Description
The HCPL-3000 consists of a
Silicon-doped GaAs LED optically
coupled to an integrated circuit
with a power output stage. This
optocoupler is suited for driving
power bipolar transistors and
power Darlington devices used in
motor control inverter applica-
tions. The high peak and steady
state current capabilities of the
output stage allow for direct
interfacing to the power device
without the need for an interme-
diate amplifier stage. With a CMR
rating of 1.5 kV/
s this optocoup-
ler readily rejects transients found
in inverter applications.
The LED controls the state of the
output stage. Transistor Q2 in the
output stage is on with the LED
off, allowing the base of the
power device to be held low.
Turning on the LED turns off
transistor Q2 and switches on
transistor Q1 in the output stage
which provides current to drive
the base of a power bipolar
device.

CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of this component to
prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
THE USE OF A 0.1
F BYPASS CAPACITOR CONNECTED BETWEEN PINS 8 AND 7 IS RECOMMENDED. ALSO, CURRENT LIMITING
RESISTORS ARE RECOMMENDED (SEE FIGURE 1, NOTE 2, AND NOTE 7).

*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 VDE 0884 Insulation Characteristics Table (if applicable), your
equipment level safety specification, or HP Application Note 1074, "Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance Voltage."
Notes:
1. Derate absolute maximum ratings with ambient temperatures as shown in Figures 9, 10, and 11.
2. A bypass capacitor of 0.01
F or more is needed near the device between V
CC
and GND when measuring output and transfer
characteristics.
3. I
FLH
represents the forward current when the output goes from low to high.
4. Device considered a two terminal device; pins 1-4 are shorted together and pin 5-8 are shorted together.
5. For devices with minimum V
ISO
specified at 5000 V rms, in accordance with UL1577, each optocoupler is proof-tested by applying an
insulation test voltage
6000 V rms for one second (leakage current detection limit, I

A).
6. The t

propagation delays are measured from the 50% level of the input pulse to the 50% level of the output pulse.
7. R

sets the base current (I

in Figure 1) supplied to the power bipolar device. R
2
limits the peak current seen by Q2 when the device
is turning off. For more applications and circuit design information see Application Note "Power Transistor Gate/Base Drive
