TLP2363 - Compact 10Mbps High-Speed Logic Output Photocoupler for PLC Digital Interface

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has introduced TLP2363 a 10Mbps high-speed communication logic output photocoupler for 24V digital input interfaces of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The new photocoupler’s specifications include both the minimum and maximum values of its threshold input current at its operating temperature range (-40 to 105℃). The use of the photocoupler in combination with appropriate resistors for current control realizes a 24V digital input module that follows IEC 61131-2 Type 1 specifications.

Features of TLP2363 Photocoupler

• The minimum value of threshold input current: IFHL=0.3mA (min)
• The maximum value of threshold input current: IFHL=2.4mA (max)
• Wide operating temperature range: Topr = -40 to 105℃
• Output Current : 25mA
• Data transfer rate: 10Mbps (typ.)
• High immunity to a slow input (maximum 60s)
• Operable for 3.3V / 5V supply voltage systems

Note: Complete Technical details of the TLP2363 can be found in the datasheet attached at the bottom of this page.

TLP2363 can suppress the chattering noise so that its output is clearly either high or low, even with a slow input signal with a long (60s or less) rise or fall time. This helps in eliminating the need for a waveform shaping circuit in the output port, which eventually reduces the requirement of additional components. The photocoupler is available in a thin 5pin SO6 package with a maximum height of 2.3mm. The slim shape provides a lot of freedom to other component layouts on printed circuit boards. The photocoupler will be a perfect fit for High-speed digital interfaces (PLCs, measuring equipment and control equipment, etc).
