Connection Diagram
Description
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL-0810 are low-cost high current
line drivers. With a 5 V single supply, they deliver up to 1
A
PP
current. This is ideal for high current applications such
as a Powerline modem.
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL-0810 are internally protected
against over-temperature conditions through thermal
shutdown. Under-voltage or over-load condition is sensed
by internal detection circuit and indicated by Status pin
output. In addition, with the transmit enable (Tx-en) input,
the line driver output stage can be disabled to reduce
power dissipation when not operating.
The HCPL-8100 and HCPL-0810 are specified for
operation over extended temperature range from
-40°C to +85°C. The HCPL-8100 is available in DIP-8
package, and the HCPL-0810 is available in SO-8 package.
