HCPL-7840
Isolation Amplifier

Description

The HCPL-7840 isolation amplifier family was

designed for current sensing in electronic motor drives.
In a typical implementation, motor currents flow
through an external resistor and the resulting analog
voltage drop is sensed by the HCPL-7840. A
differential output voltage is created on the other side
of the HCPL-7840 optical isolation barrier. This
differential output voltage is proportional to the motor
current and can be converted to a single-ended signal
by using an op-amp. Since common-mode voltage
swings of several hundred volts in tens of
nanoseconds are common in modern switching Lifecycle status: Active
inverter motor drives, the HCPL-7840 was designed to
ignore very high common-mode transient slew rates
(of at least 10 kV/ms).

The high CMR capability of the HCPL-7840 isolation

amplifier provides the precision and stability needed to
accurately monitor motor current in high noise motor
control environments, providing for smoother control
(less "torque ripple") in various types of motor control
applications.

The product can also be used for general analog

signal isolation applications requiring high accuracy,
stability, and linearity under similarly severe noise
conditions. For general applications, we recommend
the HCPL-7840 (gain tolerance of /- 5%). The HCPL-
7840 utilizes sigma delta (S-D) analog-to-digital
converter technology, chopper stabilized amplifiers,
and a fully differential circuit topology fabricated using
Avago Technologies's 0.8 mm CMOS IC process.

Together, these features deliver unequaled isolation-

mode noise rejection, as well as excellent offset and
gain accuracy and stability over time and temperature.
This performance is delivered in a compact, auto-
insertable, industry standard 8-pin DIP package that
meets worldwide regulatory safety standards. (A gull-
wing surface mount option #300 is also available).
