2.5 A Output Current, IGBT Drive Optocoupler with Active Miller Clamp, Desaturation Detection, and Isolated Fault Sensing
FOD8318
Description The FOD8318 is an advanced 2.5 A output current IGBT drive
optocoupler capable of driving most 1200 V / 150 A IGBTs. It is ideally suited for fast−switching driving of power IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor control inverter applications and high−performance power systems. It consists of an integrated gate drive optocoupler featuring low RDS(ON) CMOS transistors to drive the IGBT from rail to rail and an integrated high−speed isolated feedback for fault sensing. The FOD8318 has an active Miller clamp fuction to shut off the IGBT during a high dv/dt situation without the need of a negative supply voltage.
