Product Description
It combines an infrared emitter with an OPIC output chip in a 14-pin mini-flat, half-pitch (1.27 mm) surface-mount package. The device includes a built-in IGBT short-circuit protection circuit and a direct-drive output stage rated at 0.4 A peak, with a high-speed response of 0.5 us maximum and 4,000 Vrms input-output isolation. Because the input and output stages are optically isolated, the PC929 is used where control logic must be separated from high-voltage power switching, such as motor drives and industrial inverters. The Sharp PC929 is an OPIC photocoupler purpose-built for driving MOS-FET and IGBT gates in inverter circuits.
Basic Product Information
- Built-in direct-drive output stage with 0.4 A peak output current (IO1P / IO2P).
- High-speed response, tPLH / tPHL of 0.5 us maximum.
- 4,000 Vrms input-output isolation voltage.
- 14-pin mini-flat, half-pitch (1.27 mm) surface-mount package; lead-free and RoHS compliant.
- Built-in IGBT short-circuit protection circuit for safer inverter gate drive.
Technical Specifications
Version & Model Difference
The base PC929 is the standard 14-pin mini-flat SMT device. The PC929J00000F series is the lead-free, RoHS-compliant ordering family, and the PC929P / PC929PY designations denote the SMT gullwing lead form, with the PY variant carrying the VDE0884 isolation approval. Match the exact suffix when replacing an existing device, as approval options and lead form differ.
Application Scenarios
- AC motor inverter drive gate control
- Industrial variable-frequency drives (VFD)
- Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
- Welding and induction heating power stages

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PC929 used for?
It drives MOS-FET and IGBT gates in inverter circuits, providing optical isolation between low-voltage control logic and the high-voltage power stage.
Does the PC929 include short-circuit protection?
Yes. It has a built-in IGBT short-circuit protection circuit, which detects an overcurrent condition and feeds back an error (FS) signal to the controller.
What is the isolation voltage and package?
It provides 4,000 Vrms input-output isolation in a 14-pin mini-flat, half-pitch (1.27 mm) surface-mount package.
Is the PC929 still produced?
The PC929 is discontinued by the manufacturer. We supply tested stock and can cross-reference compatible drop-in alternatives on request.
