This document describes the features and characteristics of the Agilent HCPL-3180 2.0 Amp Output Current High Speed Gate Drive Optocoupler, including minimum peak output current, maximum switching speed, propagation delay, common mode rejection, under voltage lock-out protection, etc.
The HCPL-3180 optocoupler from Agilent provides a 2.0 A minimum peak output current and a maximum switching speed of 250 kHz, making it suitable for high‑frequency power‑device drive applications such as IGBT and MOSFET gate control. It features a typical propagation delay of 200 ns, 10 kV/µs common‑mode rejection, and under‑voltage lock‑out protection.
The device operates over a wide temperature range (‑40 °C to 100 °C) and a supply voltage range of 10 V to 20 V. It complies with UL 1577, CSA and IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747‑5‑2 safety approvals. Package options include a standard DIP and a gull‑wing surface‑mount version, with detailed mechanical dimensions and solder‑reflow profiles provided.
