Toshiba Adds Triac Output Photocouplers with Reinforced Insulation to Meet International Safety Standards
Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC) has announced the addition of the 600V TLP265J and TLP266J to its lineup of photo triac couplers. They are targeted for applications such as triac drivers, programmable controllers, ac-output modules, and solid-state relays. The TLP265J consists of a non-zero crossing photo triac, and the TLP266J consists of a zero crossing photo triac, and both are optically coupled to a gallium-arsenide infrared emitting diode.

Using a SO6 double-mold package, the TLP265J and TLP266J achieve reinforced insulation at an isolation voltage of 3,750Vrms (ac, 1 minute). Having obtained the UL, cUL, and VDE approvals for creepage distance and clearing distance (5mm, minimum), the TLP265J and TLP266J meet the reinforced insulation class requirements of international safety standards.
In terms of electrical characteristics, the new triac couplers support up to 7 mA of trigger LED current, which allows for output control at a lower input current - thus contributing to lower power consumption. Support of reflow mounting in accordance with JEDEC standards makes the TLP265J and TLP266J easy to use, and long-life LEDs increase design flexibility.

Features of the TLP265J and TLP266J include: Reinforced insulation, support of mounting in accordance with the JEDEC standard, IFT7; UL, cUL and VDE approvals; Peak off-state voltage: 600V (min); Trigger LED current: 10 mA (max); IFT7 version: 7 mA (max); And on-state current: 70 mA (max).
Toshiba's new triac output photocouplers are available now. Budgetary pricing begins at $0.38, with volume discounts available.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
