Toshiba introduces smart grid driven optocoupler with 2.5A output current

     Toshiba Electronic Components and Storage Devices Co., Ltd. introduced a smart grid driven IC optocoupler TLP5212 with an output current of 2.5A. In applications such as inverters using medium capacity IGBTs or power MOSFETs, this product can prevent power devices from being affected by overcurrent.

     In order to meet the general specification requirements in industrial equipment and other applications, this new product changes the output type of the existing product . In addition, the product also has IGBT desaturation detection, active Miller clamping, fault output and other protection functions, which can reduce external circuits. This helps reduce the system cost of fault detection and protection operations. In addition, by integrating Toshiba's own highly reliable and high-power infrared LED, this product can be used in various applications, including domestic photovoltaic power generation systems and industrial equipment such as UPS for harsh thermal environment.

     The propagation delay time and propagation delay deviation of this product are specified at the rated operating temperature (Ta=- 40 ° C to 110 ° C), which makes the design easier. This product adopts SO16L thin package with a maximum height of 2.3mm, which helps to improve the layout freedom of parts on the system board. In addition, the minimum creepage distance of the product is 8mm, which is suitable for applications requiring high insulation performance.
