HCPL-3120-C1LO

KTP · Gate Drive Optocoupler · DIP-8

HCPL-3120-C1LO from KTP, in a DIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to a convenient node for creepage.
2 ANODE input Anode of the input GaAsP LED. Drive with IF(ON) = 7-16 mA to turn on the output; peak IFM = 25 mA. Typical forward voltage VF = 1.5 V.
3 CATHODE input Cathode of the input LED. Return path for the LED forward current; reverse input voltage VR limited to 5 V.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Provides input-to-output creepage on the input side of the DIP-8 package.
5 VSS power_in Negative (return) rail of the isolated output-side gate-drive supply. VDD-VSS operating range is 15 to 30 V (absolute max 0 to 30 V). Place the 0.1 uF bypass capacitor between pins 5 and 8 close to the package.
6 VO2 output Gate-drive output 2, internally tied to VO1 (pin 7). Both output pins are bonded together to share the 2.5 A peak sink/source current into the IGBT/MOSFET gate; connect pins 6 and 7 together at the PCB.
7 VO1 output Gate-drive output 1. Push-pull P-MOSFET/N-MOSFET output stage delivering IO(PEAK) up to 2.5 A (abs max 3.0 A) to drive an IGBT or power-MOSFET gate; VOH swings to within ~0.25 V of VDD at light load.
8 VDD power_in Positive rail of the isolated output-side gate-drive supply, 15-30 V typical (abs max 30 V). A 0.1 uF bypass capacitor between pins 5 and 8 close to the package is required.
