SAN JOSE, CA and SINGAPORE -- Avago Technologies introduces the ACPL-K30T, an optocoupler-based photovoltaic driver device designed to drive high voltage MOSFET and withstand extreme heat for automotive under-the-hood applications. The device is optimized for use in battery management systems of modern electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) as well as high-temperature power systems of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles.
The ACPL-K30T is the industry's first solid state photovoltaic driver that is automotive qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. The device features high ESD rating and fast turn-off time, and is compatible with a wide selection of AEC-Q101 certified MOSFET components to form a solid state relay solution of desired voltage or current rating. The ACPL-K30T is the latest addition to the Avago R2Coupler(R) family of automotive optocouplers, providing reinforced insulation and reliability for mission critical under-the-hood applications.
