Application Note 7511 For optically isolated “relay-action” switching, it makes sense directly from TTL levels, thanks to its 1.2V, 20mA input to replace the phototransistor optocoupler with an H11L1 parameters. Schmitt-trigger optocoupler (Figure 2B).) For applications Available photovoltaic couplers have an output-current requiring extremely high isolation, you can use an optical fiber capability of approximately 100µA. Combined with to provide the signal to the gate-control photodetector. The

Application Note 7511 It’s impractical, however, to rate an inverter based on locked- RMS. For the peak current of 8.766A, you can select IGT rotor current. You can avoid this necessity by adjusting the type D94FR4. This device has a reverse-breakdown SOA switching regulator’s output voltage and by providing a fixed (RBSOA) of 10A, 500V for a clamped inductive load at a o output-current limit slightly higher than the maximum full- junction temperature of 150 C. A 400V IGT could also do the load

Application Note 7511 Use 6-Step Drive For Speed-Invariant Torque Figure 10A shows the inverter circuit configured for this example. Diodes D through D carry the same peak current 1 6 as the IGTs; consequently, they’re rated to handle peak cur- rents of at least 8.766A. However, they only conduct for a o o o short time (15 to 20 of 180 ), so their average-current requirement is relatively small. External circuitry can control the IGT’s current fall time.
