ACPL-P347/ACPL-W347
1.0-Amp Output Current SiC/GaN MOSFET and
IGBT Gate Drive Optocoupler in Stretched SO6
Description
The Broadcom® The ACPL-P347/W347 contains an
AlGaAs LED, which isoptically coupled to an integrated
circuit with a power output stage. This optocoupler is ideally
suited for driving SiC/GaN (Silicon Carbide/Gallium Nitride)
MOSFETs and IGBTs used in power conversion
applications. The high operating voltage range of the output
stage provides the drive voltages required by gatecontrolled devices. The voltage and high peak output
current supplied by this optocoupler make it ideally suited
for direct driving SiC/GaN MOSFET and IGBT with ratings
up to 1200V/50A.

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, that 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.

a. Pulse Width Distortion (PWD) is defined as |tPHL – tPLH| for any given device.
b. Propagation Delay Difference (PDD) is the difference between tPHL and tPLH between any two units under the same test condition.

d. Pin 2 must be connected to LED common. Split resistor network in the ratio 1.5:1 with 232Ω at the anode and 154Ω at the cathode.
e. 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).
f. 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).

Application Information
Product Overview Description
The ACPL-P347/W347 is an optically isolated power output
stage capable of driving power or SiC. 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 MOSFET switching to reduce dead time
and improve system overall efficiency. Rail-to-rail output
voltage ensures that the MOSFET’s gate voltage is driven to
the optimum intended level with no power loss across the
MOSFET. 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 MOSFET 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 eliminates the need of additional Schmitt
trigger circuit at the input LED.
The stretched SO6 package which is up to 50% smaller than
conventional DIP package facilitates smaller and 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.
Recommended Application Circuit
The recommended application circuit shown in Figure 14
illustrates a typical gate drive implementation using the
ACPL-P347.
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 (4.0 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 MOSFET switching times.
In PC board design, care should be taken to avoid routing
the MOSFET drain or source traces close to the ACPL-P347
input as this can result in unwanted coupling of transient
signals into ACPL-P347 and degrade performance.

LED Drive Circuit Considerations
for High CMR Performance
Figure 15 shows the recommended drive circuit for the
ACPL-P347/W347 that gives optimum common-mode
rejection. The two current setting resistors balance the
common mode impedances at the LED’s anode and
cathode. 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.

Dead Time and Propagation Delay
Specifications
The ACPL-P347/W347 includes a Propagation Delay
Difference (PDD) specification intended to help designers
minimize “dead time” in their power inverter designs. Dead
time is the time period during which both the high and low
side power transistors (Q1 and Q2 in Figure 14) are off. Any
overlap in Q1 and Q2 conduction will result in large currents
flowing through the power devices between the high and low
voltage motor rails.
To minimize dead time in a given design, the turn on of
LED2 should be delayed (relative to the turn off of LED1) so
that under worst-case conditions, transistor Q1 has just
turned off when transistor Q2 turns on, as shown in
Figure 16. The amount of delay necessary to achieve this
condition is equal to the maximum value of the propagation
delay difference specification, PDDMAX, which is specified
to be 100 ns over the operating temperature range of –40°C
to 105°C.
Delaying the LED signal by the maximum propagation delay
difference ensures that the minimum dead time is zero, but
it does not tell a designer what the maximum dead time will
be. The maximum dead time is equivalent to the difference
between the maximum and minimum propagation delay
difference specifications as shown in Figure 17. The
maximum dead time for the ACPL-P347/W347 is 100 ns
(= 50 ns – (–50 ns)) over an operating temperature range of
–40°C to 105°C.
Note that the propagation delays used to calculate PDD and
dead time are taken at equal temperatures and test
conditions because the optocouplers under consideration
are typically mounted in close proximity to each other and
are switching identical MOSFETs.

This thermal model assumes that an 6-pin single-channel
plastic package optocoupler is soldered into a 7.62-cm ×
7.62-cm printed circuit board (PCB) per JEDEC standards.
The temperature at the LED and Detector junctions of the
optocoupler can be calculated using the following equations.
Equation 1:
T1 = (R11 × P1 + R12 × P2) + Ta
Equation 2:
T2 = (R21 × P1 + R22 × P2) + Ta
Using the given thermal resistances and thermal model
formula in this data sheet, we can calculate the junction
temperature for both LED and the output detector. Both
junction temperatures should be within the absolute
maximum rating.
For example, given P1 = 17 mW, P2 = 124 mW, Ta = 85°C:
LED junction temperature,
T1
= (R11 × P1 + R12 × P2) + Ta
= (135 × 0.017 + 27 × 0.124) + 85
= 90.7°C
Output IC junction temperature,
T2
= (R21 x P1 + R22 x P2) + Ta
= (39 × 0.017 + 47 × 0.124) + 85
= 91.5°C
T1 and T2 should be limited to 125°C based on the board
layout and part placement.
