Photocoupler

LTV-3120 series
2.5 Amp Output Current IGBT Gate Drive Optocoupler with Rail-to-Rail Output
Voltage, High CMR.
1. DESCRIPTION
The LTV-3120 series Photocoupler is ideally suited for driving power IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor control inverter applications and inverters in
power supply system. It contains an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. The 2.5A peak output current is
capable of directly driving most IGBTs with ratings up to 1200 V/100 A. For IGBTs with higher ratings, the LTV-3120 series can be used to drive a
discrete power stage which drives the IGBT gate.

The Photocoupler operational parameters are guaranteed over the temperature range from -40oC ~ +105oC.

Note: Ambient temperature = 25 C, unless otherwise specified. Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum
ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for long periods of
time can adversely affect reliability.
Note: Note: A ceramic capacitor (0.1 µF) should be connected between pin 8 and pin 5 to stabilize the operation
of a high gain linear amplifier. Otherwise, this Photocoupler may not switch properly. The bypass capacitor
should be placed within 1 cm of each pin.
