Each channel contains a
GaAsP light emitting diode
which is optically coupled to
an integrated photon detector.
Separate connections for the
photodiodes and output
transistor collectors improve
the speed up to a hundred
times that of a conventional
phototransistor optocoupler by
reducing the base-collector
capacitance.
These devices are suitable for
wide bandwidth analog
applications, as well as for
interfacing TTL to LSTTL or
CMOS. Current Transfer Ratio
(CTR) is 9% minimum at IF =
16 mA. The 18 V VCC
capability will enable the
designer to interface any TTL
family to CMOS. The
availability of the base lead
allows optimized gain/
bandwidth adjustment in
analog applications. The
shallow depth of the IC
photodiode provides better
radiation immunity than
conventional phototransistor
couplers.
These products are also
available with the transistor
base node not connected to
improve common mode noise
immunity and ESD
susceptibility. In addition,
higher CTR minimums are
available by special request.
Package styles for these parts
are 8 and 16 pin DIP through
hole (case outlines P and E
respectively), 16 pin DIP flat
pack (case outline F), and
leadless ceramic chip carrier
(case outline 2). Devices may
be purchased with a variety of
lead bend and plating options,
see Selection Guide Table for
details. Standard Microcircuit
Drawing (SMD) parts are
available for each package and
lead style.
Because the same functional
die (emitters and detectors)
are used for each channel of
each device listed in this data
sheet, absolute maximum
ratings, recommended
operating conditions, electrical
specifications, and performance
characteristics shown in the
figures are identical for all
parts. Occasional exceptions
exist due to package variations
and limitations and are as
noted. Additionally, the same
package assembly processes
and materials are used in all
devices. These similarities give
justification for the use of data
obtained from one part to
represent other part’s
performance for die related
reliability and certain limited
radiation test results.

Notes:
1. Each channel of a multi-channel device.
2. Current Transfer Ratio is defined as the ratio
of output collector current, IO, to the
forward LED input current, IF, times 100%.
CTR is known to degrade slightly over the
unit’s lifetime as a function of input current,
temperature, signal duty cycle, and system
on time. Refer to Application Note 1002 for
more detail. ln short, it is recommended that
designers allow at least 20-25% guardband
for CTR degradation.
3. All devices are considered two-terminal
devices; measured between all input leads
or terminals shorted together and all output
leads or terminals shorted together.
4. The 4N55, 4N55/883B, HCPL-257K, HCPL-
6530, HCPL-6531, and HCPL-653K dual
channel parts function as two independent
single channel units. Use the single channel
parameter limits. IF = 0 mA for channel
under test and IF = 20 mA for other
channels.
5. Measured between adjacent input pairs
shorted together for each multichannel
device.
Typical Characteristics
All typical values are at TA = 25°C, VCC = 5 V, unless otherwise specified.
6. tPHL propagation delay is measured from the
50% point on the leading edge of the input
pulse to the 1.5 V point on the leading edge
of the output pulse. The tPLH propagation
delay is measured from the 50% point on the
trailing edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V
point on the trailing edge of the output
pulse.
7. CML is the maximum rate of rise of the
common mode voltage that can be
sustained with the output voltage in the
logic low state (VO < 0.8 V). CMH is the
maximum rate of fall of the common mode
voltage that can be sustained with the
output voltage in the logic high state (VO >
2.0 V).
8. Bandwidth is the frequency at which the ac
output voltage is 3 dB below the low
frequency asymptote. For the HCPL-5530
the typical bandwidth is 2 MHz.
9. This is a momentary withstand test, not an
operating condition.
10. Higher CTR minimums are available to
support special applications.
11. Measured between each input pair shorted
together and all output connections for that
channel shorted together.
12. Standard parts receive 100% testing at 25°C
(Subgroups 1 and 9). SMD and 883B parts
receive 100% testing at 25, 125, and -55°C
(Subgroups 1 and 9, 2 and 10, 3 and 11,
respectively).
13. Not required for 4N55, 4N55/883B, HCPL-
257K, 5962-8767901, and 5962-8767905
types.

*The equivalent output load resistance is affected by the LSTTL input current and is
approximately 8.2 k. This is a worst case design which takes into account 25%
degradation of CTR. See App. Note 1002 to assess actual degradation and lifetime.

MIL-PRF-38534 Class H, Class K, and
DSCC SMD Test Program
Agilent’s Hi-Rel Optocouplers
are in compliance with MIL-
PRF-38534 Classes H and K.
Class H and Class K devices
are also in compliance with
DSCC drawings 5962-87679,
and 5962-90854. Testing
consists of 100% screening and
quality conformance inspection
to MIL-PRF-38534.
Description
The schematic uses a
dualchannel, high-speed
optocoupler (HCPL-5530) to
function as a servo type dc
isolation amplifier. This circuit
operates on the principle that
two optocouplers will track
each other if their gain
changes by the same amount
over a specific operating
region.
Performance of Circuit
1% linearity for 10 V peak-
to-peak dynamic range
Gain drift: -0.03%/°C
Offset Drift: ± 1 mV/°C
25 kHz bandwidth (limited
by Op-Amps U1, U2)
