range of the HCPL-7850. Avago
Technologies recommends four different shunts which
can be used to sense average currents in motor drives up
to 35 A and 35 hp. Table 1 shows the maximum current
and horsepower range for each of the LVR-series shunts
from Dale. Even higher currents can be sensed with lower
value shunts available from vendors such as Dale, IRC,
and Isotek (Isabellenhuette). When sensing currents large
enough to cause significant heating of the shunt, the temperature coefficient of the shunt can introduce nonlinearity due to the signal dependent temperature rise of the
shunt. Using a heat sink for the shunt or using a shunt with
a lower tempco can help minimize this effect. The Application Note 1078, Designing with Avago Technologies
Isolation Amplifiers, contains additional information on
designing with current shunts.
The recommended method for connecting the isolation
amplifier to the shunt resistor is shown in Figure 24. Pin 2
(VIN+) is connected to the positive terminal of the shunt
resistor, while pin 3 (VIN–) is shorted to pin 4 (GND1), with
the power-supply return path functioning as the sense
line to the negative terminal of the current shunt. This
allows a single pair of wires or PC board traces to connect
the isolation amplifier circuit to the shunt resistor. In
some applications, however, supply currents flowing
through the power-supply return path may cause offset
or noise problems. In this case, better performance may
be obtained by connecting pin 3 to the negative terminal
of the shunt resistor separate from the power supply
return path. When connected this way, both input pins
should be bypassed. Whether two or three wires are used,
it is recommended that twisted-pair wire or very close PC
board traces be used to connect the current shunt to the
isolation amplifier circuit to minimize electromagnetic interference to the sense signal.
The 68  resistor in series with the input lead forms a
low-pass anti-aliasing filter with the input bypass capacitor
with a 200 kHz bandwidth. The resistor performs another
important function as well; it dampens any ringing which
might be present in the circuit formed by the shunt, the
input bypass capacitor, and the wires or traces connecting the two. Undampened ringing of the input circuit near
the input sampling frequency can alias into the baseband
producing what might appear to be noise at the output
of the device. To be effective, the damping resistor should
be at least 39 .
PC Board Layout
In addition to affecting offset, the layout of the PC board
can also affect the common mode rejection (CMR) performance of the isolation amplifier, due primarily to stray
capacitive coupling between the input and the output
circuits. To obtain optimal CMR performance, the layout
of the printed circuit board (PCB) should minimize any
stray coupling by maintaining the maximum possible
distance between the input and output sides of the circuit
and ensuring that any ground plane on the PCB does not
pass directly below the HCPL-7850. Using surface mount
components can help achieve many of the PCB objectives discussed in the preceding paragraphs. An example
through-hole PCB layout illustrating some of the more
important layout recommendations is shown in Figures
26 and 27. See Applications Note 1078, Designing with
Avago Technologies Isolation Amplifiers, for more information on PCB layout consideration.

Post-Amplifier Circuit
Other Information
The recommended application circuit (Figure 24) includes
a post-amplifier circuit that serves three functions: to
reference the output signal to the desired level (usually
ground), to amplify the signal to appropriate levels, and
to help filter output noise. The particular op-amp used in
the post-amp is not critical; however, it should have low
enough offset and high enough bandwidth and slew rate
so that it does not adversely affect circuit performance.
The offset of the op-amp should be low relative to the
output offset of the HCPL-7850, or less than about 5 mV.
As mentioned above, reducing the bandwidth of the
post amplifier circuit reduces the amount of output
noise. Figure 22 shows how the output noise changes
as a function of the post-amplifier bandwidth. The postamplifier circuit exhibits a first-order low-pass filter characteristic. For the same filter bandwidth, a higher-order
filter can achieve even better attenuation of modulation noise due to the second-order noise shaping of the
sigma-delta modulator. For more information on the noise
characteristics of the HCPL-7850, see Application Note
1078, Designing with Avago Technologies Isolation
Amplifiers.
To maintain overall circuit bandwidth, the post-amplifier
circuit should have a bandwidth at least twice the
minimum bandwidth of the isolation amplifier, or about
200 kHz. To obtain a bandwidth of 200 kHz with a gain
of 5, the op-amp should have a gain-bandwidth greater
than 1 mHz. The post-amplifier circuit includes a pair of
capacitors (C5 and C6) that form a single-pole low-pass
filter. These capacitors allow the bandwidth of the
post-amp to be adjusted independently of the gain and
are useful for reducing the output noise from the isolation
amplifier (doubling the capacitor values halves the circuit
bandwidth). The component values shown in Figure 24
form a differential amplifier with a gain of 5 and a cutoff
frequency of approximately 100 kHz, and were chosen
as a compromise between low noise and fast response
times. The overall recommended application circuit has a
bandwidth of 66 kHz, a rise time of 5.2 s and a delay to
90% of 8.5 s.
The gain-setting resistors in the post-amp should have a
tolerance of 1% or better to ensure adequate CMRR and
gain tolerance for the overall circuit. Resistor networks
with even better ratio tolerances can be used which
offer better performance, as well as reducing the total
component count and board space.
The post-amplifier circuit can be easily modified to allow
for single-supply operation. Figure 25 shows a schematic
for a post amplifier for use in 5 V single supply applications. One additional resistor is needed and the gain is
decreased to 1 to allow circuit operation over the full input
voltage range. See Application Note 1078, Designing with
Avago Technologies Isolation Amplifiers, for more information on the post-amplifier circuit.

The HCPL-7850 can also be used to isolate signals with
amplitudes larger than its recommended input range
through the use of a resistive voltage divider at its input.
The only restrictions are that the impedance of the divider
be relatively small (less than 1 K so that the input
resistance (480 K) and input bias current (0.6 A) do
not affect the accuracy of the measurement. An input
bypass capacitor is still required, although the 68  series
damping resistor is not. (The resistance of the voltage
divider provides the same function.) The low pass filter
formed by the divider resistance and the input bypass
capacitor may limit the achievable bandwidth.
