Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its range of extended temperature IC photocouplers with the addition of three new high-speed, low-power devices. They are all available in miniature SO6 packaging. Typical data transfer rates are up to 20Mbit/s and they are guaranteed for operation at temperatures from -40 to 125ºC. The TLP2362, TLP2366 and TLP2368 logic IC couplers can be used for high-speed communication interfaces in factory automation applications, industrial control systems, and measurement equipment. They have single inverter logic outputs and allow designers to comply with reinforced insulation requirements in accordance with EN60747-5-2 and other international safety standards. Support for power supply voltages of between 2.7 and 5.5V ensures compatibility with existing and new designs and provides a migration path to lower voltage operation. Both the 10Mbit/s TLP2362 and the 20Mbit/s TLP2368 have open collector outputs; the 20Mbit/s TLP2366 has a totem-pole output, which enables both sink and source drives. Minimum isolation voltage for all three products is 3750Vrms and each is guaranteed for creepage and clearance distances in excess of 5mm.
