Toshiba makes optical isolation selection quick and easy with new guide.

Product Guide simplifies identification of most suitable photocouplers and photorelays for applications that demand galvanic isolation

As well as technical data for each product, the new guide incorporates a ‘product tree’ that allows engineers to quickly narrow down their choice to a few key components. A new product section introduces the latest additions to the range, while information on topics ranging from packaging to board assembly considerations helps to further simplify design and implementation.
Products in Toshiba’s photocoupler portfolio are based on the optical coupling of either GaAs or GaAlAs infrared LEDs with a silicon photodetector. The range, which includes ultra-compact and high-temperature options, covers photocouplers for logic signal transmission, products for driving gates of that can replace conventional mechanical relays.
