TOKYO - Tuesday, January 8th 2013

Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it will launch a DIP8-package IC coupler that can directly drive a middle-capacity IGBT or power MOSFET. The new product, TLP250H, offers a maximum propagation delay time of 500ns and a propagation delay skew between photocouplers of 150ns, a performance that will reduce dead time and improve efficiency in inverter circuits. The use of a new LED with superior longevity supports a wide operating temperature range, between -40°C and 125°C. In addition, the coupler contributes to lower power consumption by reducing the operating voltage to 10V (min.) against 15V (min.) for Toshiba's previous model. It can be used in a wide range of products, including industrial devices used in high temperature environments, home solar photovolta ... Read more »
