Toshiba - Extended temperature, high-speed logic gate IC coupler in S08 package

The new TLP2418 photocoupler is ideal for industrial application and other designs that require a combination of high data speeds, isolation and consistent operation across extended temperatures. Target applications include high-speed digital communication interfaces for factory automation (FA) systems, measurement and control.

Supplied in an S08 package measuring just 6.0mm x 5.1mm x 2.6mm, the TLP2418 is a low-power device designed for a maximum current consumption of no more than 5mA. The photocoupler operates from a supply voltage of between 4.5V and 5.5V, features an open-collector inverter logic output and can deliver a peak output current of 25mA.

Toshiba’s new photocoupler is built around a GaAlAs infrared LED that is optically coupled to a high-gain, high-speed photodetector. Minimum isolation voltage is rated at 3750Vrms, while the photodetector’s internal Faraday shield provides a guaranteed common-mode transient immunity of +/-15kV/µs.
