17 / 18 page  1. THE BASICS 1.1: Why should I use the HCPL-7800(A) for sensing cur- rent when Hall-effect sensors are available which don’t need an isolated supply voltage? Available in an auto-insertable, 8-pin DIP package, the HCPL-7800(A) is smaller than and has better linearity, offset vs. temperature and Common Mode Rejection (CMR) performance than most Hall-effect sensors. Ad- ditionally, often the required input-side power supply can be derived from the same supply that powers the gate-drive optocoupler. 2. SENSE RESISTOR AND INPUT FILTER 2.1: Where do I get 10 mΩ resistors? I have never seen one that low. Although less common than values above 10 Ω, there are quite a few manufacturers of resistors suitable for measuring currents up to 50 A when combined with the HCPL-7800(A). Example product information may be found at Dale’s web site (http://www.vishay.com/vishay/ dale) and Isotek’s web site (http://www.isotekcorp.com). 2.2: Should I connect both inputs across the sense resistor instead of grounding VIN- directly to pin 4? This is not necessary, but it will work. If you do, be sure to use an RC filter on both pin 2 (VIN+) and pin 3 (VIN-) to limit the input voltage at both pads. 2.3: Do I really need an RC filter on the input? What is it for? Are other values of R and C okay? The input anti-aliasing filter (R=39 Ω, C=0.01 µF) shown in the typical application circuit is recommended for filtering fast switching voltage transients from the input signal. (This helps to attenuate higher signal frequencies which could otherwise alias with the input sampling rate and cause higher input offset voltage.) Some issues to keep in mind using different filter resistors or capacitors are: 1. Filter resistor: Input bias current for pins 2 and 3: This is on the order of 500 nA. If you are using a single filter resistor in series with pin 2 but not pin 3 the IxR drop across this resistor will add to the offset error of the device. As long as this IR drop is small compared to the input offset voltage there should not be a problem. If larger-valued resistors are used in series, it is better to put half of the resistance in series with pin 2 and half the resistance in series with pin 3. In this case, the offset voltage is due mainly to resistor mismatch (typically less than 1% of the resistance design value) multiplied by the input bias. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HCPL-7800(A) 2. Filter resistor: The equivalent input resistance for HCPL-7800(A) is around 500 kΩ. It is therefore best to ensure that the filter resistance is not a significant percentage of this value; otherwise the offset voltage will be increased through the resistor divider effect. [As an example, if Rfilt = 5.5 kΩ, then VOS = (Vin * 1%) = 2 mV for a maximum 200 mV input and VOS will vary with respect to Vin.] 3. The input bandwidth is changed as a result of this different R-C filter configuration. In fact this is one of the main reasons for changing the input-filter R-C time constant. 4. Filter capacitance: The input capacitance of the HCPL-7800(A) is approximately 1.5 pF. For proper operation the switching input-side sampling capacitors must be charged from a relatively fixed (low impedance) voltage source. Therefore, if a filter capacitor is used it is best for this capacitor to be a few orders of magnitude greater than the CINPUT (A value of at least 100 pF works well.) 2.4: How do I ensure that the HCPL-7800(A) is not de- stroyed as a result of short circuit conditions which cause voltage drops across the sense resistor that exceed the rat- ings of the HCPL-7800(A)’s inputs? Select the sense resistor so that it will have less than 5 V drop when short circuits occur. The only other require- ment is to shut down the drive before the sense resistor is damaged or its solder joints melt. This ensures that the input of the HCPL-7800(A) can not be damaged by sense resistors going open-circuit. 3. ISOLATION AND INSULATION 3.1: How many volts will the HCPL-7800(A) withstand? The momentary (1 minute) withstand voltage is 3750 V rms per UL 1577 and CSA Component Acceptance Notice #5. 4. ACCURACY 4.1: Can the signal to noise ratio be improved? Yes. Some noise energy exists beyond the 100 kHz bandwidth of the HCPL-7800(A). Additional filtering using different filter R,C values in the post-amplifier application circuit can be used to improve the signal to noise ratio. For example, by using values of R3 = R4 = 10 kΩ, C5 = C6 = 470 pF in the application circuit the rms output noise will be cut roughly by a factor of 2. In applications needing only a few kHz bandwidth even better noise performance can be obtained. The noise spectral density is roughly 500 nV/š Hz below 20 kHz (input referred). |
