IGBT Driver TLP250

These IGBT drivers are commonly used in applications where you need to switch a gate on a component with a microcontroller. The microcontroller is used to switch on an LED on the inside of this small IC, which switches on a photodetector. The photodetector in turn triggers the transistors in the IC, which will the allow current to flow from your source to your external circuitry. Because some MOSFETs and transistors require a higher voltage than that of a microcontroller to open the internal gate, this can easily be done by triggering the IGBT with the microcontroller.

• Transistor invertor
• Power MOSFET gate driver
• Transistor driver
