ACPL-P341-000E

The ACPL-P341-000E is a type of Isolator - Gate Drivers device, a type of device that is used to drive power field-effect transistors (FETs) or insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). While not as commonly used as it once was, it remains a dependable device choice for those still needing to use it.

Typically, gate-driver isolators are applied in a wide range of FET and IGBT gate-drive applications - such as DC/AC motor control, AC power supplies, and SMPS - due to the device’s low cost and ease of use.

The core operating principle behind gate-driver isolators is that they can be used to both isolate the on-off state of power switches from the logic levels of the driving circuits without taking up a significant amount of space. This is usually accomplished by utilizing an opto-electrical component, such as an LED and a photodiode.

The ACPL-P341-000E gate-driver isolator features an industry-standard form factor and temperature range of -40 °C to +105 °C. The device offers 4A of peak load current capability, 1A of peak inrush current capacity, and has a maximum rise time of 1.5μs, all while maintaining voltage and current ratings that are well above industry standards. Furthermore, the device can be operated from a supply voltage between 10 and 30V and comes with built-in ESD protection.

In addition to these features, the ACPL-P341-000E gate-driver isolator also has built-in isolation protection, with up to an 8kV EMI Immunity between input and output, as well as an integrated thermal shut-off feature to prevent device failure due to overheating.

Overall, the ACPL-P341-000E is a highly reliable and versatile gate-driver isolator, and is ideal for use in applications that require high-speed FET and IGBT switching. Thanks to its small size, low cost, and wide range of features, it is a great choice for designers in search of a reliable and durable gate-driver isolator.
