Conclusion
Avago Technologies’ HCPL-3020
and HCPL-0302 enables designers
to meet stringent requirements of
high Common Mode Rejection
(CMR), wide operating tempera-
ture range and fast switching in
low power inverter gate drive
applications, specially targeting at
low power industrial inverters
and inverter controlled consumer
appliances. Low I
CC
supply cur-
rent also allows the use of smaller
V
CC
capacitor, and use bootstrap
technique eliminating costly
isolated power supply. A few
speed improvement circuits for
HCPL-3020 and HCPL-0302 are
recommended. Though current
buffer can be used to increase
driving current, Avago
Technologies does offer higher
output current gate drive
optocouplers up to 2.0A, which
help to reduce external compo-
nents, PCB space and system cost.
