The Broadcom ACFL-3161 driver is a 10A peak, rail-to-rail output gate drive optocoupler. It comes in a compact, surface-mountable SO-12 package for spacesavings. The ACFL-3161 is primarily designed with high peak driving current capability to ensure optimum performance for direct driving SiC MOSFET or IGBT in various applications. The ACFL-3161 features fast propagation delay and tight dead time distortion, which make it ideal for driving SiC MOSFET and IGBTs at high frequency.
