Product Summary

The HCPL788J is an isolation amplifier designed for current sensing in electronic motor drives. In a typical implementation, motor currents flow through an external resistor and the resulting analog voltage drop is sensed by the HCPL788J. A larger analog output voltage is created on the other side of the HCPL788J’s optical isolation barrier. The output voltage is proportional to the motor current and can be connected directly to a singlesupply A/D converter. A digital over-range output (FAULT) and an analog rectified output (ABSVAL) are also provided.
