Description
Features
The ACPL-P314/W314 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.

Notes:
1. Maximum pulse width = 50 s, maximum duty cycle = 0.5%.
2. Maximum pulse width = 10 s, 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. In this test, VOH is measured with a DC load current. When driving capacitive load VOH will approach VCC as IOH approaches zero amps.
4. Maximum pulse width = 1 ms, maximum duty cycle = 20%.
5. The power supply current increases when operating frequency and Qg of the driven IGBT increases.
6. This load condition approximates the gate load of a 1200 V/25 A IGBT.
7. PDD is the difference between tPHL and tPLH between any two parts or channels under the same test conditions.
8. 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).
9. Common mode transient immunity in a low state is the maximum tolerable |dVCM/dt| of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output
will remain in a low state (i.e. VO < 1.0 V).

Applications Information
Eliminating Negative IGBT Gate Drive
To keep the IGBT firmly off, the ACPL-P314/W314 has a
very low maximum VOL specification of 1.0 V. Minimizing
Rg and the lead inductance from the ACPL-P314/W314
to the IGBT gate and emitter (possibly by mounting the
ACPL-P314/W314 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 ACPLP314/W314 input as this can result in unwanted coupling
of transient signals into the input of ACPL-P314/W314
and degrade performance. (If the IGBT drain must be
routed near the ACPL-P314/W314 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 ACPL-P314/W314.
Step 2: Check the ACPL-P314/W314 power dissipation
and increase Rg if necessary. The ACPL-P314/W314 total
power dissipation (PT ) is equal to the sum of the emitter
power (PE) and the output power (PO).
PT = P E + PO
P E = I F u V F u DutyCycle
P O = P O(BIAS) + P O(SWITCHING) = I CC u V CC + E SW (R g ; Q g ) u f
= (I CCBIAS + K ICC u Q g u f ) u VCC + E SW (R g ; Q g ) u 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
, Max Duty Cycle = 80%, Qg = 100 nC, f = 20 kHz and
TAMAX = 85°C:
P E = 10 mA u 1.8V u 0.8 = 14 mW
P O = (3 mA + (0.001 mA/nC u kHz) u 20 kHz u 100 nC) u 24V +

The VOL value of 5 V in the previous equation is the VOL at

Since PO for this case is less than PO(MAX), Rg = 32  is
alright for the power dissipation.

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 ACPL-P314/W314
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 optocoupler 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/s CMR while minimizing
component complexity.
Techniques to keep the LED in the proper state are
discussed in the next two sections.

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 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.

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.

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 ACPL-P314/
W314 is 1 μs (= 0.5 μs - (-0.5 μs)) over the operating temperature range of –40°C to 100°C.

Dead Time and Propagation Delay Specifications
The ACPL-P314/W314 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 high voltage 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.
