Photocoupler Suits Extreme Ambient Temperatures
Comprising a GaAlAs LED that is optically coupled to an integrated, high-gain, high-speed photodetector, the TLP708 is supplied in a six-pin SDIP (shrink DIP) package requiring just half the board mounting area of an equivalent eight-pin DIP device. Despite its small size, the photocoupler has a minimum isolation voltage rating of 5,000Vrms. Toshiba's new photocoupler operates with a maximum switching time of just 75ns, allowing it to support typical data-transfer rates of 15Mbit/s.
The integrated photodetector has an open-collector output stage and an internal Faraday shield that provides a guaranteed common-mode transient immunity of +/-15kV/us. The TLP708 has dimensions of just 9.7 x 4.6 x 4.0mm. Toshiba also offers a version with extended creepage and clearance distances, which has a board mounting footprint of 11.7 x 4.6mm.
