Toshiba has introduced a pair of fast opto-couplers that will work from 2.2V, allowing them to work from the 2.5V rail of LVCMOS, for example, as well as up to 5.5V.

Typical 3.3V data rates are:

• TLP2312 5Mbit/s
• TLP2372 20Mbit/s

The threshold input current of 1.6mAmax and the supply current of 0.5mAmax at entire operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C enables TLP2312 to be driven from a microcontroller directly,” said the company.

They come in 3.7 x 7nn (inc leads) 5pin SO6 packages with a maximum height of 2.3mm.

The detector sides have totem-pole outputs with current sourcing and sinking capabilities.

Inside is a Faraday shield that provides guaranteed common-mode transient immunity of ±20kV/µs.

Pulse width distortion in either device is 20ns max.

Input to output isolation is to 3,750Vrms (min).
