FOD8342

FOD8342 is a 3.0A output current gate drive optocoupler, capable of driving medium-power IGBT/ MOSFETs. It is ideally suited for fast-switching driving of power IGBT and MOSFET used in motor-control inverter applications and high-performance power systems. It consists of an Aluminium Gallium Arsenide (AlGaAs) Light-Emitting Diode (LED) optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a high-speed driver for push-pull MOSFET output stage. The device is housed in a stretched body, 6-pin, small outline, plastic package. Typical applications are AC and brushless DC motor drives, industrial inverter, uninterruptible power supply, induction heating, isolated IGBT/power MOSFET gate drive. Safety and regulatory approvals are UL1577, 5,000 VRMS for 1 Minute, DIN EN/IEC60747-5-5, 1,140V peak working insulation voltage.
