High-speed IGBT optocouplers are easy to
use

Optocouplers offer more protection, higher efficiency and the ability to operate in noisy environments.

Avago Technologies today announced the latest addition to its intelligent gate drive optocoupler product family Avago's new ACPL-332J and -331J series of high-speed IGBT optocouplers are easy-to-implement in industrial inverter and power management applications, such as isolated IGBT/power MOSFET gate drives, AC and brushless DC motor drives, industrial inverters and uninterruptible power supplies

When developing a reliable, yet cost-effective motor control system, designers require optocouplers that provide more protection, efficiency and ability to operate in noisy environments.

Avago's highly integrated ACPL-332J and -331J intelligent gate drivers improve precision and efficiency of motor inverters by featuring active Miller clamp, integrated collecter-emitter voltage desaturation detection, undervoltage lockout protection, built-in IGBT shutdown, and isolated open collector fault feedback.

Active Miller clamping eliminates the need for a negative gate drive, saving negative power supply and PCB space.

Additionally, Avago's new gate drive optocouplers enjoy an industry-best CMR which ensures reliable operation under noisy environments.

The ACPL-332J and -331J are CSA approved.

Approvals in the following widely accepted international safety standards are pending: UL1577 and IEC/EN/DIN EN60747-5-2.

The products are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
