The HCPL-7800(A) 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-7800(A). A differential output voltage is
created on the other side of the HCPL-7800(A) optical
isolation barrier. This differential output voltage is pro-
portional to the motor current and can be converted to
a single-ended signal by using an op-amp as shown in
the recommended application circuit. Since common-
mode voltage swings of several hundred volts in tens of
nanoseconds are common in modern switching inverter
motor drives, the HCPL-7800(A) was designed to ignore
very high common-mode transient slew rates (of at least
10 kV/µs).
• Fully Differential Circuit Topology
The high CMR capability of the HCPL-7800(A) isolation
amplifier provides the precision and stability needed to
accurately monitor motor current in high noise motor
control environ-ments, providing for smoother control
(less “torque ripple”) in various types of motor control
applications.
Applications
• Motor Phase and Rail Current Sensing
• Inverter Current Sensing
• Switched Mode Power Supply Signal Isolation
• General Purpose Current Sensing and Monitoring
• General Purpose Analog Signal Isolation
The product can also be used for general analog signal
isolation applications requiring high accuracy, stability,
and linearity under similarly severe noise con-ditions.
For general applications, we recommend the HCPL-7800
(gain tolerance of 3%). For precision applications Avago
Technologies offers the HCPL-7800A with part-to-part
gain tolerance of 1%. The HCPL-7800(A) utilizes sigma
delta (Σ−∆) analog-to-digital converter technology,
chopper stabilized amplifiers, and a fully differential
circuit topology.

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-insert-
able, industry standard 8-pin DIP package that meets
worldwide regulatory safety standards. (A gull-wing
surface mount option #300 is also available).

NOTE: A 0.1 μF bypass capacitor must be connected
between pins 1 and 4 and between pins 5 and 8.
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.
