Uniquely for this type of device, all that is required to complete the design is a bridge diode and a suitable resistor for current control. The short propagation delay of just 80ns is suitable for use with high speed systems.
The photocoupler delivers a clear ‘high’ or ‘low’ on the output by suppressing chatter noise, even with a slow-moving input signal of 60s or less with a long rising or falling edge. As a result, there is no need for any waveform shaping circuitry, reducing the number of components that saves PCB area and cost.
Despite being housed in a small and thin 5-pin SO6 package with a max. height of 2.3mm, the device offers a minimum isolation voltage of 3750Vrms. The common footprint allows designers to replace products from other manufacturers, allowing them to take advantage of the improved specification of the Toshiba TLP2363.
