Optocoupler offers lower operating voltage

Offering high-speed switching, low propagation delay, high isolation voltage and high transient immunity, the TLP2066 device achieves a level of performance similar to Toshiba's 5-V, 20 MBd TLP116 IC photocoupler, at a lower operating voltage. In addition, it features a high tolerance for noise with a common mode transient immunity ratio (CMR) of 15 kV/μs, compared to theTLP116's CMR of 10 kV/μs.

Other key specifications include:

• Input current logic low output: 5 mA
• Output current (max.): 10 mA
• Propagation delay (max.): 60 ns
• Supply current (max.): 5 mA
• Isolation voltage (min.): 3750 Vrms

The TLP2066 is offered in a compact 5-pin MFSOP6 package, measuring 4.4 x 3.6 x 2.5 mm, which is suitable for space-constrained applications. The optocoupler also features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C, and is compatible with the lead-free reflow solder process and meets RoHS-compatible requirements.

Pricing: $1.50 each.
Availability: Samples of the 3.3-V, 20 MBd TLP2066 are available now. Mass production is targeted to start in July 2007.
