Product details
Overview
PS9506-V-AX from Renesas Electronics is a high-speed, high-CMR 8-pin DIP photocoppler optimized for IGBT and power MOSFET gate driving in industrial inverters and induction heating systems. It delivers 0.6 A peak output current, achieves ≤0.4 μs propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and sustains ±25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity with 5,000 Vr.m.s. isolation voltage.
For engineers reviewing the PS9506-V-AX datasheet, PS9506-V-AX pinout, PS9506-V-AX application, or PS9506-V-AX equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world IGBT gate drive use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts aligned to safety-certified industrial power control designs.
Technical Context
The PS9506-V-AX integrates a GaAlAs LED input stage with a monolithic photo-diode, signal processing circuit, and power output transistor on a single chip. Its architecture enables fast switching (≤0.4 μs tPLH/tPHL) and robust noise rejection via internal shield and optimized layout.
It operates across −40°C to +110°C ambient temperature with 10–30 V supply range (VCC−VEE), supports 8–12 mA forward current, and meets DIN EN60747-5-2 (VDE0884 Part2) for reinforced isolation - specifically certified under Option approval No. 40024069.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 0.6 A MAX. - sufficient to directly drive IGBT gates up to 25 A/1200 V with low Miller charge injection. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 0.4 μs - ensures tight timing control in high-frequency PWM inverters (up to 50 kHz). |
| CM Transient Immunity | ±25 kV/μs MIN. - maintains reliable switching during fast dv/dt transients in motor drives and IH systems. |
| Isolation Voltage | 5,000 Vr.m.s. - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial equipment per UL, CSA, SEMKO, and VDE standards. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +110°C - supports deployment in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC−VEE = 10–30 V - compatible with standard 15 V or 24 V isolated gate driver supplies. |
| Creepage Distance | 7 mm MIN. - matches standard DIP-8 creepage for 300 VAC working voltage in pollution degree 2 environments. |
Pinout & Package
PS9506-V-AX uses an 8-pin plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) with 2.54 mm lead pitch and 9.25 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; shield connection is internal and tied to Pin 5 (VEE) in standard operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4 | NC (No Connection) | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND on LED side for noise suppression but must not carry signals. |
| 2 | Anode | LED anode input - requires series resistor to limit IF to 8–12 mA under 1.2–1.8 V VF. |
| 3 | Cathode | LED cathode - connects to GND or logic-low reference on input side. |
| 5 | VEE | Output-side ground reference - ties to emitter of driven IGBT/MOSFET and shields internal circuitry. |
| 6 | VO | Power output terminal - delivers high-current gate drive (0.6 A peak) to IGBT gate with low VOL (≤1.0 V @ 100 mA). |
| 7 | NC (No Connection) | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND on detector side for noise suppression but must not carry signals. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply for output stage - powers internal transistor and sets VO swing range (0 to VCC). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High CMR | ±25 kV/μs minimum - prevents false triggering during high dv/dt switching in 3-phase inverters. |
| Fast Switching | 0.4 μs max propagation delay - enables >100 kHz PWM operation with minimal dead-time uncertainty. |
| Pb-Free Construction | RoHS-compliant Ni/Pd/Au plating - satisfies environmental compliance for global industrial shipments. |
| VDE Certification | DIN EN60747-5-2 (VDE0884 Part2) Option approved - validates reinforced isolation for safety-critical applications. |
| Thermal Robustness | Rated for 110°C ambient - supports operation in sealed cabinets without derating below full output current. |
Applications
| Industrial Inverter | Induction Heating (IH) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLP350(D,F) | Lower peak output current (0.4 A), slower tPLH/tPHL (0.5 μs), no VDE0884 certification. | Suitable for <10 A IGBTs in non-safety-critical consumer inverters; lacks reinforced isolation for industrial mains-connected systems. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs CMR and safety certification needs; verify thermal margin at 110°C ambient. |
| ACPL-332J | Higher CMTI (35 kV/μs), same 0.6 A peak, but SO-6 package limits creepage to 5.5 mm and lacks VDE0884 Option approval. | Better for space-constrained designs with lower isolation voltage requirements (e.g., 300 VAC systems); unsuitable where 8 mm creepage or VDE certification is mandated. | Prefer for compact 25 A IGBT drivers in medical or telecom power supplies where footprint matters more than long-term industrial reliability. |
Compared with TLP350(D,F) and ACPL-332J, PS9506-V-AX uniquely combines VDE0884-reinforced isolation, 7 mm creepage in DIP-8, and guaranteed 0.6 A/0.4 μs performance - making it the only option qualified for DIN EN60747-5-2 Option-certified industrial inverters operating above 600 VDC.

FAQ
What safety certifications apply to PS9506-V-AX?
PS9506-V-AX is certified to UL E72422, CSA CA 101391 (CAN/CSA-C22.2 60065, 60950), SEMKO 1115598, and DIN EN60747-5-2 (VDE0884 Part2) under Option approval No. 40024069. These approvals validate its reinforced isolation for industrial equipment with working voltages up to 300 VAC. The PS9506-V-AX datasheet confirms all test conditions and limits used for certification.
Can PS9506-V-AX drive a 1200 V/25 A IGBT directly?
Yes - PS9506-V-AX delivers 0.6 A peak output current with ≤0.4 μs propagation delay and ±25 kV/μs CMTI, matching the load condition specified in the datasheet (Rg = 47 Ω, Cg = 3 nF, equivalent to 1200 V/25 A IGBT). Its VOH ≥ VCC−4 V and VOL ≤ 1.0 V at 100 mA ensure strong gate overdrive and clean turn-off, minimizing conduction losses in PS9506-V-AX-based drivers.
What is the role of Pins 1, 4, and 7 on PS9506-V-AX?
Pins 1, 4, and 7 are NC (No Connection) terminals on PS9506-V-AX. They are internally unconnected and must not be used for signal routing or bypassing. Per the datasheet, they may be tied to GND on their respective sides (Pins 1/4 to LED-side GND; Pin 7 to detector-side GND) to reduce noise coupling - but never left floating near high-dv/dt traces. PS9506-V-AX functionality remains unaffected if these pins are left open.
How does PS9506-V-AX differ from PS9506-AX?
PS9506-V-AX includes DIN EN60747-5-2 (VDE0884 Part2) Option certification, while PS9506-AX carries only UL, CSA, and SEMKO approvals. Both share identical electrical specs, pinout, and DIP-8 packaging. The "V" suffix denotes VDE qualification - required for European industrial equipment subject to EN 61800-5-1. PS9506-V-AX is functionally interchangeable with PS9506-AX where VDE compliance is not mandated.
What is the maximum recommended forward current for PS9506-V-AX?
The absolute maximum forward current for PS9506-V-AX is 25 mA, but the recommended operating condition is 8–12 mA (IF(ON)) per the datasheet. Operating at 12 mA ensures optimal CTR stability and longevity while delivering full switching speed. Exceeding 12 mA risks accelerated LED degradation and reduced lifetime - especially above 85°C ambient. PS9506-V-AX thermal derating curves confirm 12 mA is sustainable up to 110°C.
