Servo GainK1
The typical servo photocurrent, IP1, as a function of
LED current, is shown in Figure 2. This graph shows
the typical non-servo LED-photodiode linearity is
1 % over an LED drive current range of 1 to 30 mA.
This curve also shows that the non-servo photocurrent is affected by ambient temperature. The photocurrent typically decreases by 0.5 % per C. The
LEDs nonlinearity and temperature characteristics
are minimized when the IL300 is used as a servo linear amplifier.

constructed with standard phototransistor optocouplers suffer from gain drift due to changing CTR.
Isolation amplifiers using the IL300 are not plagued
with the drift problems associated with standard phototransistors. The following analysis will show how the
servo operation of the IL300 eliminates the influence
of LED efficiency on the amplifier gain.
The input-output gain of the IL300 is termed transfer
gain, K3. Transfer gain is defined as the output (forward) gain, K2, divided by servo gain, K1, as shown
in Equation 10.

K3 = 1.0. Package assembly variations result in a
range of K3. Because of the importance of K3, Vishay
offers the transfer gain sorted into 5 % bins. The bin
designator is listed on the IL300 package. The K3 bin
limits are shown in Table 1. This table is useful when
selecting the specific resistor values needed to set
the isolation amplifier transfer gain.

The composite amplifier transfer gain (Vo/Vin) is the
ratio of two products. The first is the output transfer
gain, K2 R2.
The second is the servo transfer gain, K1 R1. The
amplifier gain is the first divided by the second. See
Equation 23.

Equation 23 shows that the composite amplifier transfer gain is independent of the LED forward current.
The K2/K1 ratio reduces to IL300 transfer gain, K3.
This relationship is included in Equation 24. This
equation shows that the composite amplifier gain is
equal to the product of the IL300 gain, K3, times the
ratio of the output to input resistors.

The second step is to determine servo photocurrent,
IP1, resulting from the peak input signal swing. This
current is the product of the LED drive current, IF ,
times the servo transfer gain, K1. For this example the
Ioutmax is equal to the largest LED current signal
swing, i.e., IF = Ioutmax.
IP1 = K1 Ioutmax
IP1 = 0.007 15 mA
IP1 = 105 A
The input resistor, R1, is set by the input voltage
range and the peak servo photocurrent, IP1.
Thus R1 is equal to:
R1 = Vin / IP1
R1 = 1.0 / 105 A
R1 = 9.524 K
R1 is rounded to 10 k.

This amplifier is conditionally stable for given values
of R1. As R1 is increased beyond 10 k, it may
become necessary to frequency compensate U1.
This is done by placing a small capacitor from U1s
output to its inverting input. This circuit uses 741 opamps and will easily provide 100 kHz or greater bandwidth.

From Equation 31, Vref2 is shown to be twice Vref1.
Vref2 is easily generated by using two 1N914 diodes
in series.
This amplifier is simple and relatively stable. When
better output voltage temperature stability is desired,
consider the isolation amplifier configuration shown in
Figure 25. This amplifier is very similar in circuit configuration except that the bias is provided by a high
quality LM313 band gap reference source.
This circuit forms a unity gain non-inverting photoconductive isolation amplifier. Along with the LM113 references and low offset OP-07 amplifiers the circuit
replaces the 741 opamps. A 2N2222 buffer transistor
is used to increase the OP-07s LED drive capability.
The gain stability is set by K3, and the output offset is
set by the stability of OP-07s and the reference
sources.
Figure 26 shows a novel circuit that minimizes much
of the offset drift introduced by using two separate reference sources. This is accomplished by using an
optically coupled tracking reference technique. The
amplifier consists of two optically coupled signal
paths. One IL300 couples the input to the output. The
second IL300 couples a reference voltage generated
on the output side to the input servo amplifier. This
isolation amplifier uses dual opamps to minimize
parts count. Figure 26 shows the output reference
being supplied by a voltage divider connected to VCC.
The offset drift can be reduced by using a band gap
reference source to replace the voltage divider.

Opamps U1 and U5 form a differential input network.
U4 creates a 100 A, IS, current sink which is shared
by each of the servo amplifiers. This bias current is
divided evenly between these two servo amplifiers
when the input voltage is equal to zero. This division
of current creates a differential signal at the output
photodiodes of U2 and U6. The transfer gain, Vout/
Vin, for this amplifier is given in Equation 34.

Conclusion
The analog design engineer now has a new circuit
element that will make the design of isolation amplifiers easier. The preceding circuits and analysis illustrate the variety of isolation amplifiers that can be
designed. As a guide, when highest stability of gain
and offset is needed, consider the photovoltaic amplifier. Widest bandwidth is achieved with the photoconductive amplifier. Lastly, the overall performance of
the isolation amplifier is greatly influenced by the
operational amplifier selected. Noise and drift are
directly dependent on the servo amplifier. The IL300
also can be used in the digital environment. The pulse
response of the IL300 is constant over time and temperature. In digital designs where LED degradation
and pulse distortion can cause system failure, the
IL300 will eliminate this failure mode.

Photodetector Operation Tutorial
Photodiode Operation and Characteristics
The photodiodes in the IL300 are PIN (P-material Intrinsic material - N-material) diodes. These photodiodes convert the LEDs incident optical flux into a
photocurrent. The magnitude of the photocurrent is
linearly proportional to the incident flux. The photocurrent is the product of the diodes responsivityresponsivity, S l, (A/ W), the incident flux, Ee (W/mm2), and
the detector area AD, (mm2). This relationship is
shown below:

Bandwidth Considerations
PIN photodiodes can respond very quickly to changes
in incident flux. The IL300 detectors respond in tens
of nanoseconds. The slew rate of the output current is
related to the diodes junction capacitance, Cj, and the
load resistor, R. The product of these two elements
set the photo-response time constant.
