Description:
M57159L-01 is a hybrid integrated
circuit designed for driving n-channel
IGBT modules in any gate amplifier
application. This device operates
as an isolation amplifier for these
modules and provides the required
electrical isolation between the
input and output with an optocoupler. Short circuit protection is
provided by a built in desaturation
detector. A fault signal is provided
if the short circuit protection is
activated.
