Description
The HCPL-2602/12 are optically coupled line receivers that combine a GaAsP light emitting diode, an input current regulator and an integrated high gain photo detector. The input regulator serves as a line termination for line receiver applications. It clamps the line voltage and regulates the LED current so line reflections do not interfere with circuit performance. The regulator allows a typical LED current of 8.5 mA before it starts to shunt excess current. The output of the detector IC is

an open collector Schottky clamped transistor. An enable input gates the detector. The internal detector shield provides a guaranteed common mode transient immunity specification of 1000 V/s for the 2602, and 3500 V/s for the 2612.
DC specifications are defined similar to TTL logic. The optocoupler ac and dc operational parameters are guaranteed from 0C to 70C allowing trouble-free interfacing with digital logic circuits. An input current of 5 mA will sink an eight gate fan-out (TTL) at the output.
The HCPL-2602/12 are useful as line receivers in high noise environments that conventional line receivers cannot tolerate. The higher LED threshold voltage provides improved immunity to differential noise and the internally shielded detector provides orders of magnitude improvement in common mode rejection with little or no sacrifice in speed.

Notes: 1. Bypassing of the power supply line is required, with a 0.1 F ceramic disc capacitor adjacent to each optocoupler as illustrated in Figure 15. Total lead length between both ends of the capacitor and the isolator pins should not exceed 20 mm. 2. Device considered a two terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together, and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together. 3. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 3.75 mA point on the falling edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the output pulse. 4. The tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 3.75 mA point on the rising edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the falling edge of the output pulse. 5. The tELH enable propagation delay is measured from the 1.5 V point on the falling edge of the enable input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the output pulse. 6. The tEHL enable propagation delay is measured from the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the enable input pulse to the 1.5 V point on the falling edge of the output pulse. 7. CMH is the maximum tolerable rate of rise of the common mode voltage to assure that the output will remain in a high logic state (i.e., VOUT > 2.0 V). 8. CML is the maximum tolerable rate of fall of the common mode voltage to assure that the output will remain in a low logic state (i.e., VOUT < 0.8 V). 9. For sinusoidal voltages, |dvCM| ------ = fCMVCM (p-p) dt max 10. No external pull up is required for a high logic state on the enable input. If the VE pin is not used, tying VE to VCC will result in improved CMR performance. 11. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage of 3000 for one second (leakage detection current limit, Ii-o 5 A). 12. tPSK is equal to the worst case difference in tPHL and/or tPLH that will be seen between units at any given temperature within the operating condition range. 13. See application section titled "Propagation Delay, Pulse-Width Distortion and Propagation Delay Skew" for more information.

Using the HCPL-2602/12 Line Receiver Optocouplers
The primary objectives to fulfill when connecting an optocoupler to a transmission line are to provide a minimum, but not excessive, LED current and to properly terminate the line. The internal regulator in the HCPL2602/12 simplifies this task. Excess current from variable drive conditions such as line length variations, line driver differences, and power supply fluctuations are shunted by the regulator. In fact, with the LED current regulated, the line current can be increased to improve the immunity of the system to differential-mode-noise and to enhance the data rate capability. The designer must keep in mind the 60 mA input current maximum rating of the HCPL-2602/12 in such cases, and may need to use series limiting or shunting to prevent overstress. Design of the termination circuit is also simplified; in most cases the transmission line can simply be connected directly to the input terminals of the HCPL-2602/12 without the need for additional series or shunt resistors. If reversing line drive is used it may be desirable to use two HCPL2602/12 or an external Schottky diode to optimize data rate.
termination," but they do not interfere with circuit performance because the regulator clamps the line voltage. At longer line lengths, tPLH increases faster than tPHL since the switching threshold is not exactly halfway between asymptotic line conditions. If optimum data rate is desired, a series resistor and peaking capacitor can be used to equalize tPLH and tPHL. In general, the peaking capacitance should be as large as possible; however, if it is too large it may keep the regulator from achieving turn-off during the negative (or zero) excursions of the input signal. A safe rule: make C 16t where: C = peaking capacitance in picofarads t = data bit interval in nanoseconds
then connected in ANTI-SERIES; however, because of the higher steady-state termination voltage, in comparison to the single HCPL-2602/12 termination, the forward current in the substrate diode is lower and consequently there is less junction charge to deal with when switching. Closing switch B with A open is done mainly to enhance common mode rejection, but also reduces propagation delay slightly because line-to-line capacitance offers a slight peaking effect. With switches A and B both CLOSED, the shield acts as a current return path which prevents either input substrate diode from becoming reversed biased. Thus the data rate is optimized as shown in Figure (c).
Improved Noise Rejection
Use of additional logic at the output of two HCPL-2602/12s, operated in the split phase termination, will greatly improve system noise rejection in addition to balancing propagation delays as discussed earlier. A NAND flip-flop offers infinite common mode rejection (CMR) for NEGATIVELY sloped common mode transients but requires tPHL > tPLH for proper operation. A NOR flip-flop has infinite CMR for POSITIVELY sloped transients but requires tPHL < tPLH for proper operation. An exclusive-OR flipflop has infinite CMR for common mode transients of EITHER polarity and operates with either tPHL > tPLH or tPHL < tPLH. With the line driver and transmission line shown in Figure (c), tPHL > tPLH, so NAND gates are preferred in the R-S flip-flop. A higher drive amplitude or
Polarity Reversing Drive
A single HCPL-2602/12 can also be used with polarity reversing drive (Figure b). Current reversal is obtained by way of the substrate isolation diode (substrate to collector). Some reduction of data rate occurs, however, because the substrate diode stores charge, which must be removed when the current changes to the forward direction. The effect of this is a longer tPHL. This effect can be eliminated and data rate improved considerably by use of a Schottky diode on the input of the HCPL-2602/12. For optimum noise rejection as well as balanced delays, a splitphase termination should be used along with a flip-flop at the output (Figure c). The result of current reversal in split-phase operation is seen in Figure (c) with switches A and B both OPEN. The coupler inputs are
Polarity Non-Reversing Drive
High data rates can be obtained with the HCPL-2602/12 with polarity non-reversing drive. Figure (a) illustrates how a 74S140 line driver can be used with the HCPL-2602/12 and shielded, twisted pair or coax cable without any additional components. There are some reflections due to the "active

different circuit configuration could make tPHL < tPLH, in which case NOR gates would be preferred. If it is not known whether tPHL > tPLH or tPHL < tPLH, or if the drive conditions may vary over the boundary for these conditions, the exclusive-OR flip-flop of Figure (d) should be used.
RS-422 and RS-423
Line drivers designed for RS-422 and RS-423 generally provide adequate voltage and current for operating the HCPL-2602/12. Most drivers also have characteristics allowing the HCPL-2602/12 to be connected directly to the driver terminals. Worst case drive conditions, however, would require current shunting to prevent overstress of the HCPL-2602/12.
and often determines the maximum data rate capability of a transmission system. PWD can be expressed in percent by dividing the PWD (in ns) by the minimum pulse width (in ns) being transmitted. Typically, PWD on the order of 20-30% of the minimum pulse width is tolerable; the exact figure depends on the particular application (RS232, RS422, T-1, etc.). Propagation delay skew, tPSK, is an important parameter to consider in parallel data applications where synchronization of signals on parallel data lines is a concern. If the parallel data is being sent through a group of optocouplers, differences in propagation delays will cause the data to arrive at the outputs of the optocouplers at different times. If this difference in propagation delays is large enough, it will determine the maximum rate at which parallel data can be sent through the optocouplers. Propagation delay skew is defined as the difference between the minimum and maximum propagation delays, either tPLH or tPHL, for any given group of optocouplers which are operating under the same conditions (i.e., the same drive current, supply voltage, output load, and operating temperature). As illustrated in Figure 16, if the inputs of a group of optocouplers are switched either ON or OFF at the same time, tPSK is the difference between the shortest propagation delay, either tPHL or tPHL, and the longest propagation delay, either tPLH or tPHL.
As mentioned earlier, tPSK can determine the maximum parallel data transmission rate. Figure 17 is the timing diagram of a typical parallel data application with both the clock and the data lines being sent through optocouplers. The figure shows data and clock signals at the inputs and outputs of the optocouplers. To obtain the maximum data transmission rate, both edges of the clock signal are being used to clock the data; if only one edge were used, the clock signal would need to be twice as fast. Propagation delay skew represents the uncertainty of where an edge might be after being sent through an optocoupler. Figure 17 shows that there will be uncertainty in both the data and the clock lines. It is important that these two areas of uncertainty not overlap, otherwise the clock signal might arrive before all of the data outputs have settled, or some of the data outputs may start to change before the clock signal has arrived. From these considerations, the absolute minimum pulse width that can be sent through optocouplers in a parallel application is twice tPSK. A cautious design should use a slightly longer pulse width to ensure that any additional uncertainty in the rest of the circuit does not cause a problem. The tPSK specified optocouplers offer the advantages of guaranteed specifications for propagation delays, pulse-width distortion and propagation delay skew over the recommended temperature, input current, and power supply ranges.
Propagation Delay, PulseWidth Distortion and Propagation Delay Skew
Propagation delay is a figure of merit which describes how quickly a logic signal propagates through a system. The propagation delay from low to high (tPLH) is the amount of time required for an input signal to propagate to the output, causing the output to change from low to high. Similarly, the propagation delay from high to low (tPHL) is the amount of time required for the input signal to propagate to the output, causing the output to change from high to low (see Figure 6). Pulse-width distortion (PWD) results when tPLH and tPHL differ in value. PWD is defined as the difference between tPLH and tPHL
