Description
The HCPL-260L/060L/263L/063L are optically coupled
gates that combine a GaAsP light emitting diode and
an integrated high gain photo detector. An enable in-
put allows the detector to be strobed. The output of
the detector IC is an open collector Schottky-clamped
transistor. The internal shield provides a guaranteed
common mode transient immunity specication of
15 kV/µs at 3.3V.
This unique design provides maximum AC and DC circuit
isolation while achieving LVTTL/LVCMOS compati-bil-
ity. The optocoupler AC and DC operational parameters
are guaranteed from –40°C to +85°C allowing trouble-
free system performance.
These optocouplers are suitable for high speed logic
interfacing, input/output buering, as line receivers in
environments that conventional line receivers cannot
tolerate and are recommended for use in extremely high
ground or induced noise environments.

*The JEDEC Registration species 0˚C to +70˚C. Avago species –40˚C to +85˚C.
**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 the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation Characteristics Table (if applicable), your equip-
ment level safety specication or Avago Application Note 1074 entitled "Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance Voltage."
Notes:
1. Each channel.
2. Peaking circuits may produce transient input currents up to 50 mA, 50 ns maximum pulse width, provided average current does not
exceed 20 mA.
3. Peaking circuits may produce transient input currents up to 50 mA, 50 ns maximum pulse width, provided average current does not
exceed 15 mA.
4. Derate linearly above +80˚C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.7 mW/˚C for the SOIC-8 package.
5. Bypassing of the power supply line is required, with a 0.1 µF ceramic disc capacitor adjacent to each optocoupler as illustrated in
Figure 11. Total lead length between both ends of the capacitor and the isolator pins should not exceed 20 mm.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. tPSK is equal to the worst case dierence in tPHL and/or tPLH that will be seen between units at any given temperature and specied test
conditions.
9. See test circuit for measurement details.
10. 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. CMH 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., Vo > 2.0 V).
13. 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., Vo < 0.8 V).
14. For sinusoidal voltages, (|dVCM | / dt)max = πfCMVCM (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. Device considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together, and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
17. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 4500 V rms for one second (leakage
detection current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA). This test is performed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (Method b) shown in the
IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation Characteristics Table, if applicable.
18. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 6000 V rms for one second (leakage
detection current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA). This test is performed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (Method b) shown in the
IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation Characteristics Table, if applicable.
19. Measured between the LED anode and cathode shorted together and pins 5 through 8 shorted together. For dual channel products only.
20. Measured between pins 1 and 2 shorted together, and pins 3 and 4 shorted together. For dual channel products only.

Application Information
Common-Mode Rejection for HCPL-260L Families:
Figure 13 shows the recommended drive circuit for op-
timal common-mode rejection performance. Two main
points to note are:
1. The enable pin is tied to VCC rather than oating (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 common-
mode transients.
If the enable pin is left oating, it is possible for common-
mode transients to couple to the enable pin, resulting in
common-mode failure. This failure mechanism only oc-
curs when the LED is on and the output is in the Low
State. It is identied as occurring when the transient out-
put voltage rises above 0.8 V. Therefore, the enable pin
should be connected to either VCC 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 cou-
ple 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 o). Figure 14 shows the parasitic capaci-
tances which exists between LED anode/cathode and
output ground (CLA and CLC). Also shown in Figure 14 on
the input side is an AC-equivalent circuit.
For transients occurring when the LED is on, common-
mode rejection (CMRL, since the output is in the “low”
state) depends upon the amount of LED current drive
(IF). 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 condi-
tion where common-mode transients cause a momen-
tary decrease in IF will cause common-mode failure for
transients which are fast enough.

Likewise for common-mode transients which occur
when the LED is o (i.e. CMRH, 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 CLA
and CLC.
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 “o” state (as shown in Figures 15 and
16). This is benecial for good CMRH.
2. Use of IFH > 3.5 mA. This is good for high CMRL.
Figure 15 shows a circuit which can be used with any
totem-pole-output TTL/LSTTL/HCMOS logic gate. The
buer 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 cur-
rent 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-o of the optocoupler
LED.
