HCPL-7720 application field and working principle

Optoisolators - Logic Output

When used in the correct application, the HCPL-7720 optocoupler from Avago Technologies offer reliable isolation between circuits that may be operating at different levels, and their high speed switching makes them ideal for many different applications. They are also well suited for communications and signal isolation in aircraft or automotive uses where noise suppression is imperative.

Avago Technologies\' HCPL-7720 is an optocoupler with a maximum voltage of 500V, a maximum current of 1A and a maximum power dissipation of 500mW. It is a logic output isolated MOSFET optocoupler designed for voltage drop and current sharing applications. The high speed switching capabilities make it ideal for a wide range of applications ranging from voltage drop and current sharing to signal and noise isolation. The HCPL-7720 can switch signals up to 5kHz with high isolation voltage and low distortion.

One of the main application fields of the HCPL-7720 is medical equipment. The high isolation voltage is ideal for isolated medical diagnostic systems, where signals need to be sent between two sides of a system isolated from one another for safety reasons. Additionally, it provides a higher degree of reliability since the device is not sensitive to variance in temperature or other external conditions. The device can also be used in dictating and recording systems for medical purposes.

The device also is useful in the automotive field. Automotive system designers are increasingly turning to durable solutions that combine reliability and cost-effectiveness. High speed switching MOSFET optocouplers such as the HCPL-7720 provide a high degree of isolation, while also providing excellent data rate and compatibility with other systems. Furthermore, the compact package size of the HCPL-7720 makes it suitable for a wide range of automotive applications.

The device is also perfectly suited for transformers, including both medium and high frequency types. This is due to its high speed switching, which allows the device to respond quickly to changes in input levels. The device’s high isolation voltage also allows it to effectively isolate signal inputs and outputs in transformer applications. In addition, the HCPL-7720 is compatible with many different types of transformers, including those with varying input and output levels, allowing for greater flexibility in usage.

The working principle of the HCPL-7720 is relatively simple. It has an LED inside the package that is connected directly to the circuit’s input. When voltage is applied to the input, the LED illuminates and produces an output. The output is connected to an MOSFET, which is then connected to the circuit’s output. The resulting circuit enables electrical signals to be transmitted between the input and output, while maintaining isolation between the two circuits.

In summary, the HCPL-7720 optocoupler is an excellent choice for applications that require reliable isolation between different circuits, such as medical equipment, automotive systems, and transformers. Its high speed switching allows for fast response times, while its compact package size makes it suitable for many different uses. The device provides a high degree of isolation between the input and output and is well suited for use in applications where signal and noise isolation is critical.
