Evaluation board with booster circuit for evaluation of IGBT drive optocoupler

Available now from Mouser, Fairchild's FEBFOD8332 evaluation board with booster circuit is designed for the evaluation of the timing sequence and AC test performance of the FOD8332 IGBT drive optocoupler when driving an IGBT power module. Fairchild's FOD8332 smart gate driver is an advanced 2.5A output current IGBT drive optocoupler which offers the critical protection necessary for preventing fault conditions that lead to destructive thermal runaway of IGBTs. The FOD8332 consists of an integrated gate drive optocoupler featuring low RDS(ON) CMOS transistors to drive the IGBT from rail-to-rail and high-speed isolated feedback circuitry for fault sensing. It is ideal for driving fast-switching power IGBTs and MOSFETs, says the company.
