Description of Operation
during Fault Condition
1. DESAT terminal monitors the
IGBT VCE voltage through
DDESAT.
2. When the voltage on the
DESAT terminal exceeds
7 volts, the IGBT gate voltage
(VOUT) is slowly lowered.
3. FAULT output goes low,
notifying the microcontroller
of the fault condition.
4. Microcontroller takes
appropriate action.
Output Control
The outputs (VOUT and FAULT)
of the HCPL-316J are controlled
by the combination of VIN, UVLO
and a detected IGBT Desat
condition. As indicated in the
below table, the HCPL-316J can
be configured as inverting or
non-inverting using the VIN+ or
VIN- inputs respectively. When an
inverting configuration is desired,
VIN+ must be held high and VINtoggled. When a non-inverting
configuration is desired, V INmust be held low and VIN+
toggled. Once UVLO is not active
(VCC2 - V E > VUVLO ), VOUT is
allowed to go high, and the

DESAT (pin 14) detection feature

UVLO is needed to ensure DESAT
is functional. Once VUVLO+ > 11.6
V, DESAT will remain functional
until VUVLO- < 12.4 V. Thus, the
DESAT detection and UVLO
features of the HCPL-316J work in
conjunction to ensure constant
IGBT protection.

Product Overview
Description
The HCPL-316J is a highly
integrated power control device
that incorporates all the
necessary components for a
complete, isolated IGBT gate
drive circuit with fault protection
and feedback into one SO-16
package. TTL input logic levels
allow direct interface with a
microcontroller, and an optically
isolated power output stage
drives IGBTs with power ratings
of up to 150 A and 1200 V. A
high speed internal optical link
minimizes the propagation delays
between the microcontroller and
the IGBT while allowing the two
systems to operate at very large
common mode voltage
differences that are common in
industrial motor drives and other
power switching applications. An
VLED1+
output IC provides local
protection for the IGBT to
prevent damage during
overcurrents, and a second
optical link provides a fully
isolated fault status feedback
signal for the microcontroller. A
built in “watchdog” circuit
monitors the power stage supply
voltage to prevent IGBT caused
by insufficient gate drive
voltages. This integrated IGBT
gate driver is designed to
increase the performance and
reliability of a motor drive
without the cost, size, and
complexity of a discrete design.
designed on a bipolar process,
while the output Detector IC is
designed manufactured on a high
voltage BiCMOS/Power DMOS
process. The forward optical
signal path, as indicated by
LED1, transmits the gate control
signal. The return optical signal
path, as indicated by LED2,
transmits the fault status
feedback signal. Both optical
channels are completely
controlled by the input and
output ICs respectively, making
the internal isolation boundary
transparent to the
microcontroller.
Two light emitting diodes and two
integrated circuits housed in the
same SO-16 package provide the
input control circuitry, the output
power stage, and two optical
channels. The input Buffer IC is
Under normal operation, the
input gate control signal directly
controls the IGBT gate through
the isolated output detector IC.
LED2 remains off and a fault
latch in the input buffer IC is
disabled. When an IGBT fault is
detected, the output detector IC
immediately begins a “soft”
shutdown sequence, reducing the
IGBT current to zero in a
controlled manner to avoid
potential IGBT damage from
inductive overvoltages.
Simultaneously, this fault status is
transmitted back to the input
buffer IC via LED2, where the
fault latch disables the gate
control input and the active low
fault output alerts the
microcontroller.

During power-up, the Under
Voltage Lockout (UVLO) feature
prevents the application of
insufficient gate voltage to the
IGBT, by forcing the
HCPL-316J’s output low. Once
the output is in the high state, the
DESAT (VCE ) detection feature of
the HCPL-316J provides IGBT
protection. Thus, UVLO and
DESAT work in conjunction to
provide constant IGBT
protection.

RESET is not affected by UVLO. Asserting
RESET while VOUT is high does not affect
V OUT.
FAULT
Fault output. FAULT changes from a high
impedance state to a logic low output within
5 µs of the voltage on the DESAT pin
exceeding an internal reference voltage of
7 V. FAULT output remains low until RESET
is brought low. FAULT output is an open
collector which allows the FAULT outputs
from all HCPL-316Js in a circuit
to be connected together in a “wired OR”
forming a single fault bus for interfacing
directly to the micro-controller.

2. The Input-Output Momentary Withstand Voltage is a dielectric voltage
rating that should not be interpreted
as an input-output continuous voltage
rating. For the continuous voltage
rating refer to your equipment level
safety specification or VDEO884
Insulation Characteristics Table.
3. Device considered a two terminal
device: pins 1 - 8 shorted together
and pins 9 - 16 shorted together.
4. In order to achieve the absolute
maximum power dissipation
specified, pins 4, 9, and 10 require
ground plane connections and may
require airflow. See the Thermal
Model section in the application notes
at the end of this data sheet for
details on how to estimate junction
temperature and power dissipation. In
most cases the absolute maximum
output IC junction temperature is the
limiting factor. The actual power
dissipation achievable will depend on
the application environment (PCB
Layout, air flow, part placement,
etc.). See the Recommended PCB
Layout section in the application
notes for layout considerations.
Output IC power dissipation is
derated linearly at 10 mW/°C above
90°C. Input IC power dissipation does
not require derating.
5. 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 = 2.0 A. See
Applications section for additional
details on IOH peak. Derate linearly
from 3.0 A at +25°C to 2.5 A at
+100°C. This compensates for
increased IOPEAK due to changes in
VOL over temperature.
6. This supply is optional. Required only
when negative gate drive is
implemented.
7. Maximum pulse width = 50 µs,
maximum duty cycle = 0.5%.
8. See the Slow IGBT Gate Discharge
During Fault Condition section in the
applications notes at the end of this
data sheet for further details.
9. 15 V is the recommended minimum
operating positive supply voltage
(V CC2 - VE ) to ensure adequate
margin in excess of the maximum
V UVLO+ threshold of 13.5 V. For High
Level Output Voltage testing, V OH is
measured with a dc load current.
When driving capacitive loads, V OH
will approach VCC as IOH approaches
zero units.
10. Maximum pulse width = 1.0 ms,
maximum duty cycle = 20%.
11. Once V OUT of the HCPL-316J is
allowed to go high (V CC2 - V E >
V UVLO), the DESAT detection feature
of the HCPL-316J will be the primary
source of IGBT protection. UVLO is
needed to ensure DESAT is
functional. Once VUVLO+ > 11.6 V,
DESAT will remain functional until
V UVLO- < 12.4 V. Thus, the DESAT
detection and UVLO features of the
HCPL-316J work in conjunction to
ensure constant IGBT protection.
12. See the Blanking Time Control
section in the applications notes at
the end of this data sheet for further
details.
13. This is the “increasing” (i.e. turn-on
or “positive going” direction) of
VCC2 - VE.
14. This is the “decreasing” (i.e. turn-off
or “negative going” direction) of
VCC2 - VE.
15. This load condition approximates the
gate load of a 1200 V/75A IGBT.
16. Pulse Width Distortion (PWD) is
defined as |tPHL - tPLH| for any given
unit.
17. As measured from VIN+ , VIN- to VOUT.
18. The difference between tPHL and tPLH
between any two HCPL-316J parts
under the same test conditions.
19. Supply Voltage Dependent.
20. This is the amount of time from when
the DESAT threshold is exceeded,
until the FAULT output goes low.
21. This is the amount of time the DESAT
threshold must be exceeded before
VOUT begins to go low, and the
FAULT output to go low.
22. This is the amount of time from when
RESET is asserted low, until FAULT
output goes high. The minimum
specification of 3 µs is the guaranteed
minimum FAULT signal pulse width
when the HCPL-316J is configured
for Auto-Reset. See the Auto-Reset
section in the applications notes at
the end of this data sheet for further
details.
23. 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 > 15 V or FAULT > 2 V). A
100 pF and a 3K Ω pull-up resistor is
needed in fault detection mode.
24. Common mode transient immunity in
the 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 or FAULT < 0.8 V).
25. Does not include LED2 current
during fault or blanking capacitor
discharge current.
26. To clamp the output voltage at
VCC - 3 VBE , a pull-down resistor
between the output and VEE is
recommended to sink a static current
of 650 µA while the output is high.
See the Output Pull-Down Resistor
section in the application notes at the
end of this data sheet if an output
pull-down resistor is not used.
27. The recommended output pull-down
resistor between VOUT and VEE does
not contribute any output current
when VOUT = VEE .
28. In most applications VCC1 will be
powered up first (before VCC2 ) and
powered down last (after VCC2 ). This
is desirable for maintaining control of
the IGBT gate. In applications where
VCC2 is powered up first, it is
important to ensure that Vin+ remains
low until VCC1 reaches the proper
operating voltage (minimum 4.5 V) to
avoid any momentary instability at
the output during VCC1 ramp-up or
ramp-down.

Applications Information
Typical Application/
Operation
Introduction to Fault
Detection and Protection
The power stage of a typical three
phase inverter is susceptible to
several types of failures, most of
which are potentially destructive
to the power IGBTs. These failure
modes can be grouped into four
basic categories: phase and/or
rail supply short circuits due to
user misconnect or bad wiring,
control signal failures due to
noise or computational errors,
overload conditions induced by
the load, and component failures
in the gate drive circuitry. Under
any of these fault conditions, the
current through the IGBTs can
increase rapidly, causing
excessive power dissipation and
heating. The IGBTs become
damaged when the current load
approaches the saturation current
of the device, and the collector to
emitter voltage rises above the
saturation voltage level. The
drastically increased power
dissipation very quickly overheats
the power device and destroys it.
To prevent damage to the drive,
fault protection must be
implemented to reduce or
turn-off the overcurrents during a
fault condition.
A circuit providing fast local fault
detection and shutdown is an
ideal solution, but the number of
required components, board
space consumed, cost, and
complexity have until now limited
its use to high performance
drives. The features which this
circuit must have are high speed,
low cost, low resolution, low
power dissipation, and small size.
The HCPL-316J satisfies these
criteria by combining a high
speed, high output current driver,
high voltage optical isolation
between the input and output,
local IGBT desaturation detection
and shut down, and an optically
isolated fault status feedback
signal into a single 16-pin surface
mount package.
The fault detection method,
which is adopted in the
HCPL-316J, is to monitor the
saturation (collector) voltage of
the IGBT and to trigger a local
fault shutdown sequence if the
collector voltage exceeds a
predetermined threshold. A small
gate discharge device slowly
reduces the high short circuit
IGBT current to prevent
damaging voltage spikes. Before
the dissipated energy can reach
destructive levels, the IGBT is
shut off. During the off state of
the IGBT, the fault detect
circuitry is simply disabled to
prevent false ‘fault’ signals.
The alternative protection
scheme of measuring IGBT
current to prevent desaturation is
effective if the short circuit
capability of the power device is
known, but this method will fail if
the gate drive voltage decreases
enough to only partially turn on
the IGBT. By directly measuring
the collector voltage, the
HCPL-316J limits the power
dissipation in the IGBT even with
insufficient gate drive voltage.
Another more subtle advantage of
the desaturation detection
method is that power dissipation
in the IGBT is monitored, while
the current sense method relies
on a preset current threshold to
predict the safe limit of
operation. Therefore, an overlyconservative overcurrent
threshold is not needed to protect
the IGBT.
Recommended Application
Circuit
The HCPL-316J has both
inverting and non-inverting gate
control inputs, an active low reset
input, and an open collector fault
output suitable for wired ‘OR’
applications. The recommended
application circuit shown in
Figure 62 illustrates a typical
gate drive implementation using
the HCPL-316J.
The four supply bypass
capacitors (0.1 µF) provide the
large transient currents necessary
during a switching transition.
Because of the transient nature of
the charging currents, a low
current (5 mA) power supply
suffices. The desat diode and 100
pF capacitor are the necessary
external components for the fault
detection circuitry. The gate
resistor (10 Ω) serves to limit
gate charge current and indirectly
control the IGBT collector
voltage rise and fall times. The
open collector fault output has a
passive 3.3 kΩ pull-up resistor
and a 330 pF filtering capacitor.
A 47 kΩ pulldown resistor on
VOUT provides a more predictable
high level output voltage (VOH).
In this application, the IGBT gate
driver will shut down when a fault
is detected and will not resume
switching until the
microcontroller applies a reset
signal.

Description of Operation/
Timing
Figure 63 below illustrates input
and output waveforms under the
conditions of normal operation, a
desat fault condition, and normal
reset behavior.
Normal Operation
During normal operation, VOUT of
the HCPL-316J is controlled by
either VIN+ or VIN-, with the IGBT
collector-to-emitter voltage being
monitored through DDESAT. The

the purpose of notifying the
micro-controller of the fault
condition. See Figure 63.
Fault Condition
When the voltage on the DESAT
pin exceeds 7 V while the IGBT is
on, VOUT is slowly brought low in
order to “softly” turn-off the IGBT
and prevent large di/dt induced
voltages. Also activated is an
internal feedback channel which
brings the FAULT output low for
Reset
The FAULT output remains low
until RESET is brought low. See
Figure 63. While asserting the
RESET pin (LOW), the input pins
must be asserted for an output
low state (VIN+ is LOW or VIN- is
HIGH). This may be
accomplished either by software
control (i.e. of the
microcontroller) or hardware
control (see Figures 73 and 74).

Slow IGBT Gate
Discharge During Fault
Condition
When a desaturation fault is
detected, a weak pull-down
device in the HCPL-316J output
drive stage will turn on to ‘softly’
turn off the IGBT. This device
slowly discharges the IGBT gate
to prevent fast changes in drain
current that could cause
damaging voltage spikes due to
lead and wire inductance. During
the slow turn off, the large output
pull-down device remains off until
the output voltage falls below VEE
+ 2 Volts, at which time the large
pull down device clamps the
IGBT gate to VEE.
DESAT Fault Detection
Blanking Time
The DESAT fault detection
circuitry must remain disabled for
a short time period following the
turn-on of the IGBT to allow the
collector voltage to fall below the
DESAT theshold. This time
period, called the DESAT
blanking time, is controlled by
the internal DESAT charge
current, the DESAT voltage
threshold, and the external
DESAT capacitor. The nominal
blanking time is calculated in
terms of external capacitance
(CBLANK), FAULT threshold
voltage (VDESAT), and DESAT
charge current (ICHG) as
tBLANK = CBLANK x V DESAT / ICHG.
The nominal blanking time with
the recommended 100 pF
capacitor is 100 pF * 7 V / 250 µA
= 2.8 µsec. The capacitance
value can be scaled slightly to
adjust the blanking time, though
a value smaller than 100 pF is not
recommended. This nominal
blanking time also represents the
longest time it will take for the
HCPL-316J to respond to a
DESAT fault condition. If the
IGBT is turned on while the
collector and emitter are shorted
to the supply rails (switching into
a short), the soft shut-down
sequence will begin after
approximately 3 µsec. If the IGBT
collector and emitter are shorted
to the supply rails after the IGBT
is already on, the response time
will be much quicker due to the
parasitic parallel capacitance of
the DESAT diode. The
recommended 100 pF capacitor
should provide adequate blanking
as well as fault response times for
most applications.
Under Voltage Lockout
The HCPL-316J Under Voltage
Lockout (UVLO) feature is
designed to prevent the
application of insufficient gate
voltage to the IGBT by forcing
the HCPL-316J output low during
power-up. IGBTs typically require
gate voltages of 15 V to achieve
their rated VCE(ON) voltage. At
gate voltages below 13 V
typically, their on-voltage
increases dramatically, especially
at higher currents. At very low
gate voltages (below 10 V), the
IGBT may operate in the linear
region and quickly overheat. The
UVLO function causes the output
to be clamped whenever
insufficient operating supply
(VCC2 ) is applied. Once VCC2
exceeds VUVLO+ (the positivegoing UVLO threshold), the
UVLO clamp is released to allow
the device output to turn on in
response to input signals. As
VCC2 is increased from 0 V (at
some level below VUVLO+), first
the DESAT protection circuitry
becomes active. As VCC2 is
further increased (above
VUVLO+), the UVLO clamp is
released. Before the time the
UVLO clamp is released, the
DESAT protection is already
active. Therefore, the UVLO and
DESAT FAULT DETECTION
features work together to provide
seamless protection regardless of
supply voltage (VCC2).

Behavioral Circuit
Schematic
The functional behavior of the
HCPL-316J is represented by the
logic diagram in Figure 64 which
fully describes the interaction and
sequence of internal and external
signals in the HCPL-316J.
Input IC
In the normal switching mode, no
output fault has been detected,
and the low state of the fault
latch allows the input signals to
control the signal LED. The fault
output is in the open-collector
state, and the state of the Reset
pin does not affect the control of
the IGBT gate. When a fault is
detected, the FAULT output and
are never on at the same time. If
an undervoltage condition is
detected, the output will be
actively pulled low by the 50x
DMOS device, regardless of the
LED state. If an IGBT
desaturation fault is detected
while the signal LED is on, the
Fault signal will latch in the high
state. The triple darlington AND
the 50x DMOS device are
disabled, and a smaller 1x DMOS
pull-down device is activated to
slowly discharge the IGBT gate.
When the output drops below two
volts, the 50x DMOS device again
turns on, clamping the IGBT gate
firmly to Vee. The Fault signal
remains latched in the high state
until the signal LED turns off.
signal input are both latched. The
fault output changes to an active
low state, and the signal LED is
forced off (output LOW). The
latched condition will persist until
the Reset pin is pulled low.
Output IC
Three internal signals control the
state of the driver output: the
state of the signal LED, as well as
the UVLO and Fault signals. If no
fault on the IGBT collector is
detected, and the supply voltage
is above the UVLO threshold, the
LED signal will control the driver
output state. The driver stage
logic includes an interlock to
ensure that the pull-up and pulldown devices in the output stage

DESAT Pin Protection
The freewheeling of flyback
diodes connected across the
IGBTs can have large
instantaneous forward voltage
transients which greatly exceed
the nominal forward voltage of
the diode. This may result in a
large negative voltage spike on
the DESAT pin which will draw
substantial current out of the IC if
protection is not used. To limit
this current to levels that will not
damage the IC, a 100 ohm
resistor should be inserted in
series with the DESAT diode. The
added resistance will not alter the
DESAT threshold or the DESAT
blanking time.
value of 15 kV/µs. The added
capacitance does not increase the
fault output delay when a
desaturation condition is
detected.
The application circuit in Figure
62 includes an output pull-down
resistor, a DESAT pin protection
resistor, a FAULT pin capacitor
(330 pF), and a FAULT pin pullup resistor.
Output Pull-Down Resistor
During the output high transition,
the output voltage rapidly rises to
within 3 diode drops of VCC2 . If
the output current then drops to
zero due to a capacitive load, the
output voltage will slowly rise
from roughly VCC2-3(VBE) to VCC2
within a period of several
microseconds. To limit the output
voltage to VCC2 -3(VBE ), a pulldown resistor between the output
and VEE is recommended to sink
a static current of several 650 µA
while the output is high. Pulldown resistor values are
dependent on the amount of
positive supply and can be
adjusted according to the
formula, Rpull-down =
[VCC2 -3 * (VBE )] / 650 µA.
Capacitor on FAULT Pin for
High CMR
Rapid common mode transients
can affect the fault pin voltage
while the fault output is in the
high state. A 330 pF capacitor
(Fig. 66) should be connected
between the fault pin and ground
to achieve adequate CMOS noise
margins at the specified CMR
Pull-up Resistor on FAULT Pin
The FAULT pin is an opencollector output and therefore
requires a pull-up resistor to
provide a high-level signal.
Driving with Standard CMOS/
TTL for High CMR
Capacitive coupling from the
isolated high voltage circuitry to
the input referred circuitry is the
primary CMR limitation. This
coupling must be accounted for
to achieve high CMR performance. The input pins VIN+ and
VIN- must have active drive
signals to prevent unwanted
switching of the output under
extreme common mode transient
conditions. Input drive circuits
that use pull-up or pull-down
resistors, such as open collector
configurations, should be
avoided. Standard CMOS or TTL
drive circuits are recommended.
25
User-Configuration of the
HCPL-316J Input Side
The VIN+, VIN-, FAULT and
RESET input pins make a wide
variety of gate control and fault
configurations possible,
depending on the motor drive
requirements. The HCPL-316J
has both inverting and noninverting gate control inputs, an
open collector fault output
suitable for wired ‘OR’
applications and an active low
reset input.
Driving Input pf HCPL-316J in
Non-Inverting/Inverting Mode
The Gate Drive Voltage Output of
the HCPL-316J can be
configured as inverting or
non-inverting using the VIN– and
VIN+ inputs. As shown in Figure
68, when a non-inverting
configuration is desired, V IN– is
held low by connecting it to
GND1 and VIN+ is toggled. As
shown in Figure 69, when an
inverting configuration is desired,
VIN+ is held high by connecting it
to VCC1 and VIN– is toggled.

Local Shutdown, Local Reset
As shown in Figure 70, the fault
output of each HCPL-316J gate
driver is polled separately, and
the individual reset lines are
asserted low independently to
reset the motor controller after a
fault condition.
Global-Shutdown, Global
Reset
As shown in Figure 71, when
configured for inverting
operation, the HCPL-316J can be
configured to shutdown
automatically in the event of a
fault condition by tying the
FAULT output to VIN+. For high
reliability drives, the open
collector FAULT outputs of each
HCPL-316J can be wire ‘OR’ed
together on a common fault bus,
forming a single fault bus for
interfacing directly to the microcontroller. When any of the six
gate drivers detects a fault, the
fault output signal will disable all
six HCPL-316J gate drivers
simultaneously and thereby
provide protection against further
catastrophic failures.
Auto-Reset
As shown in Figure 72, when the
inverting VIN- input is connected
to ground (non-inverting
configuration), the HCPL-316J
can be configured to reset
automatically by connecting
RESET to V IN+. In this case, the
gate control signal is applied to
the non-inverting input as well as
the reset input to reset the fault
latch every switching cycle.
During normal operation of the
IGBT, asserting the reset input
low has no effect. Following a
fault condition, the gate driver
remains in the latched fault state
until the gate control signal
changes to the ‘gate low’ state
and resets the fault latch. If the

microcontroller, but this signal

Resetting Following a Fault
Condition
To resume normal switching
operation following a fault
condition (FAULT output low),
the RESET pin must first be
asserted low in order to release
the internal fault latch and reset
the FAULT output (high). Prior to
asserting the RESET pin low, the
input (VIN) switching signals must
be configured for an output (VOL)
low state. This can be handled
directly by the microcontroller or
by hardwiring to synchronize the
RESET signal with the
appropriate input signal. Figure
73a shows how to connect the
RESET to the VIN+ signal for safe
automatic reset in the noninverting input configuration.
Figure 73b shows how to
configure the VIN+/RESET signals
so that a RESET signal from the
microcontroller causes the input
to be in the “output-off” state.
Similarly, Figures 73c and 73d
show automatic RESET and
microcontroller RESET safe
configurations for the inverting
input configuration.

HCPL-316J Output Side
RG and Optional Resistor R C:
The value of the gate resistor RG
(along with VCC2 and V EE)
determines the maximum amount
of gate-charging/discharging
current (ION,PEAK and IOFF,PEAK)
and thus should be carefully
chosen to match the size of the
IGBT being driven. Often it is
desirable to have the peak gate
charge current be somewhat less

Configuration (Automatically Resets for Every VINInput).
than the peak discharge current
(ION,PEAK < IOFF,PEAK). For this
condition, an optional resistor
(R C) can be used along with RG
to independently determine
ION,PEAK and IOFF,PEAK without
using a steering diode. As an
example, refer to Figure 74.
Assuming that RG is already
determined and that the design
IOH,PEAK = 0.5 A, the value of RC
can be estimated in the following
way:
RC + R G = [VCC2 – VOH – (VEE)]
IOH,PEAK
= [4 V – (-5 V)]
0.5 A
= 18 Ω
➯ RC = 8 Ω
See “Power and Layout
Considerations” section for more
information on calculating value
of RG.

Higher Output Current Using
an External Current Buffer:
To increase the IGBT gate drive
current, a non-inverting current
buffer (such as the npn/pnp
buffer shown in Figure 75) may
be used. Inverting types are not
compatible with the desaturation
fault protection circuitry and
should be avoided. To preserve
the slow IGBT turn-off feature
during a fault condition, a 10 nF
capacitor should be connected
from the buffer input to VEE and
a 10 Ω resistor inserted between
the output and the common npn/
pnp base. The MJD44H11 /
MJD45H11 pair is appropriate
for currents up to 8A maximum.
The D44VH10 / D45VH10 pair is
appropriate for currents up to 15
A maximum.

allowing sensing of the IGBT’s
saturated collector-to-emitter
voltage, VCESAT, (when the IGBT
is “on”) and to block high
voltages (when the IGBT is “off”).
During the short period of time
when the IGBT is switching, there
is commonly a very high dVCE/dt
voltage ramp rate across the
IGBT’s collector-to-emitter. This
results in ICHARGE (= CD-DESAT x
dVCE/dt) charging current which
will charge the blanking
capacitor, CBLANK. In order to
minimize this charging current
and avoid false DESAT triggering,
it is best to use fast response
diodes. Listed in the below table
are fast-recovery diodes that are
suitable for use as a DESAT diode
(DDESAT). In the recommended
application circuit shown in
Figure 62, the voltage on pin 14
(DESAT) is VDESAT = VF + VCE,
(where VF is the forward ON
voltage of DDESAT and VCE is the
IGBT collector-to-emitter
voltage). The value of VCE which
triggers DESAT to signal a
FAULT condition, is nominally 7V
– VF. If desired, this DESAT
threshold voltage can be
decreased by using multiple
DESAT diodes in series. If n is
the number of DESAT diodes
then the nominal threshold value
becomes VCE,FAULT(TH) = 7 V – n
x VF. In the case of using two
diodes instead of one, diodes with
half of the total required
maximum reverse-voltage rating
may be chosen.

The steps for doing this are:
1. Calculate the minimum desired
RG;
2. Calculate total power
dissipation in the part
referring to Figure 77.
29
As an example, the total input
and output power dissipation can
be calculated given the following
conditions:
• ION, MAX ~ 2.0 A
• VCC2 = 18 V
• VEE = -5 V
• fCARRIER = 15 kHz
Step 1: Calculate RG minimum
from I OL peak specification:
To find the peak charging lOL
assume that the gate is initially
charged the steady-state value of
VEE. Therefore apply the
following relationship:
RG =
[VOH@650 µA – (VOL+VEE)]
I OL,PEAK
= [V CC2 – 1 – (VOL + VEE )]
IOL,PEAK
18 V – 1 V – (1.5 V + (-5 V))

= 10.25 Ω
≈ 10.5 Ω (for a 1% resistor)
The HCPL-316J total power
dissipation (PT) is equal to the
sum of the input-side power (P I)
and output-side power (PO):
Step 2: Calculate total power
dissipation in the HCPL-316J:

For RG = 10.5, the value read
from Figure 77 is E SWITCH =

average I CC1 = 16.5 mA (which is
given by the average of I CC1H and
ICC1L ). Similarly the average
ICC2 = 5.5 mA.
P I = 16.5 mA * 5.5 V = 90.8 mW
P O = P O(BIAS) + PO,SWITCH
= 5.5 mA * (18 V – (–5 V)) +

= 217.3 mW

maximum recommended level

Please refer to the following
Thermal Model section for an
explanation on how to calculate
the maximum junction
temperature of the HCPL-316J
for a given PC board layout
configuration.
30
Thermal Model
The HCPL-316J is designed to
dissipate the majority of the heat
through pins 4 for the input IC
and pins 9 and 10 for the output
IC. (There are two VEE pins on
the output side, pins 9 and 10,
for this purpose.) Heat flow
through other pins or through the
package directly into ambient are
considered negligible and not
modeled here.
In order to achieve the power
dissipation specified in the
absolute maximum specification,
it is imperative that pins 4, 9, and
10 have ground planes connected
to them. As long as the maximum
power specification is not
exceeded, the only other limitation to the amount of power one
can dissipate is the absolute
maximum junction temperature
specification of 125°C. The
junction temperatures can be
calculated with the following
equations:
Since θ4A and θ9,10A are
dependent on PCB layout and
airflow, their exact number may
not be available. Therefore, a
more accurate method of calculating the junction temperature is
with the following equations:
T ji = Piθi4 + TP4
T jo = Poθo9,10 + TP9,10
These equations, however,
require that the pin 4 and pins
9,10 temperatures be measured
with a thermal couple on the pin
at the HCPL-316J package edge.
From the earlier power
dissipation calculation
example:
Pi = 90.8 mW, Po = 314 mW, TA
= 100°C, and assuming the
thermal model shown in Figure
77 below.
Tji = (90.8 mW)(60°C/W
+ 50°C/W) + 100°C = 110°C
Tji = Pi(θi4 + θ4A) + TA
Tjo = Po (θo9,10 + θ9,10A) + TA
Tjo = (240 mW)(30°C/W
+ 50°C/W) + 100°C = 119°C
where Pi = power into input IC
and Po = power into output IC.
both of which are within the
absolute maximum specification
of 125°C.
Tjo
Tji
θi4 = 60°C/W
θO9,10 = 30°C/W
TP4
TP9,10
θ4A = 50°C/W*
θ9,10A = 50°C/W*
If we, however, assume a worst
case PCB layout and no air flow
where the estimated θ4A and
θ9,10A are 100°C/W. Then the
junction temperatures become
Tji = (90.8 mW)(60°C/W
+ 100°C/W) + 100°C = 115°C
Tjo = (240 mW)(30°C/W
+ 100°C/W) + 100°C = 131°C
The output IC junction
temperature exceeds the absolute
maximum specification of 125°C.
In this case, PCB layout and
airflow will need to be designed
so that the junction temperature
of the output IC does not exceed
125°C.
If the calculated junction
temperatures for the thermal
model in Figure 78 is higher than
125°C, the pin temperature for
pins 9 and 10 should be
measured (at the package edge)
under worst case operating
environment for a more accurate
estimate of the junction
temperatures.
Tji = junction temperature of input side IC
Tjo = junction temperature of output side IC
TP4 = pin 4 temperature at package edge
TP9,10 = pin 9 and 10 temperature at package edge
θI4 = input side IC to pin 4 thermal resistance
θI9,10 = output side IC to pin 9 and 10 thermal resistance
θ4A = pin 4 to ambient thermal resistance
θ9,10A = pin 9 and 10 to ambient thermal resistance
TA
*The θ4A and θ9,10A values shown here are for PCB layouts shown in Figure 78 with
reasonable air flow. This value may increase or decrease by a factor of 2 depending
on PCB layout and/or airflow.

Printed Circuit Board
Layout Considerations
Adequate spacing should always
be maintained between the high
voltage isolated circuitry and any
input referenced circuitry. Care
must be taken to provide the
same minimum spacing between
two adjacent high-side isolated
regions of the printed circuit
board. Insufficient spacing will
reduce the effective isolation and
increase parasitic coupling that
will degrade CMR performance.
The placement and routing of
supply bypass capacitors requires
special attention. During switching transients, the majority of the
gate charge is supplied by the
Figure 79. Recommended Layout(s).
bypass capacitors. Maintaining
short bypass capacitor trace
lengths will ensure low supply
ripple and clean switching
waveforms.
Ground Plane connections are
necessary for pin 4 (GND1) and
pins 9 and 10 (V EE) in order to
achieve maximum power
dissipation as the HCPL-316J is
designed to dissipate the majority
of heat generated through these
pins. Actual power dissipation
will depend on the application
environment (PCB layout, air
flow, part placement, etc.) See
the Thermal Model section for
details on how to estimate
junction temperature.
The layout examples below have
good supply bypassing and
thermal properties, exhibit small
PCB footprints, and have easily
connected signal and supply
lines. The four examples cover
single sided and double sided
component placement, as well as
minimal and improved
performance circuits.
System Considerations
Propagation Delay Difference
(PDD)
The HCPL-316J includes a
Propagation Delay Difference
(PDD) specification intended to
help designers minimize “dead
time” in their power inverter
designs. Dead time is the time
period during which both the
high and low side power
transistors (Q1 and Q2 in
Figure 62) are off. Any overlap in
Q1 and Q2 conduction will result
in large currents flowing through
the power devices between the
high and low voltage motor rails,
a potentially catastrophic condition that must be prevented.
To minimize dead time in a given
design, the turn-on of the
HCPL-316J driving Q2 should be
delayed (relative to the turn-off
of the HCPL-316J driving Q1) so
that under worst-case conditions,
transistor Q1 has just turned off
when transistor Q2 turns on, as
shown in Figure 80. The amount
of delay necessary to achieve this
condition is equal to the maximum value of the propagation
delay difference specification,
PDDMAX, which is specified to be
400 ns over the operating
temperature range of -40°C to
100°C.
Delaying the HCPL-316J turn-on
signals 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 specifications as
shown in Figure 81. The
maximum dead time for the
HCPL-316J is 800 ns (= 400 ns (-400 ns)) over an 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.
