Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched the TLX9920 photovoltaic-output photocoupler, designed for solid state relays used in automotive equipment. Volume shipments begin today. This photocoupler is suitable for gate driving high-voltage power MOSFETs, facilitating high-voltage and high-current switching while eliminating contact wear associated with mechanical relays.

The TLX9920, housed in an SO6L package, features a creepage distance of over 8mm and complies with AEC-Q101 standards. It meets IEC 60664-12 requirements for environments with pollution degree 2 and operating voltages of 400V or more.
