KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has expanded its line-up of smart gate driver photocouplers, the isolated gate driver with overcurrent protection for a power device, either a MOSFET or IGBT.

According to a statement, the new device, ‘TLP5222’,  a 2.5A output smart gate driver photocoupler, has a built-in automatic recovery function from protective operation.

TLP5222 constantly monitors the drain-source voltage (VDS) or collector-emitter voltage (VCE) of the power device that it drives.

Built-in overcurrent detection and a protective function detect any rise in VDS or VCE, the result of overcurrent generated in the power device, and gently turn it off.

Housed in an SO16L package that ensures creepage and clearance distances of 8mm (min), TLP5222 can also be used in equipment requiring high insulation performance.

In addition, with its wide rated operating temperature range of between -40°C and 110°C, it is suitable for various applications in harsh thermal environments such as photovoltaic power generation systems and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs).

The line-up also includes TLP5212, TLP5214A and TLP5214, which do not have a built-in automatic recovery function but reset to their normal operation by a signal input to their LED, allowing users to select the right products for use conditions.

Toshiba, 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.
