Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of a new SMD low-profile 2.5 A IGBT and MOSFET driver for motor drives, alternative energy, welding equipment, and other high-working-voltage applications. The Vishay Semiconductors VOL3120 features a small footprint with a 2.5 mm height and minimum 8 mm clearance and external creepage distance. In addition to its compact size, the device provides high isolation voltage ratings of VIORM = 1050V and VIOTM = 8000V, designed for applications operating at higher working voltages and/or with higher pollution degree environments.

The height of the VOL3120 is 30% lower than drivers in the standard DIP package, saving space and enabling flat-sized applications such as inductive stovetops and compact inverters used in domestic solar and motor drives. In addition to providing superior isolation, the VOL3120 also incorporates state-of-the-art electrical performance. The device’s undervoltage lock-out feature protects the IGBT / MOSFET from malfunction, while its common mode transient immunity of more than 48 kV/µs eliminates noise issues from low-voltage areas on the PCB.

The driver released today operates over a wide power supply range of 15 V to 32 V and an industrial temperature range from -40 to +100 degrees C. Featuring an unlimited floor life, the VOL3120 offers a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 in accordance to J-STD-020. The device is RoHS-complaint, halogen-free, and Vishay Green. Samples and production quantities of the VOL3120 are available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery starts at $0.79 per piece.
