DESCRIPTION (continued)
The magnitude of this current is directly proportional to the feedback transfer gain
(K1) times the LED drive current (V /R1=K1 • I ). The op-amp will supply LED cur-

DESCRIPTION
rent to force sufficient photocurrent to keep the node voltage (Vb) equal to Va
The IL300 Linear Optocoupler consists of
an AlGaAs IRLED irradiating an isolated
feedback and an output PIN photodiode
in a bifurcated arrangement. The feed-
back photodiode captures a percentage
of the LED's flux and generates a control
The output photodiode is connected to a non-inverting voltage follower amplifier. The
photodiode load resistor, R2, performs the current to voltage conversion. The output
amplifier voltage is the product of the output forward gain (K2) times the LED current
and photodiode load, R2 (V =I • K2 • R2).

Therefore, the overall transfer gain (V /V ) becomes the ratio of the product of the
O
IN
output forward gain (K2) times the photodiode load resistor (R2) to the product of the
feedback transfer gain (K1) times the input resistor (R1). This reduces to V /V =
signal (IP ) that can be used to servo the

LED drive current. This technique com-
pensates for the LED's non-linear, time,
and temperature characteristics. The out-
put PIN photodiode produces an output
(K2 • R2)/(K1 • R1). The overall transfer gain is completely independent of the LED
forward current. The IL300 transfer gain (K3) is expressed as the ratio of the ouput
gain (K2) to the feedback gain (K1). This shows that the circuit gain becomes the
product of the IL300 transfer gain times the ratio of the output to input resistors [V /
O
signal (IP ) that is linearly related to the

V =K3 (R2/R1)].

servo optical flux created by the LED.
The time and temperature stability of the
input-output coupler gain (K3) is insured
by using matched PIN photodiodes that
accurately track the output flux of the
LED.
