FOD8316R2V Isolators

The FOD8316R2V is part of the Gate Driver family of isolators, designed to ensure the well-being of electrical systems in applications requiring high reliable signal and power isolation with simplified design. This device integrated two gate drive circuits in a single package, allowing reliable, high speed signal and power isolation for up to 24V applications.

Application Field

The FOD8316R2V Gate Driver provides high quality signal and power isolation in diverse applications, such as energy converters, motor control, industrial control, renewable energy systems, automotive, and medical instrumentation. Its isolation level and integrated design provide a compact solution for signal and power isolation, allowing for improved system performance and reliability.

Working Principle

The FOD8316R2V gate driver circuits consist of optically coupled drive and input stages. The drive stage is composed of two optically coupled MOSFETs, and a low voltage supply provides the gate drive for the output MOSFETs. The input stage, which can accept up to 24V of input voltage, reacts to the input signal by controlling the optically coupled drive stage. The output voltage is isolated from the input voltage regardless of the input voltage and polarity, and provides a high level of isolation and up to 8.5V gate drive to the output MOSFETs.

The FOD8316R2V isolation level is guaranteed up to an isolation voltage level of 5 kVrms for 1 min, ensuring reliable operation in applications requiring high voltage isolation, and meets regulatory requirements for safety concerns.

Conclusion

The FOD8316R2V Gate Driver family is an ideal solution for applications requiring reliable high voltage isolation up to 24V. Its high isolation level, integrated design, and low power consumption make it a versatile and reliable isolation device for a variety of applications.
