Optocoupler family suits high voltage applications

A family of 14.2mm optocoupler devices, designated the ACNT-Hxxx series, has been launched by Avago Technologies. Designed for high voltage applications, the ACNT-Hxxx family consists of three major product series: the ACNT-H3xx, high efficiency gate drive optocouplers for driving IGBTs; the ACNT-H6xL, low power 10MBd digital optocouplers for system control and data communications; and the ACNT-H79x, high linearity isolation amplifiers for current and voltage sensing applications.

“High-voltage power systems today require chip-level components to support wellinsulated and noise-immune large signals to minimize copper wiring costs while maintaining optimal power efficiency”, said Kheng-Jam Lee, marketing director of Avago’s Isolation Products Division. “Avago has stepped up to the challenge with the introduction of a new 14.2mm optocoupler family. With the industry’s highest insulation voltage in compact SSO-8 footprint, the ACNT-Hxxx is the most complete and cost-effective set of high-voltage optocoupler solutions on the market today addressing a wide range of high power industrial applications including inverters, motor drives and power supplies.”

Samples of the ACNT-H313, ACNT-H61L and ACNT-H790 are available now with expected general availability for the ACNT-H313 in June 2014, the ACNT-H61L in September 2014, and the ACNT-H790 in October 2014. Avago will be showcasing the new ACNT-H313, ACNT-H61L and ACNT-H790 in the Avago Booth 6-220 at the PCIM Europe 2014 exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany from May 20th to 22nd.
