The ACPL-K34T-000E from Broadcom is an Automotive-Qualified Gate Drive Optocoupler that is ideal for hybrid power train DC-DC converters, EV/PHEV chargers, automotive isolated MOSFET gate drive, AC and brushless DC motor drive applications. It requires an input voltage of 10 - 20 V and provides an output current (peak) of over 2.5 A. This optocoupler contains an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. It features fast propagation delay and tight timing skew.

This UL-recognized gate driver has a high operating voltage range at the output stage which makes it suited for direct driving power MOSFETs at high frequency for high-efficiency conversion. It provides reinforced insulation and reliability that delivers safe signal isolation critical in automotive and high-temperature industrial applications. This AEC-Q100 Grade 1-qualified gate drive optocoupler has a low supply current allowing bootstrap half-bridge topology. It benefits from under-voltage lock-out (UVLO) protection with hysteresis for power MOSFET to prevent false trigger. This RoHS-compliant gate driver is available in a surface-mount package that measures 6.807 x 5.850 x 3.180 mm.
