Functional Diagram
Description
The HCPL-315X consists of an 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 applica tions.
The high operating voltage range of the output stage
pro vides the drive voltages required by gate controlled
devices. The voltage and current supplied by this opto-
coupler makes it ideally suited for directly driving IGBTs
with ratings up to 1200 V/50 A. For IGBTs with higher rat-
ings, the HCPL-3150/315J can be used to drive a discrete
power stage which drives the IGBT gate.
Applications
• Isolated IGBT/MOSFET gate drive
• AC and brushless dc motor drives
• Industrial inverters
• Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
• Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS)
