The TLP116A is a photocoupler produced by Toshiba. It uses GaAℓAs light-emitting diodes and integrated high gain, high-speed photodetectors, suitable for surface mounting. The unit is housed in the 6-pin SO package and guarantees a creepage distance of ≥ 5.0mm, a clearance of ≥ 5.0mm and an insulation thickness of ≥ 0.4mm. Therefore, the TLP116A meets the reinforced insulation class requirements of international safety standards.
The TLP116A is a mini‑flat, surface‑mount optocoupler that combines a GaAs light‑emitting diode with a high‑gain photodetector. It is supplied in a 6‑pin SO package and meets reinforced insulation class requirements (creepage 5 mm, clearance 5 mm, insulation 0.4 mm).
Key electrical characteristics include a supply voltage range of 4.5‑5.5 V, typical forward voltage of about 1.58 V at 10 mA, propagation delay up to 60 ns, isolation voltage of 3750 Vrms, and a typical switching speed of 20 MBd. The datasheet also provides absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, isolation and switching specifications, as well as packaging details for tape‑and‑reel shipment.
