Description Features
The HCPL-4504 and HCPL-0454 contain a GaAsP LED • Short propagation delays for TTL and IPM applications
while the HCPL-J454 and HCNW4504 contain an AlGaAs • 15 kV/μs minimum Common Mode Transient immu-
LED. The LED is optically coupled to an integrated high nity at VCM = 1500 V for TTL/load drive

The HCPL-4504 series has short propagation delays and >25% for HCPL-4504/0454
high CTR. The HCPL-4504 series also has a guaranteed >23% for HCNW4504
propagation delay difference (tPLH-tPHL). These features >19% for HCPL-J454

†The Input-Output Momentary Withstand Voltage is a dielectric voltage rating that should not be interpreted as an input-output continuous

equipment level safety specification or Avago Application Note 1074 entitled “Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance Voltage.”

the leading edge of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a Logic High state (i.e., VO > 2.0 V). Common mode

The HCPL-4504/0454/J454 and HCNW4504 include a The amount of turn-on delay needed depends on the
specification intended to help designers minimize “dead propagation delay characteristics of the optocoupler, as
