Digital Output Module

In signal communication within the output module, the external signal line must be isolated from the body. Optical-coupled photocouplers provide simple and reliable isolation. A transistor output photocoupler or an IC output photocoupler which has high-speed communication capability is recommended. In addition, it is essential to observe the safety standards established in each country. Toshiba Photocouplers have been approved by UL1577, VDE:EN60747-5-5, EN62368-1, and other organizations. The output stage also contributes to lower power dissipation through MOSFET of low on-resistance and higher output through the use of transistor arrays with high withstand voltage and large current.

Toshiba's portfolio of isolators/solid state relays includes photocouplers, solid-state relays and fiber-optic transmission modules. Toshiba's photocouplers help improve the safety, cut the power consumption and reduce the size of end products.

Toshiba was first in the world to release one-gate logic ICs. As a pioneer in the industry, we will expand the lineup of various products, such as small, thin and low-voltage-operation products.

Toshiba has used each successive generation of trench-gate structures and fabrication processes to steadily reduce the drain-source on-resistance, R_DS(ON), of its low-voltage power MOSFETs.

High-efficiency and large-current drive is achieved by changing from bipolar transistor type to DMOS FET type.
