CAUTION:
It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of
this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
Description
The HCPL-788J isolation ampli-fier is designed for cur-
rent sensing in electronic motor drives. In a typical
implementa-tion, motor currents flow through an ex-
ternal resistor and the resulting analog voltage drop is
sensed by the HCPL-788J. A larger analog output volt-
age is created on the other side of the HCPL-788J’s opti-
cal isolation barrier. The output voltage is proportional
to the motor current and can be connected directly to a
single-supply A/D converter. A digital over-range output
(FAULT) and an analog rectified output (ABSVAL) are also
provided. The wire OR-able over-range output (FAULT)
is useful for quick detection of short circuit conditions
on any of the motor phases. The wire-OR-able rectified
output (ABSVAL), simplifies measure-ment of motor load
since it performs polyphase rectification. Since the com-
mon-mode voltage swings several hundred volts in tens
of nanoseconds in modern electronic motor drives, the
HCPL-788J was designed to ignore very high common-
mode transient slew rates (10 kV/μs).

FAULT
Description
Short circuit fault output. FAULT changes from a
high to low output voltage within 6 μs after V
IN
exceeds the FAULT Detection Threshold. FAULT is an
open drain output which allows outputs from all
the HCPL-788Js in a circuit to be connected
together (“wired-OR”) forming a single fault signal
for interfacing directly to the micro-controller.
Absolute value of V
OUT
output. ABSVAL is 0 V
when V
IN
=0 and increases toward V
REF
as V
IN
approaches +256 mV or -256 mV. ABSVAL is
“wired-OR” able and is used for detecting
overloads.
Voltage output. Swings from 0 to V

The nominal gain is V
