Description
These high gain series couplers use a Light Emitting
Diode and an integrated high gain photodetector to
provide extremely high current transfer ratio between
input and output. Separate pins for the photodiode and
output stage result in LVTTL compatible saturation
voltages and high speed operation. Where desired, the
VCC and VO terminals may be tied together to achieve
conventional photo-darlington operation. A base access
terminal allows a gain bandwidth adjustment to be
made.
These optocouplers are for use in LVTTL/LVCMOS or
other low power applications. A 400% minimum current
transfer ratio is guaranteed over 0 to +70˚C operating
range for only 0.5 mA of LED current.
The HCPL-070L and HCPL-073L are surface mount
devices packaged in an industry standard SOIC-8
footprint.
The SOIC-8 does not require "through holes" in a PCB.
This package occupies approximately one-third the
footprint area of the standard dual-in-line package. The
lead profile is designed to be compatible with standard
surface mount processes.

**The Input-Output Momentary Withstand Voltage is a dielectric voltage rating that should not be interpreted as an input-output continuous

ment level safety specification or Avago Application Note 1074 entitled "Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance Voltage."
Notes:
1. Pin 5 should be the most negative voltage at the detector side.
2. Each channel.
3. DC CURRENT TRANSFER RATIO (CTR) is defined as the ratio of output collector current, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF, times 100%.
4. Device considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together, and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
5. Measured between pins 1 and 2 shorted together, and pins 3 and 4 shorted together.
6. Common mode transient immunity in a Logic High level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to
assure that the output will remain in a Logic High state (i.e., VO > 2.0 V). Common mode transient immunity in a Logic Low level is the
maximum tolerable (negative) dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a Logic Low state
(i.e., VO < 0.8 V).
7. In applications where dV/dt may exceed 50,000 V/µs (such as static discharge) a series resistor, RCC, should be included to protect the detec-
tor IC from destructively high surge currents. The recommended value is RCC = 110 Ω.
8. Use of a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor connected between pins 5 and 8 adjacent to the device is recommended.
9. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage > 4500 V rms for 1 second (leakage detec-
tion current limit, II-O < 5 µA).
10. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage > 6000 V rms for 1 second (leakage detec-
tion current limit, II-O < 5 µA).
11. Measured between the LED anode and cathode shorted together and pins 5 through 8 shorted together.
12. Derate linearly above 65˚C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.3 mW/˚C for the SO-8 package.
