IGBT Drivers
Optically isolated IGBT drivers are used to isolate the high-voltage stage of an DC/AC inverter from the low-voltage control
circuitry. Isolation is required for safety purposes because string inverters are inverting a high-voltage DC
output from the solar panels to a high-voltage output that will be fed to the utility grid. This high voltage must be isolated from
the user accessible low-voltage circuitry. Optically isolated IGBT drivers also allow the designers to separate low-noise control
circuitry from noisy high-voltage and high-current circuitry, which improves performance, shrinks product size, and simplifies
the design process.

High-Speed Analog and Digital Optocouplers
I/O communications ports in string inverters require isolation for safety and for minimizing the RF noise that can be created
when noise coupling turns communication cables into a highly efficient antenna for RF emissions. Use
of optical isolation can quickly and easily eliminate extremely expensive EMI/RFI complications and reduce design
risk. In other words, a pinch of optocouplers can be worth a pound of ferrite beads and copper shielding!

Solid-State Relays and MOSFET Drivers
It is common to include relay contact outputs for actuation of external devices, such as audible alarms in case of
power outages and fans for auxiliary cooling. While mechanical relays can be used in these applications, it is more
reliable to use optically isolated solid-state relays. In addition to Vishay’s broad selection of SSRs, customers also
have the option of using MOSFET drivers to build a custom relay using discrete standard MOSFETs.

High-Voltage Optocouplers
Features
Isolation requirements vary depending on the device’s installation
category. As shown in the diagram, Category IV devices are
connected to utility power. To protect low-voltage electronics from
high-voltage power, ordinary optocouplers may not be sufficient.
For CAT IV, AC isolation should be at least 8000 V.
• AC isolation of 8200 VRMS minimum
• Distance through insulation > 3 mm
• VDE 0160 and VDE 0884 for electrical power
installation
• IEC 60065 for mains-operated electronics
