Avago Technologies Brings to Market Industry's Smallest 2.5A Gate Drive Optocoupler.New Optocouplers Efficiently Integrate LED Isolating Technology With UVLO UVLO Undervoltage Lockout UVLO Under Voltage Lock Out Protection, Low Current Consumption SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced the industry's smallest 2.5A gate drive optocoupler. The company is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. The compact and highly integrated ACPL-H312 is available in a stretched SO-8 package which is 40% smaller than conventional dual-inline packages (DIP). With 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) and low current consumption, Avago's ACPL-H312 effectively addresses isolation needs where space and efficiency is a premium, such as in IGBT/power MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged gate drives, AC and brushless DC motor drives, industrial inverters, air conditioners, washing machines and switching power supplies. With a maximum high output peak current of 2.5A, the ACPL-H312 provides UVLO to prevent application malfunction, a low IC supply current consumption of 3.0mA, and a high working voltage equal to 891V. This small optocoupler also supplies a superior (common mode rejection) CMR CMR Crude mortality rate, see there rate up to 15 kV per microsecond One millionth of a second. See space/time and ohnosecond. (unit) microsecond - One millionth (10^-6) of a second. to ensure reliable operation under noisy environments. Avago's ACPL-H312 supports temperature ranges up to 100[deg]C and it is the industry's smallest 2A gate driver which meets 8 mm creepage and 7mm clearance. The product satisfies all major opto-isolation safety standards Safety standards are standards designed to ensure the safety of products, activities or processes, etc. They may be advisory or compulsory and are normally laid down by an advisory or regulatory body that may be either voluntary or statutory. , such as UL, 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. , and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2. U.S. Pricing and Availability The highly integrated and efficient ACPL-H312 will be available through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Pricing begins at $1.35 at 10000 pieces volume levels.
