Toshiba Announces Low Profile, Reinforced Insulation Photocouplers
Surface Mount Optocouplers in Thinner SO6 Package Meet UL Safety Standard Requirements
IRVINE, Calif., March 3 -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, announced two photocouplers housed in low profile SO6 packages that are 18 percent (0.5mm) thinner than the mini-flat SOP6 package (MFSOP6), yet maintain high isolation voltage and meet UL international safety standards(1). The two new devices, developed by Toshiba Corp. (Toshiba), are the TLP109, a 30V (max.), 1Mbps general-purpose photocoupler with open-collector output, and the TLP116A, a 6V (max), 20 Mbps device with high-speed totem-pole output.
"The SO6 package used for the new devices is pin compatible with the widely used MFSOP6 package, while enabling use in low-profile applications," said Talayeh Saderi, business development engineer for the optoelectronics group at TAEC. "Packaging features that help meet international safety standard requirements include isolation voltage of 3750 V(rms) (min.), clearance and creepage distances of 5mm (min.), with internal insulation of 0.4 mm minimum thickness."
The 1 Mbps TLP109 is Transistor-transistor logic (TTL) compatible and targeted for applications such as digital logic isolation, line receivers, power supply feedback control, switching power supplies and transistor inverters. It features fast switching with propagation delay of 0.8 microsecond (max.), with a common mode transient immunity ratio (CMR) of +10kV/microsecond (typ.).
The 20 Mbps TLP116A is targeted for applications such as plasma display panels, high-speed interfaces and factory automation. It features inverter logic with propagation delay times of 60 nanoseconds (max.), and CMR of +10kV/microsecond (min.).
