Description
The HCPL-3100/3101 consists of an LED* optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. These optocouplers are suited for driving power MOSFETs and IGBTs used in motor control inverter applications. The high operating voltage range of the output stage provides the voltage drives required by gate controlled devices. The voltage and current supplied by these optocouplers allow for direct interfacing to the power device without the need for an intermediate amplifier stage.

Features
• High output current IO1 and IO2 (0.6 A Peak, 0.1 A continuous)
• 15 kV/µs minimum Common Mode Rejection (CMR) at VCM = 1500 V
• Wide operating VCC range (15 to 30 volts)
• High speed
   – 1 µs typical propagation delay (HCPL-3100)
   – 0.3 µs typical propagation delay (HCPL-3101)
• Recognized under UL 1577 for dielectric withstand proof test voltages of 5000 vac, 1 minute

Applications
• Isolated MOSFET/IGBT gate drive
• AC and DC motor drives
• General purpose industrial inverters
• Uninterruptable power supply
