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.
