Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies' 2.5 Amp Automotive R2Coupler® Gate
Drive Optocoupler contains an AlGaAs LED, which is optically
coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output stage. The
ACPL-K33T features fast propagation delay and tight timing
skew, is ideally designed for driving SiC MOSFET and IGBTs
used in AC-DC and DC-DC converters. The high operating
voltage range of the output stage provides the drive voltages
required by gate-controlled devices. The voltage and high
peak output current supplied by this optocoupler make it
ideally suited for direct driving SiC MOSFET and IGBTs at high
frequency for high efficiency conversion.
Avago R2Coupler isolation products provide reinforced
insulation and reliability that delivers safe signal isolation
critical in automotive and high-temperature industrial
applications.

Anti-Cross Conduction Drive
One of the many benefits of using ACPL-K33T is the ease of implementing anti-cross conduction drive between the high side and
the low side gate drivers to prevent a shoot-through event. This safety interlock drive can be realized by interlocking the output of
buffer U5 and U6 to both the high and the low side gate drivers, as shown in Figure 16. Due to the difference in propagation delay
between optocouplers, however, a certain amount of dead time has to be added to ensure sufficient dead time at the MOSFET
gate. For more details, see the “Dead Time and Propagation Delay” section.

Data Sheet
Recommended LED Drive Circuits
Recommended LED Drive Circuits
There will be common mode noise whenever there is a difference in the ground level of the optocoupler’s input control circuitry
and that of the output control circuitry. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the recommended LED drive circuits that use logic gate
(CMOS buffer) for high common mode rejection (CMR) performance of the optocoupler gate driver. Split limiting resistors are used
to balance the impedance at both anode and cathode of the input LED for high common mode noise rejection. The output
impedance of the CMOS buffer (shown as RO in Figure 17 and Figure 18) has to be included in the calculation for LED drive current.
On the other hand, Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the recommended LED drive circuits that use a single transistor. During the LED
off state, M1 and Q1 in Figure 19 and Figure 20 will shunt current, which results in greater power consumption. It is not
recommended to have open drain and open collector drive circuits, as shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22. This is because during the
off state of the MOSFET/transistor, the cathode of the input LED sees high impedance and becomes sensitive to noise.
Drive Power
If a CMOS buffer is used to drive the LED, it is recommended that you connect the CMOS buffer at the LED cathode. This is because
the sinking capability of the NMOS is usually greater than the driving capability of the PMOS in a CMOS buffer.
Drive Logic
The designer can configure LED drive circuits for non-inverting and inverting logic as recommended in Figure 17 and Figure 18. For
the inverting and non-inverting logic to work, the external power supply VDD1 must be connected to the CMOS buffer. If the VDD1
supply is lost, the LED will be permanently off and output will be low.
Bypass and Reservoir Capacitors
Supply bypass capacitors are necessary at the input buffer and ACPL-K33T output supply pin. A ceramic capacitor with the value of
0.1 μF is recommended at the input buffer to provide high frequency bypass, which also helps to improve CMR performance. At the
output supply pin (VCC – VEE), it is recommended to use a 10 μF, low ESR and low ESL capacitor as a charge reservoir to supply
instant driving current to IGBT at VOUT during switching.

Initial Power Up and UVLO Operation
Initial Power Up and UVLO Operation
Insufficient gate voltage to IGBT can increase IGBT turn-on resistance, resulting in a large power loss and damage to IGBT due to
high heat dissipation. ACPL-K33T constantly monitors the output power supply. During initial power up, the ACPL-K33T requires a
maximum of 50 μs initial startup time for the internal bias and circuitry to get ready. The gate driver output (VOUT ) is held at off
state during initial startup time. Thereafter, when the output power supply is lower than the under voltage lockout (VUVLO-)
threshold, the gate driver output will shut off to protect IGBT from low voltage bias. When the output power supply is more than
the VUVLO+ threshold, VOUT is released from low state and it follows the input LED drive signal, as shown in Figure 23.

Dead Time Distortion and Propagation Delay
Dead time is the period of time during which both high side and low side power transistors (shown as Q1 and Q2 in Figure 16) are
off. Originally, the system is required to design in some amount of dead time to compensate for the turn-off delay needed for the
MOSFET to discharge the input capacitance after the gate is switched off. In this application note, this amount of dead time is called
system original dead time. When an optocoupler is used, the designer has to consider the effect of the optocoupler’s dead time
distortion (DTD) toward system original dead time. The optocoupler’s negative DTD decreases system original dead time; on the
other hand, the optocoupler’s positive DTD increases system original dead time. Therefore, the designer must add extra dead time
to system original dead time to compensate for the optocoupler’s negative DTD. Figure 24 and Figure 25 illustrate the effect of the
optocoupler’s DTD to system original dead time.

Programmable Dead Time
Here is an example of total dead time calculation for a typical optocoupler drive circuit for MOSFET.
Total dead time required = System original dead time + |optocoupler’s negative DTD|
= System original dead time + |40 ns|
where system original dead time = MOSFET turn-off delay
NOTE
The propagation delays used to calculate dead time distortion (DTD) are taken at equal temperatures and test
conditions as the optocouplers used under consideration are typically mounted in close proximity to each other
and are switching same type of MOSFETs.
Programmable Dead Time
Programmable dead time can be introduced to an optocoupler gate driver by adding an external capacitor (CDT) across the input
LED (Anode and Cathode) as shown in Figure 26. This simple circuitry offers you the flexibility to optimize gate drive switching
timing for various MOSFETs and applications through hardware configuration.
The value of the external capacitor (CDT) can be calculated based on the minimum dead time requirement for the system, as
shown in the following equation. The added dead time will delay the turn-on timing of the gate signal, as shown in Figure 27.

Thermal Resistance Model for ACPL-K33T
The diagram for measurement is shown in Figure 28. Here, one die is first heated and the temperatures of all the dice are recorded
after thermal equilibrium is reached. Then, the second die is heated and all the dice temperatures are recorded. With the known
ambient temperature, the die junction temperature and power dissipation, the thermal resistance can be calculated. The thermal
resistance calculation can be cast in matrix form. This yields a 2 by 2 matrix for our case of two heat sources.

These thermal resistances R11, R12, R21 and R22 can be improved by increasing the ground plane/copper area.
Application and environment design for ACPL-K33T needs to ensure that the junction temperature of the internal IC and LED
within the gate drive optocoupler do not exceed 150 °C. Use equation (1) and equation (2) to estimate the junction temperatures.
For example:
Calculation of LED and output IC power dissipation:
LED power dissipation, PE = IF(LED) (Recommended Max) × VF(LED) (at 125 °C) × Duty Cycle
= 13 mA × 1.25 V × 50%
= 8.125 mW
Output IC power dissipation, PO = VCC (Recommended Max) × ICC(Max) + PHS + PLS
= 30 V × 4.2 mA + 60 mW + 34.3 mW
= 220.3 mW
where
PHS
= High side switching power dissipation
= (VCC × QG × fPWM) × RDS,OH(MAX)/(RDS,OH(MAX) + RGH)/2
= (30 V × 80 nC × 200 kHz) × 4 /(4 +12 )/2
= 60 mW
PLS
= Low side switching power dissipation
= (VCC × QG × fPWM) × RDS,OL(MAX)/(RDS,OL(MAX) + RGL)/2
= (30 V × 80 nC × 200 kHz) × 2 /(2 +12 )/2
= 34.3 mW
QG
= Gate charge at supply voltage
fPWM
= LED switching frequency
RGH
= Gate charging resistance
RGL
= Gate discharging resistance

Calculation of LED junction temperature and output IC junction temperature at Ta=125 °C based on a high conductivity
board thermal resistance model:
LED junction temperature, T1 = (R11 × PE + R12 × PO) + Ta
= (155 °C/W × 8.125 mW + 64 °C/W × 220.3 mW) + 125 °C
= 140 °C < TJ(absolute max) of 150 °C
Output IC junction temperature, T2 = (R21 × PE + R22 × PO) + Ta
= (64 °C/W × 8.125 mW + 41 °C/W × 220.3 mW) + 125 °C
= 135 °C < TJ(absolute max) of 150 °C
