The HCPL-3150-000E is a 0.5A output current IGBT Gate Drive Optocoupler consists of a LED optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. This optocoupler 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 optocoupler makes it ideally suited for directly driving IGBTs with ratings up to 1200V/50 A. For IGBTs with higher ratings, it can be used to drive a discrete power stage which drives the IGBT gate.
