High-Speed Photocoupler withstands extreme temperatures.

Press Release Summary:




Sustaining data rates up to 20 Mbps, Model TLP2768A is suitable for high-speed communication interfaces in factory automation systems, measurement and control equipment, and plasma display panels. Open-collector output allows for both sink and source drive implementations. Supplied in ultra-thin S06L package that maintains creepage/clearance distance up to 8 mm, TLP2768A operates from -40 to 125°C, supports 3.3 and 5.5 V power supplies, and achieves minimum isolation voltage of 5,000 Vrms.



Original Press Release:



Toshiba Debuts New High-Speed Photocoupler



Delivers Creepage and Clearance Distance of 8mm



IRVINE, Calif.,  -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced the launch of a new high-speed photocoupler that offers protection against extreme operating temperatures. The TLP2768A is capable of sustaining data rates up to 20 Mbps([1), making it suitable for use in high-speed communication interfaces in factory automation systems, measurement and control equipment and plasma display panels.



The TLP2768A features an operating temperature range of -40 to 125  C, enabling it to be used in increasingly compact industrial equipment that contains a greater density of components and therefore has higher internal temperatures. An open-collector output allows for both sink and source drive implementations. The TLP2768A supports both 3.3 and 5.5V power supplies, making it compatible with a wide range of existing industrial applications as well as ensuring it meets the needs of new and emerging low-voltage designs.



Toshiba's TLP2768A high-speed photocoupler consists of a high-output GaAAs light-emitting diode coupled with integrated high gain, high-speed photodetectors. It features an inverter-logic output and operates over an extended temperature range while complying with the reinforced isolation class requirements of international safety standards. Housed in Toshiba's ultra-thin S06L package, the TLP2768A offers a maximum height of just 2.3mm, which means a thickness reduction of approximately 45 percent([2), yet achieves a very high minimum isolation voltage rating of 5000Vrms. The S06L package is able to maintain creepage and clearance distances up to 8mm.
