Application Information
Product Overview Description
The ACPL-H342/K342 is an optically isolated power output
stage capable of driving IGBTs of up to 150 A and 1200
V. It has very high CMR rating which allows the micro-
controller and the IGBT to operate at very large common
mode noise found in industrial motor drives and other
power switching applications. And to achieve better
system reliability in such noisy environment, this power
control device incorporates new features like Active Miller
clamp, Rail-to-Rail output voltage, Anti-cross conduction
and LED input current hysteresis.
Active Miller clamp function eliminates the need of
negative gate drive in most application and allows the
use of simple bootstrap supply for high side driver. Rail-to-
Rail output voltage ensures that the IGBT’s gate voltage is
driven to the optimum intended level with no power loss
across IGBT. Anti-cross conduction prevents current shoot
through between the high and low side of half bridge
IGBT configuration. This will help to simplify the controller
design in terms of having to account for the delay needed
at the LED input. And lastly, the LED input current hyster-
esis prevents output oscillation if insufficient LED driving
current is applied. This will eliminates the need of addi-
tional Schmitt trigger circuit at the input LED.
This feature rich IGBT gate driver is designed to increase the
performance and reliability of a motor drive without the
cost, size, and complexity of external circuitry or control.

Recommended Application Circuit
The recommended application circuit shown in Figure 33
illustrates a typical gate drive implementation using the
ACPL-H342. The following describes about driving IGBT.
However, it is also applicable to MOSFET. Designers will
need to adjust the V
MOSFET or IGBT gate threshold requirements (Recom-
mended V
The supply bypass capacitors (1 μF) provide the large
transient currents necessary during a switching transition.
Because of the transient nature of the charging currents,
a low current (2.5mA) power supply will be enough to
power the device. The split resistors across the LED will
provide a high CMR response by providing a balanced re-
sistance network across the LED.
The gate resistor R
and controls the IGBT collector voltage rise and fall times.
In PC board design, care should be taken to avoid routing
the IGBT collector or emitter traces close to the ACPL-H342
input as this can result in unwanted coupling of transient
signals into ACPL-H342 and degrade performance.
