New IC Photocoupler in 6-Pin SDIP Package Meets Requirements for Insulation Requirements of International Safety Standards
The TLP700, housed in a 6-pin SDIP (Shrink Dual Inline Package), is capable of reducing the surface mounting area by approximately 50 percent compared to a photocoupler in an 8-pin DIP (Dual Inline Package) while achieving equivalent isolation characteristics. Optimally suited for direct gate driving of low power IGBTs or power MOSFETs, the new IC photocoupler is targeted for a wide range of applications, such as factory automation (FA) equipment, robots, general-purpose inverters, inverter air conditioners, AC servo motor control and IGBT/MOSFET drives.
Developed by Toshiba Corp. (Toshiba), the TLP700 is the latest in a family of IGBT/MOSFET driver photocouplers that include the TLP250, TPL251, TPL350 and TPL351. Each of the four earlier devices are offered in 8-pin DIP. The TLP700 is functionally equivalent to the existing Toshiba TLP350 photocoupler, in a smaller package, and meets insulation requirements for UL and EN60747-5-2 international safety standards (1).
"TLP700 is intended to meet application requirements for IGBT and power MOSFET drivers in which low power consumption and high isolation voltage, for safety concerns, are important factors," said Jay Heinecke, business development director, Discrete Business Unit, for TAEC.
The new photocoupler consists of an integrated photodetector optically coupled to a gallium-aluminum-arsenide light-emitting diode in 6-pin SDIP package that measure only 6.8mm x 7.62mm x 3.65mm high. The standard 7.62-mm pitch type TLP700 features 7.0 mm (min.) creepage distance and clearance. The performance is guaranteed over operating temperature (T(opr)) from -40 degrees C to 100 degrees C.
