Description
The HCPL-7800(A) isolation
amplifier family was designed
for current sensing in electronic
motor drives. In a typical
implementation, motor currents
flow through an external
resistor and the resulting analog
voltage drop is sensed by the
HCPL-7800(A). A differential
output voltage is created on the
other side of the HCPL-7800(A)
optical isolation barrier. This
differential output voltage is
proportional to the motor current
and can be converted to a single-
ended signal by using an op-amp
as shown in the recommended
application circuit. Since
common-mode voltage swings of
several hundred volts in tens of
nanoseconds are common in
modern switching inverter motor
drives, the HCPL-7800(A)
was designed to ignore very high
common-mode transient slew
rates (of at least 10 kV/µs).
The high CMR capability of the
HCPL-7800(A) isolation amplifier
provides the precision and
stability needed to accurately
monitor motor current in high

noise motor control environ-
ments, providing for smoother
control (less “torque ripple”) in
various types of motor control
applications.
The product can also be used for
general analog signal isolation
applications requiring high
accuracy, stability, and linearity
under similarly severe noise con-
ditions. For general applications,
we recommend the HCPL-7800
(gain tolerance of
±
3%). For
precision applications Agilent
offers the HCPL-7800A with part-
to-part gain tolerance of
±
1%.
The HCPL-7800(A) utilizes sigma
delta (
∑
-
∆
) analog-to-digital
converter technology, chopper
stabilized amplifiers, and a fully
differential circuit topology.
Applications
• Motor Phase and Rail
Current Sensing
• Inverter Current Sensing
• Switched Mode Power
Supply Signal Isolation
• General Purpose Current
Sensing and Monitoring
• General Purpose Analog
Signal Isolation
CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of this component to
prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.

Together, these features deliver
unequaled isolation-mode noise
rejection, as well as excellent offset
and gain accuracy and stability
over time and temperature. This
performance is delivered in a
compact, auto-insertable, industry
standard 8-pin DIP package that
meets worldwide regulatory safety
standards. (A gull-wing surface
mount option #300 is also
available).
