Notes:
1. To achieve the absolute maximum power dissipation specified, pins 4, 9 and 10 require ground plane connections and may require airflow.
For details on how to estimate junction temperature and power dissipation, see the Thermal Model section in the application notes at the
end of this data sheet . The actual power dissipation achievable will depend on the application environment (PCB layout, air flow, part place-
ment, and so on). No power derating is required when operating below 125 °C using a high conductivity board. If a low conductivity board is
used, then output IC power dissipation is derated linearly at 20 mW/°C above 120 °C. Input IC power dissipation is derated linearly at 5 mW/°C
above 120°C.
2. Maximum pulse width = 10 μs, maximum duty cycle = 0.2%. This value is intended to allow for component tolerances for designs with I

peak minimum = 2.0 A. For additional details on I peak, see the Applications section . Derate linearly from 3.0 A at +25 °C to 2.5 A at +125

°C. This compensates for increased I
due to changes in V over temperature.

3. This supply is optional. Required only when negative gate drive is implemented.

17. This is the amount of time from when the DESAT threshold is exceeded, until the FAULT output goes low.
18. This is the amount of time the DESAT threshold must be exceeded before VOUT begins to go low, and the FAULT output to go low.
19. This is the amount of time from when RESET is asserted low, until FAULT output goes high. The minimum specification of 3 μs is the guaran-
teed minimum FAULT signal pulse width when the ACPL-516x is configured for Auto-Reset. For further details, see the Auto-Reset section in
the applications notes at the end of this data sheet.
20. Common mode transient immunity in the high state is the maximum tolerable dV /dt of the common mode pulse, V , to assure that the

output will remain in the high state (i.e., V > 15 V or FAULT > 2 V). A 100 pF and a 3 kΩ pull-up resistor is needed in fault detection mode.
