3 A peak gate drive with 5000 Vrms isolation
The FOD3120V is a single-channel optocoupled gate driver from onsemi, delivering 3 A peak output current with 5000 Vrms isolation — enough to drive medium-power IGBTs and MOSFETs in motor drives and industrial inverters without a separate booster stage.
60 ns switching with 35 kV/µs transient immunity
Typical rise and fall times of 60 ns keep switching losses low, while the 35 kV/µs minimum common-mode transient immunity prevents false triggering in noisy inverter environments where dV/dt on the floating side exceeds 10 kV/µs. Maximum propagation delay is 400 ns with pulse-width distortion capped at 100 ns, giving the designer a predictable timing budget for dead-time insertion.
Active production — no last-time-buy pressure
The FOD3120V carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Supplied in Tube for the 8-DIP through-hole package. The through-hole form factor suits prototype builds, low-volume production, and rework scenarios where a soldering iron is preferred over a reflow oven.
Supply range 15 V to 30 V, industrial temperature grade
The output supply rail accepts 15 V to 30 V, covering standard gate-drive voltages for IGBTs (15 V on, -5 V to -15 V off) and MOSFETs (10 V to 20 V). Operating temperature from -40°C to 100°C suits industrial enclosures and outdoor telecom cabinets without forced cooling.
