The LED signal to turn on Q2 should be delayed enough

imum data sheet value for the propagation delay diff er-
ence specifi cation, (t
and HCNW4504 specify a maxi mum (t
over an operating temperature range of 0-70°C.
Although (t
is needed to prevent shoot-through current, it is insuffi -
cient to tell the designer how much dead time a design
will have. Assuming that the optocoupler turn-on delay
is exactly equal to (t
is zero (i.e., there is zero time between the turnoff of the
very slowest optocoupler and the turn-on of the very
fastest optocoupler).
Calculating the maximum dead time is slightly more
compli cated. Assuming that the LED turn-on delay is still
exactly equal to (t
that the maximum dead time is the sum of the maximum
diff erence in turn-on delay plus the maxi mum diff erence
in turnoff delay,

This expression can be rearranged to obtain
[(t
and further rearranged to obtain
[(t
which is the maximum minus the minimum data sheet
values of (t
mum and minimum values depends directly on the total
spread in propagation delays and sets the limit on how
good the worst-case dead time can be for a given design.
Therefore, opto coup lers with tight propagation delay
specifi cations (and not just shorter delays or lower pulse-
width distortion) can achieve short dead times in power
inverters. The HCPL-4504/0454/J454 and HCNW4504
specify a minimum (t
ing temperature range of 0-70°C, resulting in a maximum
dead time of 2.0 μs when the LED turn-on delay is equal
to (t
It is important to maintain accurate LED turn-on delays
because delays shorter than (t
shoot-through currents, while longer delays will increase
the worst-case dead time.
