Description

The HCPL-7840 isolation ampli-

fier provides accurate, electrically

isolated and amplified representa-

tions of voltage and current.

When used with a shunt resistor

in the current path, the HCPL-

7840 offers superior reliability,

cost effectiveness, size and

autoinsertability compared with

the traditional solutions such as

current transformers and Hall-

effect sensors.

The HCPL-7840 consists of a

sigma-delta analog-to-digital

converter optically coupled to a

digital-to-analog converter.

Superior performance in design

critical specifications such as

common-mode rejection, offset

voltage, nonlinearity, operating

temperature range and regulatory

compliance make the HCPL-7840

the clear choice for designing

reliable, lower-cost, reduced-size

products such as motor

controllers and inverters.

Common-mode rejection of

15 kV/

µs makes the HCPL-7840

suitable for noisy electrical

environments such as those

generated by the high switching

rates of power IGBTs.

Low offset voltage together with

a low offset voltage temperature

coefficient permits accurate use

of auto-calibration techniques.

Gain tolerance of 5% with 0.1%

nonlinearity further provide the

performance necessary for

accurate feedback and control.

A wide operating temperature

range with specified performance

allows the HCPL-7840 to be used

in hostile industrial environments.
