HCPL-3180

Isolators - Gate Drivers Overview

The HCPL-3180 is a high-speed gate drive optocoupler featuring a single channel with logic IC output. It provides 3750Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C or 125°C depending on the specific variant. The device supports an output supply voltage of 10V to 20V and delivers a peak output current of 2A. Typical rise and fall times are 25ns, with a maximum propagation delay of 200ns. It utilizes a DIP-8 package for through-hole mounting.
