Automotive optocouplers designed for driving IGBTs and SiC power MOSFETs

Mouser now stocks Avago's ACPL-K33T Series automotive optocouplers. The devices offer 2.5A peak output current and are designed for driving IGBTs and SiC power MOSFETs used in AC-DC and DC-DC converters. ACPL-K33T optocoupler contains an AIGaAs LED optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. It features fast propagation delay and tight timing skew. The device also features proprietary R²Coupler isolation which provides the reinforced insulation needed for critical automotive and industrial applications such as powertrain DC-DC converter, EV/PHEV chargers and AC and brushless DC motor drives.
