Toshiba Photocouplers for Polyfunctional Robots
Toshiba Photocouplers for high-speed communications applications that supports slow input and power supply slow startup without Schmitt triggers.

Photocouplers are devices that use electrical insulation as an important function. Light-emitting element and light-receiving element are packaged through light-transmissive insulators. Photocouplers for high-speed communications are ideal for Factory Automation (FA) applications for automation of production processes and for improving and optimizing labor costs and productivity at production sites. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) has a particularly important role in FA and are used to control devices and facilities.
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has four (TLP2362B, TLP2368B, TLP2762B, TLP2768B) photocouplers for high-speed communications that can operate normally even when the rise time and fall time are slow (slow input below 60 s) at the light-emitting side (primary side) input current and the light-receiving side (secondary side) power supply voltage.
Features
- Slow input on the light-emitting side and slow start of the power supply on the light-receiving side
- High-speed data transmission rate
- High operating temperature rating
Application
- Factory Automation (FA) control device (programmable logic controller, etc.)
- I/O Modules for FA robots
- Measuring instruments
