TLP372(F)

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The TLP372(F) is a transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It integrates a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode with a Darlington-connected phototransistor featuring an integrated base-emitter resistor to optimize switching speed and elevated temperature characteristics. The device utilizes a six-lead plastic DIP package. Key electrical parameters include a minimum current transfer ratio of 1000% at an input current of 1mA, a minimum isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms, and a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 300V. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (F) against official Toshiba documentation to confirm pin configuration and packaging variations. Ensure compliance with UL1577 recognition file E67349 if safety isolation is required. Confirm RoHS status and environmental compliance through the latest datasheet revision. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor listings to avoid obsolete or counterfeit components.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when high gain and robust isolation are required in noisy environments. The absence of an internal base connection makes it suitable for applications demanding high immunity to electromagnetic interference. Consider the DIP-6 package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 1000% CTR requirement against the driving circuit capabilities to ensure proper saturation.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

The TLP372 belongs to Toshiba's family of transistor output optocouplers. It shares architectural similarities with the TLP371 but differs in internal base connectivity. This series is designed for general-purpose isolation tasks where high reliability and standard DIP packaging are preferred over surface-mount solutions.
