Description
The HCPL-3120 contains a
GaAsP LED while the HCPL-J312
and the HCNW3120 contain an
AlGaAs LED. The LED is optically
coupled to an integrated circuit
with a power output stage. These
optocouplers are ideally suited
for driving power IGBTs and
MOSFETs used in motor control
inverter applications. The high
operating voltage range of the
output stage provides the drive
voltages required by gate
controlled devices. The voltage
and current supplied by these
optocouplers make them ideally
suited for directly driving IGBTs
with ratings up to 1200 V/100 A.
For IGBTs with higher ratings,
the HCPL-3120 series can be
used to drive a discrete power
stage which drives the IGBT gate.
The HCNW3120 has the highest
insulation voltage of
V
IORM
= 1414 Vpeak in the
VDE0884. The HCPL-J312 has an
insulation voltage of
V
IORM
= 891 Vpeak and the
V
IORM
= 630 Vpeak is also
available with the HCPL-3120
(Option 060).
