ACPL-5160-300

Overview

The ACPL-5160-300 is a single-channel gate driver optocoupler manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a peak output current of 2.5A and supports an output supply voltage range of 15V to 30V. The device provides 1500VDC isolation and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Typical rise and fall times are 100ns, with maximum propagation delays of 500ns for both high-to-low and low-to-high transitions. Pulse width distortion is limited to 300ns, and it offers a minimum common-mode transient immunity of 9kV/µs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-300' against official Broadcom documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high peak current driving is required alongside galvanic isolation. Consider the 1500VDC isolation rating and wide operating temperature range for industrial applications. Evaluate the propagation delay and pulse width distortion limits against system timing requirements to ensure accurate switching performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACPL series of logic output optocouplers designed for power electronics. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage control logic and high-power switching devices. The family emphasizes reliability and speed for demanding industrial and automotive environments requiring precise gate control.

Replacement Considerations

ACPL-5161 is a hermetically sealed variant within the same functional family. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution. Consult official replacement guides for any changes in packaging or qualification standards.
