Digital Optocouplers Deliver Low Power Consumption and High Isolation for Automotive Applications

Avago's ACE Q100 grade optocouplers, the ACPL-K4xT/K7xT series has lowered LED driving current compared to conventional optocouplers, thus lowering system power consumption. Additionally, the stretched surface-mount package reduces the optocoupler's footprint and volume while improving the insulation clearance and creepage, increasing the insolation voltage rating. The ACPL-K4xT//K7xT family of digital optocouplers can be applied in applications such as IPM drivers, CAN bus interfaces and discrete digital-signal isolation in HEV, PHEV and EV systems.
