Description
The HCPL-4506 and HCPL-0466 contain a GaAsP LED while
the HCPL-J456 and the HCNW4506 contain an AlGaAs LED.
The LED is optically coupled to an integrated high gain
photo detector. Minimized propagation delay difference
between devices makes these optocouplers excellent so-
lutions for improving inverter efficiency through reduced
switching dead time.
An on chip 20 kΩ output pull-up resistor can be enabled by
shorting output pins 6 and 7, thus eliminating the need for
an external pull-up resistor in common IPM applications.
Specifications and performance plots are given for typical
IPM applications.
