IC Photocoupler offers high tolerance for noise.
Press Release Summary:
Housed in 4.4 x 3.6 x 2.5 mm MFSOP6 package, 20 MBd Model TLP2066 operates from 3.3 V with common mode transient immunity ratio of 15 kV/µsec and 3,750 Vrms isolation voltage. RoHS-compliant unit features operating temperature of -40 to +100°C, and addresses isolation requirements and switching noise elimination in switching power supplies, instrument I/O, computer peripheral interfaces, high-speed disk drive I/O, and microprocessor system interfaces.
Original Press Release:
Toshiba Expands Optocoupler Lineup with Its First 3.3V, 20MBd IC Photocoupler
New Device Offers Lower Operating Voltage and Higher Tolerance for Noise
IRVINE, Calif., May 14 /-- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., (TAEC)* today announced the company's first 3.3V, 20MegaBaud(1) (MBd) high speed IC photocoupler, the TLP2066, which addresses isolation requirements and switching noise elimination in switching power supplies, instrument I/O, computer peripheral interfaces, high speed disk drive I/O, microprocessor system interfaces, bus drivers for networking applications, and high speed logic systems.
"For demanding isolation requirements, the TLP2066 provides a compelling combination of high-speed switching, low propagation delay, high isolation voltage and high transient immunity," said Jeff Lo, business development manager, Optoelectronics, for TAEC. "In addition, the compact mini-flat SOP6 package and 3.3V supply voltage help differentiate this device from leading competitive solutions."
The new 3.3V device achieves a level of performance similar to the popular Toshiba 5V, 20MBd TLP116 IC photocoupler, at a lower operating voltage. In addition, it features a high tolerance for noise, with a common mode transient immunity ratio (CMR) of 15kV/microseconds, compared to the TLP116's CMR of 10kV/microseconds. See table below for key specifications and a comparison to the TLP116.

The TLP2066 is offered in a compact 5-pin MFSOP6 package, measuring only 4.4mm x 3.6mm x 2.5mm, which is ideal for space constrained applications. The new optocoupler also features a wide operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +100 degrees C, and is compatible with the Lead-Free(2) reflow solder process and RoHS-Compatible(3) requirements.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at $1.50/each, samples of the 3.3V, 20MBd TLP2066 are available now, joining existing 5V products in the Toshiba high-speed IC photocoupler family, which range in switching speed from 1MBd to 20MBd. Mass production is targeted to begin in July 2007.
