Toshiba TLP2312 / TLP2372 high-speed communications photocouplers

Toshiba's TLP2312 and TLP2372 the industry’s first high-speed communications photocouplers that can operate with a supply voltage as low as 2.2 V. The two devices have typical data transfer rates of 5Mbps (TLP2312) and 20 Mbps (TLP2372) and are specifically designed to operate with low voltage rails, down to 2.2 V.

The new photocouplers are housed in a 5-pin SO-6 package with a maximum height of 2.3 mm, offering a low profile for height-constrained applications and bringing greater freedom for component layout on printed circuit boards.
