Avago Technologies Announces Automotive Grade 2.5A Gate Drive Optocoupler.Specifically Designed for Hybrid Electrics Vehicles, Inverter (1) A logic gate that converts the input to the opposite state for output. If the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa. An inverter performs the Boolean logic NOT operation. (2) A circuit that converts DC current into AC current. Contrast with rectifier. Drives and Power Management Systems NUREMBERG, Germany -- Avago Technologies today announced a new gate drive optocoupler targeting automotive hybrid electric vehicle A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a vehicle which combines a conventional propulsion system with an on-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) to achieve better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle without being hampered by range from a charging unit like an applications. The company is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. Designed to meet stringent automotive AEC-Q100 guidelines, Avago's new ACPL-312T provides 2.5A maximum peak output current to drive high powered IGBTs/MOSFETs and operates up to a high temperature rating of 125[deg]C. Additionally, a propagation delay of 0.5 ms allows the circuit designer to reduce switching dead time and improve inverter efficiency. Avago manufactures automotive optocouplers that support TS16949 requirements and are qualified for automotives electronics council (AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1. AEC - a former executive agency (from 1946 to 1974) that was responsible for research into atomic energy and its peacetime uses in the United States Atomic Energy Commission ) guidelines under extreme environmental test conditions. The test is performed under AEC-Q100 stress test guidelines that are suitable for operating in automotive applications. In addition to automotive requirements, the ACPL-312T optocouplers meet worldwide safety standards (UL1577, EN/IEC 60747-5-2 and CSA (1) (Canadian Standards Association, Toronto, Ontario, www.csa.ca) A standards-defining organization founded in 1919. It is involved in many industries, including electronics, communications and information technology. ). Avago's ACPL-312T optocoupler leverages an automotive-grade LED that was developed and produced in-house. The gate drive optocouplers has an enhanced construction with superior thermal conductivity, making it suitable for isolation needs in automotive, industrial inverters and power management applications over operating temperature from -40oC to 125oC. It offers high CMR CMR Crude mortality rate, see there (min 25 kV/ms @ VCM VCM Vinyl Chloride Monomer VCM Variable Cylinder Management (Honda) VCM Virtual Channel Memory VCM Value Chain Management VCM Voice-Coil Motor VCM Vehicle Control Module VCM Vignette Content Management = 1500V) which makes it excellent for noise elimination and provides under voltage lockout lockout, intentional closing up of a company, factory, or shop by an employer to prevent employees from working during a strike or labor dispute. The term lockout (UVLO UVLO Undervoltage Lockout UVLO Under Voltage Lock Out ) for additional product protection. More information on the ACPL-312T will be showcased at the PCIM PCIM Policy Core Information Model (IPSec) PCIM Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion (International Conference on Power Control) conference in booth number 126 taking place the week of May 27-29 at the Hall 12 located in Nuremberg, Germany. Pricing and Availability Pricing begins at $1.88 each in 10,000 piece quantities and is available through Avago's direct sales channel or worldwide distribution partners.
