Features
Description
• Guaranteed low thresholds: IF = 0.5 mA, VF ≤ 1.5 V
• High speed: guaranteed 5MBd over temperature
• Versatile: compatible with TTL, LSTTL and CMOS
• Efficient 820 nm AlGaAs LED
The HCPL-2300/HCPL-0300 optocoupler combines
an 820 nm AlGaAs photon emitting diode with an
integrated high gain photon detector. This combina-tion
of Avago designed and manufactured semiconductor
devices brings new high performance capabilities to
designers of isolated logic and data communication cir-
cuits.
• Internal shield for guaranteed common mode
rejection
The new low current, high speed AlGaAs emitter manu-
factured with a unique diffused junction, has the virtue
of fast rise and fall times at low drive currents. Figure 6 il-
lustrates the propagation delay vs. input current charac-
teristic. These unique characteristics enable this device
to be used in an RS-232-C interface with ground loop iso-
lation and improved common mode rejection. As a line
receiver, the HCPL-2300/HCPL-0300 will operate over
longer line lengths for a given data rate because of lower
IF and VF specifications.
• Schottky clamped, open collector output with
optional integrated pull-up resistor
• Static and dynamic performance guaranteed from
-40°C to 85°C
• Safety approval
– UL recognized -3750 V rms for 1 minute
– CSA approved
– IEC/EN/DIN EN60747-5-5 approved with
VIORM =630 V peak (Option 060)
