IGBT/MOSFET driver saves space in compact inverters
Expanding its optoelectronics portfolio, Vishay Intertechnology has announced a low-profile, SMD, 2.5A IGBT and MOSFET driver for motor drives, alternative energy, welding equipment and other high-working-voltage applications. The VOL3120 features a small footprint with a 2.5mm height and minimum 8mm clearance and external creepage distance.
The device provides high isolation voltage ratings of VIORM = 1,050V and VIOTM = 8,000V, suitable for applications operating at higher working voltages and/or with higher pollution degree environments.
The height of the VOL3120 is 30% lower than drivers in the standard DIP package, saving space and enabling flat-sized applications such as inductive stovetops and compact inverters used in domestic solar and motor drives. In addition to providing superior isolation, the VOL3120 also incorporates state-of-the-art electrical performance. The device's undervoltage lock-out feature protects the IGBT/MOSFET from malfunction, while its common mode transient immunity of more than 48kV/µs eliminates noise issues from low-voltage areas on the PCB.
The VOL3120's maximum current consumption of 2.5mA makes it a practical choice in power design applications where high-efficiency operation is required. The device boasts typical delays of less than 250ns and rise and typical fall times of 100ns, making it suitable for applications where fast switching of IGBTs or MOSFETs is required.
The driver operates over a wide power supply range of 15 to 32V and an industrial temperature range from -40 to +100°C. Featuring an unlimited floor life, the VOL3120 offers an MSL of 1 in accordance to J-STD-020. The device is RoHS-complaint, halogen-free and Vishay Green.
