2.0 Amp Output Current IGBT Gate Drive
Hermetically Sealed Optocoupler
Data Sheet
Description
Applications
Industrial and Military Environments
High Reliability Systems
The HCPL-5120 contains a GaAsP LED optically coupled
to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. The
device 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 opto-
coupler makes it ideally suited for directly driving IGBTs
with ratings up to 1200 V/100 A. For IGBTs with higher
ratings, the HCPL-5120 can be used to drive a discrete
power stage, which drives the IGBT gate.
