Highly robust gate drivers ensure system safety
Power Integrations hasannounced the launch of its automotive-qualifiedSID1181KQSCALE-iDriver gate driver for 750V-rated IGBTs. The new part expands the company’s range of auto-qualified driver ICs, following the introduction of the 1,200V SID1182KQ driver IC.Compact, efficient and highly robust, the new driver IC uses Power Integrations’ high speed FluxLink communications technology to ensure system safety even during fault conditions...
Opto-compatible single channel isolated gate driver for IGBTs
The UCC23513 from Texas Instruments is an opto-compatible, single-channel, isolated gate driver for IGBTs, MOSFETs and SiC MOSFETs, with 4.5A source and 5.3A sink peak output current and 5.7KVRMS reinforced isolation rating. The high supply voltage range of 33V allows the use of bipolar supplies to effectively drive IGBTs and SiC power FETs.
Optocouplers cut design costs and save board space
Broadening its optoelectronics portfolio Vishay Intertechnology has released two series of optocouplers with phototriac output in space-saving compact DIP-4 and SMD-4 packages. Featuring a high off state voltage of 800V and dV/dt of 1000V/μs, Vishay Semiconductors' VOT8024A and VOT8121A series deliver high robustness and noise isolation for home appliances and industrial equipment.
High insulation optocouplers minimise creepage
Claimed to be the industry’s highest insulation voltage optocouplers, the 5A gate drive ACNT-H343 optocoupler is from Broadcom.
Space-saving optocouplers offer 800V off-state voltage
Two series of optocouplers with phototriac output in compact DIP-6 and SMD-6 packages featuring high isolation distance on output have broadened the range of optocouplers at Vishay Intertechnology. Offering high off-state voltage of 800 V and dV/dt of 1000 V/μs, Vishay Semiconductors' VOT8025A and VOT8125A series deliver high robustness and noise isolation for home appliances and industrial equipment.
Basic isolated transceiver in ultra-small package
The ISO1500 device from Texas Instruments is a galvanically-isolated differential line transceiver for TIA/EIA RS-485 and RS-422 applications. This device has a three-channel digital isolator and an RS-485 transceiver in an ultra-small 16-pin SSOP package. The bus pins of this transceiver are protected against IEC ESD contact discharge and IEC EFT events.
High insulation voltage optocouplers with 15mm creepage
A new five amp gate drive optocoupler, the ACNT-H343, has been introduced by Broadcom. This new member of the ACNT optocoupler family features more than 100kV/us of high noise immunity and three times faster propagation delay than the previous generation.
SiC switches in motor drive applications
Patrick Baginski, Vincotech, takes a closer look at the benefits, impacts and limitations of SiC switches to the induction motor
Isolated gate driver is a pin-to-pin upgrade to optocouplers
In this video, you will learn about TI's new isolated gate driver that is a pin-to-pin upgrade to optocouplers providing longer system lifetime and a high CMTI rating.
Paving the way for power management
As our world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, the demand for power will only continue to increase. Following a vibrant APEC 2019, held in California in March, Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush caught up with Anoop Chadaga, Product Marketing Manager, Texas Instruments, to find out what the company’s focus was at the show.
