Toshiba launches high-voltage transistor output automotive photocoupler

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (‘Toshiba’) has launched a high voltage transistor output automotive photocoupler, TLX9188, for isolated signal communication in automotive equipment, including electric mobility vehicles. Volume shipments begin today.

TLX9188’s high voltage photo transistor delivers a collector-emitter voltage rating of 200V, 2.5 times higher than Toshiba’s current TLX9185A, a first for the company.

By specifying maximum values for switching characteristics (turn-on time, turn-off time), the new photocoupler can be used as a unidirectional switch.

It can also be used in feedback circuits of analog signals in 100V to 200V equipment, helping to reduce the cost of application circuits, based on a statement.

Applications of the automotive equipment comprises battery management systems: voltage monitoring, mechanical relay sticking detection, ground fault detection, etc., as well as feedback of analog signals, etc.

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation, a leading supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, draws on over half a century of experience and innovation to offer customers and business partners outstanding discrete semiconductors, system LSIs and HDD products.
