ACPL-P340/ACPL-W340
1.0 Amp Output Current IGBT Gate Drive
Optocoupler with Rail-to-Rail Output Voltage in
Stretched SO6
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The ACPL-P340/W340 contains an AlGaAs LED, which is
optically coupled to an integrated circuit with a power output
stage. This optocoupler is ideally suited for driving power
IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor control inverter
applications. 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 IGBT
with ratings up to 1200V/50A. For IGBTs with higher ratings,
this optocoupler can be used to drive a discrete power stage
which drives the IGBT gate. The ACPL-P340 and ACPL-W340
have the highest insulation voltage of VIORM = 891Vpeak and
VIORM = 1140Vpeak respectively in the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-55.

Note: All Broadcom data sheets report the creepage and clearance inherent to the optocoupler component itself. These dimensions are needed as a starting point
for the equipment designer when determining the circuit insulation requirements. However, once mounted on a printed circuit board, minimum creepage
and clearance requirements must be met as specified for individual equipment standards. For creepage, the shortest distance path along the surface of a
printed circuit board between the solder fillets of the input and output leads must be considered (the recommended Land Pattern does not necessarily meet
the minimum creepage of the device). There are recommended techniques such as grooves and ribs which may be used on a printed circuit board to achieve
desired creepage and clearances. Creepage and clearance distances will also change depending on factors such as pollution degree and insulation level.

1. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.3 mA/°C.
2. Maximum pulse width = 10 μs. This value is intended to allow for component tolerances for designs with IO peak minimum = 0.8A. See applications section for
additional details on limiting IOH peak.
3. Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 16.9 mW/°C.
4. Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 15.3 mW/°C. The maximum LED junction temperature should not exceed 125°C.
5. Maximum pulse width = 50 μs.
6. Output is sourced at –0.8A with a maximum pulse width = 10 μs. VCC – VO is measured to ensure 15V or below.
7. Output is sourced at 0.8A with a maximum pulse width = 10 μs. VO – VEE is measured to ensure 15V or below.
8. In this test VOH is measured with a DC load current. When driving capacitive loads, VOH will approach VCC as IOH approaches zero amps.

13. Common mode transient immunity in the high state is the maximum tolerable dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain
in the high state (meaning, VO > 15.0V).
14. Common mode transient immunity in a low state is the maximum tolerable dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a
low state (meaning, VO < 1.0V).

II-O < 5 μA).
16. In accordance with UL1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≤ 6000VRMS for 1 second (leakage detection current limit,

Application Information
Recommended Application Circuit
Product Overview Description
The recommended application circuit shown in Figure 22
illustrates a typical gate drive implementation using the ACPLP340. The following describes about driving IGBT. However, it
is also applicable to MOSFET. Designers will need to adjust the
VCC supply voltage, depending on the MOSFET or IGBT gate
threshold requirements (Recommended VCC = 15V for IGBT
and 12V for MOSFET).
The ACPL-P340/W340 is an optically isolated power output
stage capable of driving IGBTs of up to 50A and 1200V. Based
on BCDMOS technology, this gate drive optocoupler delivers
higher peak output current, better rail-to-rail output voltage
performance, and two times faster speed than the previous
generation products.
The high-peak output current and short propagation delay
are needed for fast IGBT switching to reduce dead time and
improve system overall efficiency. 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. This helps the
designer lower the system power which is suitable for bootstrap power supply operation.
It has very high CMR(common mode rejection) rating which
allows the microcontroller and the IGBT to operate at very
large common mode noise found in industrial motor drives
and other power switching applications. The input is driven by
direct LED current and has a hysteresis that prevents output
oscillation if insufficient LED driving current is applied. This will
eliminates the need of additional Schmitt trigger circuit at the
input LED.
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
(3.0 mA) power supply will be enough to power the device.
The split resistors (in the ratio of 1.5:1) across the LED will
provide a high CMR response by providing a balanced
resistance network across the LED.
The gate resistor RG serves to limit gate charge current 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-P340 input as
this can result in unwanted coupling of transient signals into
ACPL-P340 and degrade performance.
The stretched SO6 package which is up to 50% smaller than
conventional DIP package facilitates smaller more compact
design. These stretched packages are compliant to many
industrial safety standards such as IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5,
UL 1577 and CSA.

Rail-to-Rail Output
Selecting the Gate Resistor (Rg)
Figure 23 shows a typical gate driver’s high current output
stage with 3 bipolar transistors in darlington configuration.
During the output high transition, the output voltage rises
rapidly to within 3 diode drops of VCC. To ensure the VOUT is at
VCC in order to achieve IGBT rated VCE(ON) voltage. The level of
VCC will be need to be raised to beyond VCC+3(VBE) to account
for the diode drops. And to limit the output voltage to VCC, a
pull-down resistor, RPULL-DOWN between the output and VEE is
recommended to sink a static current while the output is high.
Step 1: Calculate Rg minimum from the IOL peak specification.

Step 1: Check the ACPL-P340/W340 power dissipation and increase Rg if necessary. The ACPL-P340/W340 total power dissipation (PT ) is equal to the sum of the emitter power (PE) and the
output power (PO).

The value of 3 mA for ICC in the previous equation is the maximum ICC over the entire operating temperature range.
ACPL-P340 uses a power PMOS to deliver the large current and
pull it to VCC to achieve rail-to-rail output voltage as shown in
Figure 24. This ensures that the IGBT’s gate voltage is driven
to the optimum intended level with no power loss across IGBT
even when an unstable power supply is used.

LED Drive Circuit Considerations for High
CMR Performance
Figure 26 shows the recommended drive circuit for the ACPLP340/W340 that gives optimum common-mode rejection.
The two current setting resistors balance the common mode
impedances at the LED’s anode and cathode. Common-mode
transients can be capacitive coupled from the LED anode,
through CLA (or cathode through CLC) to the output-side
ground causing current to be shunted away from the LED
(which is not wanted when the LED should be on) or conversely cause current to be injected into the LED (which is not
wanted when the LED should be off ).
Table 8 shows the directions of ILP and ILN depend on the polarity of the common-mode transient. For transients occurring
when the LED is on, common-mode rejection (CMH, since the
output is at “high” state) depends on LED current (IF). For conditions where IF is close to the switching threshold (IFLH), CMH
also depends on the extent to which ILP and ILN balance each
other. In other words, any condition where a common-mode
transient causes a momentary decrease in IF (meaning when
dVCM/dt > 0 and |ILP| > |ILN|, referring to Table 8) will cause a
common-mode failure for transients which are fast enough.
Likewise for a common-mode transient that occurs when the
LED is off (meaning CML, since the output is at “low” state), if
an imbalance between ILP and ILN results in a transient IF equal
to or greater than the switching threshold of the optocoupler,
the transient “signal” may cause the output to spike above 1
V, which constitutes a CML failure. The balanced ILED-setting
resistors help equalize the common mode voltage change at
the anode and cathode. The shunt drive input circuit will also
help to achieve high CML performance by shunting the LED in
the off state.
