Description
The HCPL-3150 consists of a GaAsP LED optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. This optocoupler is

ideally suited for driving power IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor control inverter applications. The high operating voltage range of the output stage provides the drive voltages required by gate controlled devices. The voltage and current supplied by this optocoupler makes it ideally suited for directly driving IGBTs with ratings up to 1200 V/50 A. For IGBTs with higher ratings, the HCPL-3120 can be used to drive a discrete power stage which drives the IGBT gate.

Notes: 1. Derate linearly above 70C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.3 mA/C. 2. Maximum pulse width = 10 s, maximum duty cycle = 0.2%. This value is intended to allow for component tolerances for designs with IO peak minimum = 0.5 A. See Applications section for additional details on limiting IOH peak. 3. Derate linearly above 70C free-air temperature at a rate of 4.8 mW/C. 4. Derate linearly above 70C free-air temperature at a rate of 5.4 mW/C. The maximum LED junction temperature should not exceed 125C. 5. Maximum pulse width = 50 s, maximum duty cycle = 0.5%. 6. In this test V is measured with a dc OH load current. When driving capacitive

loads VOH will approach VCC as IOH approaches zero amps. 7. Maximum pulse width = 1 ms, maximum duty cycle = 20%. 8. In accordance with UL1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage 3000 Vrms for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, II-O 5 A). This test is performed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (method b) shown in the VDE 0884 Insulation Characteristics Table, if applicable. 9. Device considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together. 10. The difference between tPHL and tPLH between any two HCPL-3150 parts

under the same test condition. 11. Pins 1 and 4 need to be connected to LED common. 12. Common mode transient immunity in the high state is the maximum tolerable |dVCM /dt| of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in the high state (i.e., VO > 15.0 V). 13. Common mode transient immunity in a low state is the maximum tolerable |dVCM/dt| of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a low state (i.e., VO < 1.0 V). 14. This load condition approximates the gate load of a 1200 V/25 A IGBT. 15. Pulse Width Distortion (PWD) is defined as |tPHL-tPLH| for any given device.

Applications Information
Eliminating Negative IGBT Gate Drive To keep the IGBT firmly off, the HCPL-3150 has a very low maximum VOL specification of 1.0 V. The HCPL-3150 realizes this very low VOL by using a DMOS transistor with 4 (typical) on resistance in its pull down circuit. When the HCPL-3150 is in the low state,
+5 V 1 270 2

the IGBT gate is shorted to the emitter by Rg + 4 . Minimizing Rg and the lead inductance from the HCPL-3150 to the IGBT gate and emitter (possibly by mounting the HCPL-3150 on a small PC board directly above the IGBT) can eliminate the need for negative IGBT gate drive in many applications as shown in Figure 25. Care should be taken with such a PC board design to avoid

routing the IGBT collector or emitter traces close to the HCPL3150 input as this can result in unwanted coupling of transient signals into the HCPL-3150 and degrade performance. (If the IGBT drain must be routed near the HCPL-3150 input, then the LED should be reverse-biased when in the off state, to prevent the transient signals coupled from the IGBT drain from turning on the HCPL-3150.)

Selecting the Gate Resistor (Rg) to Minimize IGBT Switching Losses. Step 1: Calculate Rg Minimum From the IOL Peak Specification. The IGBT and Rg in Figure 26 can be analyzed as a simple RC circuit with a voltage supplied by the HCPL-3150. (VCC VEE - VOL) Rg IOLPEAK (VCC VEE - 1.7 V) = IOLPEAK (15 V + 5 V - 1.7 V) = 0.6 A = 30.5

The VOL value of 2 V in the previous equation is a conservative value of VOL at the peak current of 0.6 A (see Figure 6). At lower Rg values the voltage supplied by the HCPL-3150 is not an ideal voltage step. This results in lower peak currents (more margin) than predicted by this analysis. When negative gate drive is not used VEE in the previous equation is equal to zero volts. Step 2: Check the HCPL-3150 Power Dissipation and Increase Rg if Necessary. The HCPL-3150 total power dissipation (PT) is equal to the sum of the emitter power (PE) and the output power (PO):

PT = P E + P O PE = IF VF Duty Cycle PO = PO(BIAS) + PO (SWITCHING) = ICC (VCC - VEE) + ESW(RG, QG) f For the circuit in Figure 26 with IF (worst case) = 16 mA, Rg = 30.5 , Max Duty Cycle = 80%, Qg = 500 nC, f = 20 kHz and TA max = 90C: PE = 16 mA 1.8 V 0.8 = 23 mW PO = 4.25 mA 20 V + 4.0 J 20 kHz = 85 mW + 80 mW = 165 mW > 154 mW (PO(MAX) @ 90C = 250 mW20C 4.8 mW/C)

The value of 4.25 mA for ICC in the previous equation was obtained by derating the ICC max of 5 mA (which occurs at -40C) to ICC max at 90C (see Figure 7). Since PO for this case is greater than PO(MAX), Rg must be increased to reduce the HCPL3150 power dissipation. PO(SWITCHING MAX) = PO(MAX) - PO(BIAS) = 154 mW - 85 mW = 69 mW PO(SWITCHINGMAX) ESW(MAX) = f 69 mW = = 3.45 J 20 kHz For Qg = 500 nC, from Figure 27, a value of ESW = 3.45 J gives a Rg = 41 .

Thermal Model
The steady state thermal model for the HCPL-3150 is shown in Figure 28. The thermal resistance values given in this model can be used to calculate the temperatures at each node for a given operating condition. As shown by the model, all heat generated flows through CA which raises the case temperature TC accordingly. The value of CA depends on the conditions of the board design and is, therefore, determined by the designer. The value of CA = 83C/W was obtained from thermal measurements using a 2.5 x 2.5 inch PC board, with small traces (no ground plane), a single HCPL3150 soldered into the center of the board and still air. The absolute maximum power dissipation derating specifications assume a CAvalue of 83C/W.

For example, the recommended application For example, given PE = 45 mW, circuit (Figure 25), can achieve PO = 250 mW, TA = 70C and CA 15 kV/s CMR while minimizing = 83C/W: component complexity. From the thermal mode in Figure 28 the LED and detector IC junction temperatures can be expressed as:

TJE = PE 313C/W + PD 132C/W + TA = 45 mW 313C/W + 250 mW 132C/W + 70C = 117C TJD = PE 132C/W + PD 187C/W + TA = 45 mW 132C/W + 250 mW 187C/W + 70C = 123C

Techniques to keep the LED in the proper state are discussed in the next two sections.

LED Drive Circuit Considerations for Ultra High CMR Performance

Without a detector shield, the dominant cause of optocoupler CMR failure is capacitive coupling from the input side of the optocoupler, through the package, to the detector IC as

CMR with the LED On (CMRH)

A high CMR LED drive circuit must keep the LED on during common mode transients. This is achieved by overdriving the LED current beyond the input threshold so that it is not pulled below the threshold during a transient. A minimum LED current of 10 mA provides adequate margin over the maximum IFLH of 5 mA to achieve 15 kV/s CMR.

The open collector drive circuit, shown in Figure 32, cannot keep the LED off during a +dVCM/dt transient, since all the current flowing through CLEDN must be supplied by the LED, and it is not recommended for applications requiring ultra high CMRL performance. Figure 33 is an alternative drive circuit which, like the recommended application circuit (Figure 25), does achieve ultra high CMR performance by shunting the LED in the off state.

optocoupler output will go into the low state with a typical delay, UVLO Turn Off Delay, of 0.6 s. When the HCPL-3150 output is in the low state and the supply voltage rises above the HCPL3150 VUVLO+ threshold (11.0 < VUVLO+ < 13.5), the optocoupler will go into the high state (assuming LED is ON) with a typical delay, UVLO TURN On Delay, of 0.8 s.

CMR with the LED Off (CMRL)

A high CMR LED drive circuit must keep the LED off (VF VF(OFF)) during common mode transients. For example, during a -dVCM/dt transient in Figure 31, the current flowing through CLEDP also flows through the RSAT and VSAT of the logic gate. As long as the low state voltage developed across the logic gate is less than VF(OFF), the LED will remain off and no common mode failure will occur.

Under Voltage Lockout Feature

The HCPL-3150 contains an under voltage lockout (UVLO) feature that is designed to protect the IGBT under fault conditions which cause the HCPL-3150 supply voltage (equivalent to the fully-charged IGBT gate voltage) to drop below a level necessary to keep the IGBT in a low resistance state. When the HCPL-3150 output is in the high state and the supply voltage drops below the HCPL-3150 VUVLO- threshold (9.5 <VUVLO- <12.0), the

IPM Dead Time and Propagation Delay Specifications

The HCPL-3150 includes a Propagation Delay Difference (PDD) specification intended to help designers minimize dead time in their power inverter designs. Dead time is the time period during which both the high and low side power transistors (Q1 and Q2 in Figure 25) are off. Any overlap in Q1 and Q2 conduction will result in large currents flowing through the power devices from the highto the low-voltage motor rails. To minimize dead time in a given design, the turn on of LED2 should be delayed (relative to the

turn off of LED1) so that under worst-case conditions, transistor Q1 has just turned off when transistor Q2 turns on, as shown in Figure 34. The amount of delay necessary to achieve this conditions is equal to the maximum value of the propagation delay difference specification, PDDMAX, which is specified to be 350 ns over the operating temperature range of -40C to 100C. Delaying the LED signal by the maximum propagation delay difference ensures that the minimum dead time is zero, but it does not tell a designer what the maximum dead time will be. The

maximum dead time is equivalent to the difference between the maximum and minimum propagation delay difference specifications as shown in Figure 35. The maximum dead time for the HCPL-3150 is 700 ns (= 350 ns (-350 ns)) over an operating temperature range of -40C to 100C. Note that the propagation delays used to calculate PDD and dead time are taken at equal temperatures and test conditions since the optocouplers under consideration are typically mounted in close proximity to each other and are switching identical IGBTs.
