Description
The FOD3182 is a 3 A Output Current, High Speed MOSFET Gate
Drive Optocoupler. It consists of a aluminium gallium arsenide
(AlGaAs) light emitting diode optically coupled to a CMOS detector
with PMOS and NMOS output power transistors integrated circuit
power stage. It is ideally suited for high frequency driving of power
MOSFETS used in Plasma Display Panels (PDPs), motor control
inverter applications and high performance DC/DC converters.
The device is packaged in an 8−pin dual in−line housing compatible
with 260°C reflow processes for lead free solder compliance.
