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. 11. The tELH 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. 12. CM H is the maximum tolerable rate of rise on the common mode voltage to assure that the output will remain in a high logic state (i.e., V o > 2.0 V). 13. CM L 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., V o < 0.8 V). 14. For sinusoidal voltages, (|dVCM | / dt)max = fCMVCM (p-p). 15. 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. For single channel products only. See application information provided. 16.

Two main points to note are: 1. The enable pin is tied to V CC rather than floating (this applies to single-channel parts only). 2. Two LED-current setting resistors are used instead of one. This is to balance ILED variation during commonmode transients. If the enable pin is left floating, it is possible for common-mode transients to couple to the enable pin, resulting in common-mode failure. This failure mechanism only occurs when the LED is on and the output is in the Low State. It is identified as occurring when the transient output voltage rises above 0.8 V. Therefore, the enable pin should be connected to either V CC or logic-level high for best common-mode performance with the output low (CMRL ). This failure mechanism is only present in single-channel parts which have the enable function. Also, common-mode transients can capacitively couple from the LED anode (or cathode) to the output-side ground causing current to be shunted away from the LED (which can be bad if the LED is on) or conversely cause current to be injected into the LED (bad if the LED is meant to be off). Figure 14 shows the parasitic capacitances which exists between LED anode/cathode and output ground (C LA and C LC). Also shown in Figure 14 on the input side is an AC-equivalent circuit. * HCPL-260L 1 VCC 8 VCC+ 0.01 F 220 220 74LS04 OR ANY TOTEM-POLE OUTPUT LOGIC GATE 350 2 7 3 6 VO 5 GND 4 SHIELD * GND1 GND2 * HIGHER CMR MAY BE OBTAINABLE BY CONNECTING PINS 1, 4 TO INPUT GROUND (GND1).

For transients occurring when the LED is on, common-mode rejection (CMR L, since the output is in the "low" state) depends upon the amount of LED current drive (I F). For conditions where IF is close to the switching threshold (ITH), CMRL also depends on the extent which ILP and ILN balance each other. In other words, any condition where common-mode transients cause a momentary decrease in I F will cause common-mode failure for transients which are fast enough. Likewise for common-mode transients which occur when the LED is off (i.e. CMR H, since the output is "high"), if an imbalance between ILP and ILN results in a transient IF equal to or greater than the switching threshold of the optocoupler, the transient "signal" may cause the output to spike below 2 V (which constitutes a CMRH failure). By using the recommended circuit in Figure 13, good CMR can be achieved. The balanced ILED -setting resistors help equalize ILP and ILN to reduce the amount by which ILED is modulated from transient coupling through C LA and CLC 6 - 116 6104-117(PDF) Page 116 01.5.24, 4:24 PM Adobe PageMaker 6.0J/PPC CMR with Other Drive Circuits CMR performance with drive circuits other than that shown in Figure 13 may be enhanced by following these guidelines: 1. Use of drive circuits where current is shunted from the LED in the LED off" state (as shown in Figures 15 and 16). This is beneficial for good CMRH . 2. Use of I FH > 3.5 mA. This is good for high CMRL. VCC HCPL-260L 420 (MAX) 2N3906 (ANY PNP) 74L504 (ANY TTL/CMOS GATE) 1 2 LED 3 " Figure 15 shows a circuit which can be used with any totem-poleoutput TTL/LSTTL/HCMOS logic gate. The buffer PNP transistor allows the circuit to be used with logic devices which have low current-sinking capability. It also helps maintain the driving-gate power-supply current at a constant level to minimize ground shifting for other devices connected to the input-supply ground. When using an open-collector TTL or open-drain CMOS logic gate, the circuit in Figure 16 may be used. When using a CMOS gate to drive the optocoupler, the circuit shown in Figure 17 may be used. The diode in parallel with the RLED speeds the turn-off of the optocoupler LED. 4 Figure 15. TTL interface circuit.
