Optoisolators are components which isolate two circuits by using the principle of light rather than electricity. The HCPL3700W is a special type of optoisolator which uses a transistor-photovoltaic combination as the output, providing superior noise immunity and flexibility over traditional optoisolators. The following sections will look at the application field and working principle of the HCPL3700W.

Application fields

The HCPL3700W provides an excellent solution for ground loop and noise isolation in temperature, pressure and other industrial measurements and control systems. It can also be used in security systems, communication systems, and automotive applications. The HCPL3700W offers excellent crosstalk immunity due to the isolation provided by its photovoltaic circuit, meaning it is suitable for applications where electromechanical relays may otherwise provide inadequate isolation.

The HCPL3700W also features a hermetically sealed package which makes it better suited to harsher environmental conditions than other optoisolators, such as those encountered in aircraft systems. Its ultra-fast response and low propagation delay make it ideal for use in high-speed data transmission, making it a viable choice for industrial automation.

Working principle

The HCPL3700W is composed of an LED connected to its base terminal, and a transistor photovoltaic output connected to its output terminal. When a voltage is applied to the base terminal, the LED emits light which is detected by the photovoltaic output, triggering the transistor.

This combination of photovoltaic and transistor components allows the HCPL3700W to provide better isolation than other types of optoisolators, as the photovoltaic output reduces the chance of a short-circuit occurring across the isolator. The HCPL3700W also offers fast response times, making it a reliable choice for applications where speed is of the essence.

In addition, the HCPL3700W features excellent crosstalk immunity due to its layered structure. The power and signal are isolated, meaning that its photovoltaic output prevents any crosstalk between the two. This makes it particularly suitable for applications such as secure communications.

Conclusion

The HCPL3700W provides an exceptional level of isolation and flexibility compared with traditional optoisolators. Its photovoltaic output eliminates the potential for a short-circuit, and the sealed package also makes it suitable for use in difficult environmental conditions. Its fast response time and high crosstalk immunity make it suitable for secure communication systems and other industrial applications.
