Renesas Electronics Introduces it’s first intelligent IGBT drive Optocoupler
Renesas Electronics Corporation introduces a new IGBT (integrated insulated gate bipolar transistor) drive optocoupler product, the “PS9402”, featuring IGBT protection functions. The PS9402 comprises a gallium-aluminum-arsenide (GaAlAs) LED as the light emitting element, a light receiving IC, and an IGBT protection circuit. It is designed to drive IGBTs used in inverter devices for purposes such as motor control or solar power conversion. The PS9402 IGBT drive optocoupler simplifies system design and contributes to greater compactness by integrating the protection circuit that previously had to be added as an external component.
