VISHAY VOL3120-X001T

The VOL3120-X001T from Vishay is a low profile, 2.5A output current IGBT and MOSFET driver in LSOP-5 package. It consists of an infrared light emitting diode optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. This is ideally suited for driving power IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor control and solar 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 high power IGBTs with ratings up to 1000V / 100A. The low profile and small footprint of the VOL3120 makes it an ideal choice for applications where board space and component height are at a premium, while still offering a high degree of isolation performance. It is used in Domestic appliance motor drives, welding equipment, induction stove top, solar inverters, switch mode power supplies (SMPS) and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
