It is designed to be used in applications such as switching power supplies, motor drives, and pulse-width modulator (PWM) control systems. This device can also be used for general purpose switching, optocouplers and optoelectronic feedback systems in AC and DC circuits.

The device features an AEC-Q100 qualified design which makes it suitable for automotive applications. The device is characterized to shift currents up to 4A (with no heatsinks) and 6A (with sinks). The ACPL-H312-060E is able to drive a wide variety of devices such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, and bipolar transistors.

Working Principle

The ACPL-H312-060E is an isolated gate driver with optically coupled inputs and outputs. When a logic signal from the driver side is applied to the optically coupled inputs, a current is induced in the light-emitting diode (LED) on the device. The LED in turn triggers a photoelectric diode on the receiving side, which produces an output current. This current is amplified by the integrated circuit on the receiving side and then converted into a logic signal. This logic signal is then applied to the output circuit, which controls the flow of current to the motor.

In addition, the device also integrates a powerful and fast isolation between the driver side and the receiver side. This optimizes the safety of the isolated system and eliminates any interference from the driver side to the receiver side without impacting the performance. Furthermore, the device is also capable of supporting single and double pulse waveforms, making it ideal for applications requiring higher switching speed.

The ACPL-H312-060E isolator and gate driver is an ideal device for a variety of applications requiring higher switching speed, superior safety and cost efficiency. With a wide range of operating temperatures and an AEC-Q100 certification, the device is suitable for a range of automotive applications.
