Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Single-channel optoisolator with integrated gate driver for power MOSFET/IGBT control in isolated high-voltage applications. Features 5kV isolation rating, 8-pin stretched SO package, and direct gate drive output suitable for switching frequencies up to several MHz. Commonly used in motor drives, power supplies, and industrial switching circuits requiring reinforced galvanic isolation.
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9×4.9mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
An 8-pin SOIC with 1.27mm pitch is too fine for breadboards and hand-soldering without a microscope. A breakout board routes these pins to standard 0.1" headers, enabling rapid prototyping and reliable connections for op-amps, transceivers, and small power MOSFETs without requiring reflow equipment.
