‘Photocoupler’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Ultra-compact photocoupler to address MOSFET needs from Toshiba Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Toshiba Electronics has announced the TLP2451, a photocoupler designed for inverters, induction heating designs and other devices requiring safety isolation and operation at high ambient temperatures.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Photocoupler enables 20Mbps data transmission from Toshiba Electronics: "Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced an ultra-compact photocoupler for high-speed communication interfaces. ".
In May 2010, we covered the news from Toshiba Electronics - take a look at Devices provide ultra-low-profile board mounting which says: "Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has released two photocoupler devices that offer ultra-low-profile board mounting in applications requiring isolated switching to international safety standards. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Toshiba Electronics Europe, Toshiba launches miniature photocouplers, as well as Toshiba develops miniature photocoupler from Toshiba Electronics Europe, and Faster photocoupler finds new applications from Toshiba Electronics Europe.
