Description

The HCPL-3120 consists of a
GaAsP LED optically coupled to
an integrated circuit with a power
output stage. This optocoupler is
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
this optocoupler makes it ideally
suited for directly driving IGBTs
with ratings up to 1200 V/100 A.
For IGBTs with higher ratings,
the HCPL-3120 can be used to
drive a discrete power stage
which drives the IGBT gate.

A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor must be connected between pins 5 and 8.

CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of this component
to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
