Renesas announces two new photocouplers

摘要

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced two new photocouplers PS9332L and PS9332L2, with an integrated insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) protection function, for applications such as industrial machinery and solar power systems. The new PS9332L and PS9332L2 feature an inte- grated active Miller clamp circuit to prevent IGBT malfunction, world-top-class high-speed switching (20 percent faster than conventional Renesas' products) among IGBT drive photocouplers with integrated IGBT protection function, the compact 8-pin SDIP (shrink dual inline package), and guaranteed high-temperature operation. The photocouplers can be used for gate drive of IGBT devices used in inverter circuits for motor control, etc.
