Description

The HCPL-7800(A) isolation amplifer family was designed for current sensing in electronic motor drives. In a typical implementation, motor currents ?ow through an external resistor and the resulting analog voltage drop is sensed by the HCPL-7800(A). A di?erential output voltage is created on the other side of the HCPL-7800(A) optical isolation barrier. This di?erential output voltage is pro portional 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).
