Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at

FOD8318 — 2.5 A Output Current, IGBT Drive Optocoupler with Active Miller Clamp, Desaturation Detection, and Isolated Fault Sensing
December 2012
FOD8318
2.5 A Output Current, IGBT Drive Optocoupler
with Active Miller Clamp, Desaturation Detection, and
Isolated Fault Sensing
Features
High noise immunity characterized by common mode
Description
The FOD8318 is an advanced 2.5 A output current
IGBT drive optocoupler capable of driving most
1200 V / 150 A IGBTs. It is ideally suited for fast-switch-
ing driving of power IGBTs and MOSFETs used in motor
control inverter applications and high-performance
power systems. It consists of an integrated gate drive
optocoupler featuring low R
DS(ON)
CMOS transistors to
drive the IGBT from rail to rail and an integrated high-
speed isolated feedback for fault sensing. The FOD8318
has an active Miller clamp fuction to shut off the IGBT
during a high dv/dt situation without the need of a nega-
tive supply voltage. It offers critical protection features
necessary for preventing fault conditions that lead to
destructive thermal runaway of IGBTs.
It utilizes Fairchild’s proprietary Optoplanar
®
coplanar
packaging technology and optimized IC design to
achieve high noise immunity, characterized by high
common mode rejection and power supply rejection
specifications.
The device is housed in a compact 16-pin small outline
plastic package that meets the 8 mm creepage and
clearance requirements.
