When developing a reliable, yet cost-effective motor control system, designers require optocouplers that provide more protection, efficiency and the ability to operate in noisy environments. Avago's highly integrated ACPL-333J and ACPL-330J intelligent gate drivers help to improve precision and efficiency of motor inverters by featuring Active Miller Clamp, integrated Vce desaturation detection, under voltage lockout protection, soft shut down, isolated fault feedback and automatic fault reset. Active Miller clamping eliminates the need for a negative gate drive, saving negative power supply and printed circuit board space. Moreover, Avago's new gate drive optocouplers offer superior CMR performance and a wide operating temperature range.

The ACPL-333J is CSA, UL1577 and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 approved. The ACPL-330J is pending approval for CSA, UL1577 and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2.

Pricing and Availability

Based on 10,000 piece quantities, the ACPL-333J, which is available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners, is priced at $3.38 each. The ACPL-330J is priced at $2.81 each and will be available through Avago's sales and distribution partners beginning September 30.
