APV1122S
Specifications: The APV1122S is a photovoltaic (photodiode array) MOSFET driver optocoupler in a compact SOP-4 surface-mount package. It features a standard 8µA output short-circuit current (Isc) and 8V open-circuit voltage (Voc) when driven by its 0.5mA forward current (IF). The input LED exhibits a typical forward voltage (Vf) of 1.2-1.4VDC. The device provides reliable 2500Vrms electrical isolation and a high isolation resistance of 10^10Ω. Its switching times are 230µs (turn-on) and 30µs (turn-off), making it suitable for medium-speed switching applications. Rated for industrial environments, it operates from -40°C to 85°C.
Application Scenarios: This optocoupler is ideal for driving small-signal MOSFETs or the gates of IGBTs in low-power, isolated circuits. It is extensively used in solid-state relay (SSR) modules, as an isolated gate driver for AC-DC converters and off-line switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), and in battery management systems (BMS) for safely enabling/discharging paths, where its combination of isolation, compact size, and sufficient drive capability meets critical design needs.
APV1123S
Specifications: The APV1123S is a photovoltaic MOSFET driver optocoupler with a higher 12V open-circuit voltage. Similar to the APV1122S, it provides 8µA of short-circuit current from a 0.5mA LED drive, an input Vf of 1.2-1.4VDC, and 2500Vrms isolation. Its switching performance is identical, with 230µs turn-on and 30µs turn-off times. Housed in an SOP-4 package, it is designed for reliable operation across the -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range.
Application Scenarios: The higher 12V output voltage makes this variant particularly suitable for driving MOSFETs that require a higher gate-source voltage (Vgs) to achieve full enhancement and lowest Rds(on). It is an excellent choice for high-side switches in isolated DC-DC converters, for driving the series MOSFETs in telecom protection circuits, and in medical equipment where a higher gate drive voltage ensures robust and predictable switching in safety-critical isolated power stages.
APV1125S
Specifications: The APV1125S offers a balanced performance profile with 12µA Isc and 8V Voc. It operates with a standard 0.5mA input current but has a slightly higher LED forward voltage range of 1.3-1.6VDC. Its switching times are 400µs (on) and a fast 30µs (off). Like all models in this series, it provides 2500Vrms of safety isolation and 10^10Ω isolation resistance in a compact, surface-mount SOP-4 package rated for -40°C to 85°C.
Application Scenarios: This driver provides a good middle ground between current capability and speed. It is suitable for a wide range of general-purpose isolated switching applications, such as in programmable logic controller (PLC) output modules, for isolated enable/disable control in test and measurement equipment, and in low-power motor drive interfaces, where its performance offers versatility for various medium-current, medium-voltage MOSFETs.
