FOD8332R2

The FOD8332 is an advanced 2.5 A output current IGBT drive optocoupler capable of driving medium power IGBTs with ratings up to 1,200 V and 150 A. It is suited for fast-switching driving of power IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor control inverter applications and high-performance power systems. The FOD8332 offers critical protection features necessary for preventing fault conditions that lead to destructive thermal runaway of IGBTs. The device utilizes Fairchild’s proprietary Opt planar coplanar packaging technology and optimized IC design to achieve reliable high isolation voltage and high noise immunity, characterized by high common-mode rejection and power supply rejection specifications. The device is housed in a wide-body 16-pin small-outline plastic package. The gate-driver channel consists of an aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) light-emitting diode (LED) optically coupled to an integrated high-speed driver circuit with a low-RDS(ON) MOSFET output stage. The fault-sense channel consists of an aluminium gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) LED optically coupled to an integrated high-speed feedback circuit for fault sensing.
