Notes:
1. Maximum pulse width = 100 ns, Duty cycle = 2%.
2. Derate linearly above 110 °C free-air temperature at a rate of 13 mW/°C. Refer to Figure 2 from Output IC Power Dissipation Derating Chart.
3. Total power dissipation is derated linearly above 110 °C free-air temperature at a rate of 13 mW/°C. The maximum LED and IC junction temperature
should not exceed 150 °C.
4. Output is source at -2.0 A or 2.0 A with a maximum pulse width of 10 µs.
5. In this test VOH is measured with a DC load current. When driving capacitive loads VOH will approach VCC as IOH approaches zero amps.
6. Maximum pulse width = 1 ms.
7. This load condition approximates the gate load of a 600 V/50 A power MOSFET.
8. Pulse Width Distortion (PWD) is defined as tPHL-tPLH for any given device.
9. Dead Time Distortion (DTD) is defined as tPLH – tPHLbetween any two parts under the same test condition. A negative DTD reduces original system
dead time; while a positive DTD increases original system dead time.
10. Pin 2 and Pin 4 must be connected to LED common.
11. Common mode transient immunity in the high state is the maximum tolerable dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output
will remain in the high state, (i.e., VO > 10 V).
12. Common mode transient immunity in a low state is the maximum tolerable dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output
will remain in a low state (i.e., VO < 1.0 V).
13. In accordance with UL1577, each optocoupler is proof-tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 6000 VRMS for 1 second.
14. Device considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 shorted together and pins 5, 6, 7 and 8 shorted together.

Figure 16. Typical high-speed MOSFET gate drive circuit
Anti-Cross Conduction Drive
One of the many benefits of using ACPL-K34T is the ease to implement anti-cross conduction drive between the high
side and low side gate drivers to prevent shoot through event. This safety interlock drive can be realized by interlocking the output of buffer U5 and U6 to both high and low side gate drivers, as shown in Figure 16. However, due to the
propagation delay difference between optocouplers, certain amount of dead time has to be added to ensure sufficient
dead time at MOSFET gate. Refer to Dead Time and Propagation Delay section for more details.
Recommended LED Drive Circuits
Common mode noise exists whenever there is a difference in the ground level of the optocoupler’s input control circuitry and output control circuitry. Figure 17 and 18 show recommended LED drive circuits for high common mode
rejection (CMR) performance of the optocoupler gate driver. Split limiting resistors are used to balance the impedance
at both anode and cathode of the input LED for high common mode noise rejection (see Figure 15).
Open drain and open collector drive circuits showed in Figure 19 are not recommended. During the off state of the MOSFET/transistor, cathode of the input LED sees high impedance and becomes sensitive to noise. In any cases, if designer
still prefers to use single MOSFET/transistor drive over the recommended CMOS buffer drive showed in Figure 17 and
18, designer can choose alternative circuits showed in Figure 20; however M1/Q1 in Figure 20 drive circuits will shunt
current during LED off state, which result in more power consumption.
Drive Power
If CMOS buffer is used to drive LED, it is recommended to connect the CMOS buffer at the LED cathode. This is because
the sinking capability of the NMOS is usually more than the driving capability of the PMOS in a CMOS buffer.
Drive Logic
Designer can configure LED drive circuits for non-inverting and inverting logic as recommended in Figure 17 and 18.
External power supply, VDD1 has to be connected to the CMOS buffer for the inverting and non-inverting logic to work.
If VDD1 supply is lost, LED will be permanently off and output will be at low.
10
Bypass and Reservoir Capacitors
Supply bypass capacitors are necessary at the input buffer and ACPL-K34T output supply pin. A ceramic capacitor with
the value of 0.1 µF is recommended at the input buffer to provide high frequency bypass, which also helps to improve
CMR performance. At the output supply pin (VCC – VEE), it is recommended to use a 10 µF, low ESR and low ESL capacitor
as a charge reservoir to supply instant driving current to MOSFET at VOUT during switching.

Initial Power Up and UVLO Operation
Insufficient gate voltage to MOSFET can increase turn on resistance of MOSFET, resulting in large power loss and MOSFET damage due to high heat dissipation. ACPL-K34T monitors the output power supply constantly. During initial power
up, the ACPL-K34T requires maximum 50 µs of initial startup time for the internal bias and circuitry to get ready. The gate
driver output (VOUT ) is hold at off state during initial startup time. Thereafter, when the output power supply is lower
than under voltage lockout (VUVLO-) threshold, gate driver output will shut off to protect MOSFET from low voltage bias.
When the output power supply is more than the VUVLO+ threshold, VOUT is released from low state and it follows the
input LED drive signal, as shown in Figure 21.

Dead Time Distortion and Propagation Delay
Dead time is the period of time during which both high side and low side power transistors (shown as Q1 and Q2 in Figure 16) are off. Any overlap in Q1 and Q2 conduction will result in a shoot-through event and large short circuit current
will flow through the power devices between the high side and low side power rail.
ACPL-K34T includes a Dead Time Distortion (DTD) specification intended to help designers optimize dead time in a
power inverter design. A negative DTD value will decrease the system dead time, and so a negative DTD must be compensated by adding extra dead time to the design. Figure 22a shows that dead time after optocoupler is reduced by
negative DTD. On the other hand, a positive DTD will add to the system original dead time, and so a positive DTD will
cause dead time redundancy to the system. Figure 22b shows that dead time after optocoupler is increased by positive
DTD.

Figure 22b. Positive DTD increased original DT
To prevent cross-conduction between high side and low side power transistors, minimum dead time (DT MIN) must
be introduced to the system. For example, given DTD MIN = -40 ns and DTD MAX = 50 ns, if designers target to have
minimum dead time (DT MIN) of 20 ns after the optocoupler, then initial dead time (DT) needed for the system can be
calculated as:
DT = DT MIN – DTD MIN
= 20ns – (-40ns)
= 60ns
Maximum dead time (DT MAX) after the optocoupler can be calculated as:
DT MAX = DT + DTD MAX
= 60 ns + 50 ns
= 110 ns
By introducing DT = 60 ns, the overall system dead time can vary from 20 ns to 110 ns due to the optocoupler’s DTD.
Note: The propagation delays used to calculate dead time distortion (DTD) are taken at equal temperatures and test
conditions since the optocouplers used are typically mounted close to each other and are switching the same type of
MOSFETs.

Thermal Resistance Model for ACPL-K34T
The diagram for measurement is shown in Figure 23. Here, one die is heated first and the temperatures of all the dice are
recorded after thermal equilibrium is reached. Then, the second die is heated and all the dice temperatures are recorded.
With the known ambient temperature, the die junction temperature and power dissipation, the thermal resistance can
be calculated. The thermal resistance calculation can be cast in matrix form. This yields a 2 by 2 matrix for our case of
two heat sources.

Application and environment design for ACPL-K34T needs to ensure that the junction temperature of the internal IC
and LED within the gate drive optocoupler do not exceed 150 °C. The equation (1) and (2) provided above are for the
purposes of estimating the junction temperatures. For example:
Calculation of LED and output IC power dissipation
LED power dissipation, PE = IF(LED) (Recommended Max) * VF(LED) (at 125 °C) * Duty Cycle
= 13 mA * 1.25 V * 50%
= 8.125 mW
Output IC power dissipation, PO = VCC (Recommended Max) * ICC(Max) + PHS + PLS
= 20 V * 4 mA + 53.3 mW + 32 mW
= 165.3 mW
where PHS = High side switching power dissipation
= (VCC * QG * fPWM)* RDS,OH(MAX) / (RDS,OH(MAX) + RGH) /2
= (20 V * 80nC * 200 kHz) * 4Ω/(4Ω+8Ω)/2
= 53.3mW
PLS = Low side switching power dissipation
= (VCC * QG * fPWM)* RDS,OL(MAX) / (RDS,OL(MAX) + RGL) /2
= (20 V * 80 nC * 200 kHz) * 2Ω/(2Ω+8Ω)/2
= 32 mW
QG = Gate charge at supply voltage
fPWM = LED switching frequency
RGH = Gate charging resistance
RGL = Gate discharging resistance
Calculation of LED junction temperature and output IC junction temperature at Ta=125 °C:
LED junction temperature,
T1 = (R11 × PE + R12 × PO) + TA
= (191°C/W * 8.125 mW + 68.5 °C/W * 165.3 mW) + 125 °C
= 138 °C < TJ(absolute max) of 150 °C
Output IC junction temperature,
T2 = (R21 × PE + R22 × PO) + TA
= (68.5 °C/W * 8.125 mW + 77 °C/W * 165.3 mW) + 125 °C
= 138 °C < TJ(absolute max) of 150 °C
