Product details
Overview
PS9307AL2-E3-AX from Renesas Electronics is a 6-pin SDIP surface-mount photocopler optimized for IGBT and power MOSFET gate driving in high-noise industrial inverters and AC servo systems. It delivers 0.6 A peak output current, achieves ≤150 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and sustains ±50 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMH/CML) at 125 °C ambient operation.
For engineers reviewing the PS9307AL2-E3-AX datasheet, PS9307AL2-E3-AX pinout, PS9307AL2-E3-AX application, or PS9307AL2-E3-AX equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative options for high-CMR isolated gate drive design.
Technical Context
The PS9307AL2-E3-AX integrates an AlGaAs LED input stage with a monolithic output stage comprising a photodiode, signal processing circuit, and dual power MOSFETs - enabling single-chip, high-speed, high-isolation gate drive functionality. Its architecture supports fast switching (tr = 6 ns, tf = 7 ns) and features under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with 8.6–9.8 V turn-on threshold and 0.4 V hysteresis.
Designed for reinforced insulation per EN/IEC/UL/CSA 62368-1 and VDE DIN EN 60747-5-5 (option), it provides 5,000 Vr.m.s. isolation voltage and 8 mm minimum creepage distance. The device operates across −40 to +125 °C and requires no external bias on Pin 2 (NC), which must remain unconnected or tied to GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 0.6 A peak (10 µs pulse, 0.5% duty): sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge IGBT gates up to 1.5 µC in high-power motor drives. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤150 ns (tPLH/tPHL): enables precise timing control in 250 kHz switching applications like servo amplifiers. |
| CM Transient Immunity | ±50 kV/µs (CMH/CML): suppresses false triggering during high-dV/dt transients in industrial inverter DC bus switching. |
| Isolation Voltage | 5,000 Vr.m.s. (1 min): meets reinforced insulation requirements for safety-critical motor control systems. |
| Creepage Distance | 8 mm minimum: satisfies enhanced clearance requirements for high-voltage industrial equipment per IEC 60664-1 Pollution Degree 2. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 to +125 °C: supports deployment in enclosed, thermally stressed environments such as HVAC inverters and traction converters. |
| UVLO Threshold | 8.6–9.8 V turn-on, 6.8–8.2 V turn-off: prevents erratic gate behavior during brown-out conditions in unregulated auxiliary supplies. |
Pinout & Package
PS9307AL2-E3-AX uses a 6-pin Shrink Dual In-line Package (SDIP) with gull-wing leads for surface mounting and 8 mm creepage distance. Package dimensions: 11.5 × 6.8 × 4.58 mm (L × W × H), weight 0.27 g (typ.), lead pitch 1.27 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Anode | LED input anode | Connects to current-limited forward drive (8–12 mA typical); reverse voltage rating is only 5 V. |
| 2. NC | No connection | Must be left open or connected to GND on LED side; not usable as signal path or bypass node. |
| 3. Cathode | LED input cathode | Completes LED forward path; reverse leakage ≤10 µA at 3 V ensures low standby power. |
| 4. GND | Output-side ground reference | Return path for output stage; must be separated from input-side ground to maintain isolation barrier integrity. |
| 5. VO | Output driver source terminal | High-side output node; delivers 0.2–0.4 A into load depending on VO–VCC differential (per IOH spec). |
| 6. VCC | Output-stage supply rail | Accepts 10–30 V; internal UVLO monitors this rail to disable output if voltage drops below 6.8 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced insulation certification | UL 1577 (double protection), CSA C22.2 No.62368-1, EN/IEC 62368-1, VDE DIN EN 60747-5-5 (option): enables single-component safety compliance in Class I/II equipment. |
| High-speed switching | tPLH/tPHL ≤150 ns, tr = 6 ns, tf = 7 ns: reduces dead-time uncertainty and improves efficiency in high-frequency PWM motor control. |
| Integrated UVLO | VUVLO+ = 8.6–9.8 V, VUVLO− = 6.8–8.2 V, hysteresis = 0.4 V: eliminates partial-turn-on risk during power-up/down sequences. |
| Pb-free construction | Ni/Pd/Au plating, RoHS-compliant: meets global environmental regulations without compromising solderability or long-term reliability. |
| Thermal robustness | Rated for 125 °C ambient with derated power dissipation: supports compact PCB layouts in sealed enclosures without forced cooling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toshiba TLP350 | 0.5 A peak output, 100 ns max tPLH/tPHL, 8 mm creepage, same 6-pin SDIP package but lower CMR (±35 kV/µs). | Limited to lower dV/dt environments (e.g., <600 VDC bus); unsuitable for 1200 V IGBTs in high-noise factory floors. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extreme CMR needs and operating temperature stays ≤105 °C. |
| ON Semiconductor FOD3180 | 0.6 A peak output, 150 ns max tPLH/tPHL, 7.5 mm creepage, 8-pin DIP package (larger footprint), no integrated UVLO. | Requires external UVLO circuitry and larger PCB area; certified to UL/CSA/IEC 60747-5-5 but lacks VDE option. | Choose when legacy 8-pin layout compatibility is required and external supervision circuitry is already present. |
Compared with TLP350 and FOD3180, PS9307AL2-E3-AX offers superior CMR (±50 kV/µs), VDE-certified reinforced insulation, and monolithic UVLO - making it optimal for new designs targeting 125 °C operation and stringent industrial safety standards without added components or board space.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended forward current for the PS9307AL2-E3-AX LED input?
The PS9307AL2-E3-AX specifies a recommended forward current of 8–12 mA (IF(ON)) under normal operation. Absolute maximum continuous forward current is 25 mA, but sustained operation above 12 mA accelerates LED degradation and reduces lifetime. Pulse operation up to 1.0 A is allowed only for <1 µs duration and must comply with thermal derating curves shown in the datasheet.
Does the PS9307AL2-E3-AX require an external bypass capacitor, and where should it be placed?
Yes - a ≥1.0 µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor must be placed between VCC (Pin 6) and GND (Pin 4), located within 10 mm of the PS9307AL2-E3-AX package. This stabilizes the output-stage supply during high-current switching events and prevents UVLO false triggering caused by local rail collapse.
Can Pin 2 (NC) of the PS9307AL2-E3-AX be used as a ground tie or signal return?
No - Pin 2 is a true no-connect terminal. It may be left floating or tied directly to GND on the input (LED) side only. Using it as a signal path, bypass node, or shared return violates internal noise isolation design and risks degrading CMR performance or causing latch-up.
What safety certifications does the PS9307AL2-E3-AX hold, and which standards do they cover?
The PS9307AL2-E3-AX is UL 1577 approved (double protection), CSA CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.62368-1 certified, SEMKO EN/IEC 62368-1 compliant, and optionally VDE DIN EN 60747-5-5 qualified. These collectively validate reinforced insulation for use in Class I and Class II equipment up to 300 V working voltage.
How does the UVLO function behave during power-up of the PS9307AL2-E3-AX?
During power-up, the PS9307AL2-E3-AX output remains disabled until VCC rises above VUVLO+ (8.6–9.8 V). Once enabled, it stays active until VCC falls below VUVLO− (6.8–8.2 V), providing 0.4 V hysteresis to prevent oscillation near threshold. This ensures clean, bounce-free gate drive activation in unregulated auxiliary supplies.
