Toshiba Launches a High Speed, Dual Polarity Input Photocoupler for Servo Motors and PLCs
Works with both plus and minus LED currents
TOKYO--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it has launched "TLP2391", a high-speed photocoupler for servo motors and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) which works with both plus and minus LED currents. Mass production is scheduled to start in December.
PLC applications accept one of two different polarity inputs: sink logic input and source logic input. The "TLP2391" supports both sink and source logic by combining two LEDs in inverse parallel, eliminating the need for a bridge circuit. The product supports 10Mbps high speed communications, twice as fast as other Toshiba dual input photocouplers1 allowing use in communications interfaces in industrial applications. The IC's 2.3mA low input current drive (@ VCC = 3.3V) and 1mA low supply current contribute to energy efficiency.
Applications
Programmable logic controllers (PLC), servo motors, and industrial automation equipment
Key Features of New Product
• Operating temperature: Topr = -40 to 125°C
• Supply voltage: VCC = 2.7 to 5.5V
• Supply current: ICC = 1mA
• Threshold input current:
IFHL = 2.3mA (VCC = 3.3V)
IFHL = 2.5mA (VCC = 5.0V)
• Propagation delay time: tpHL / tpLH = 100ns (max)
• Pulse width distortion: |tpHL-tpLH| = 30ns (max)
• Propagation delay skew: tpsk = 40ns (max)
Note:
[1]: Comparison with 5Mbps speed of Toshiba dual input photocouplers, "TLP2395" and "TLP2398".

BitFlow Introduces 6th Generation Camera Link Frame Grabber: The Axion
BitFlow has offered a Camera Link frame grabbers for almost 15 years. This latest offering, our 6th generation combines the power of CoaXPress with the requirements of Camera Link 2.0. Enabling a single or two camera system to operate at up to 850 MB/S per camera, the Axion-CL family is the best choice for CL frame grabber. Like the Cyton-CXP frame grabber, the Axion-CL leverages features such as the new StreamSync system, a highly optimized DMA engine, and expanded I/O capabilities that provide unprecedented flexibility in routing. There are two options available; Axion 1xE & Axion 2xE.
The Axion 1xE is compatible with one base, medium, full or 80-bit camera offering PoCL, Power over Camera Link, on both connectors. The Axion 2xE is compatible with two base, medium, full or 80-bit cameras offering PoCL on both connectors for both cameras.
The Axion-CL is a culmination of the continuous improvements and updates BitFlow has made to Camera Link frame grabbers.
