It consists of a GaAlAs light-emitting diode (LED) optically coupled to an integrated high-gain, high-speed photodetector, providing both exceptional galvanic isolation and a powerful output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at Tomson Electronics, the TLP350 is housed in a standard 8-pin Dual Inline Package (DIP). Unlike standard signal optocouplers, this IC features a robust push-pull output capable of sourcing and sinking up to 2.5A of peak current. This makes it an essential component for hardware engineers building heavy-duty motor controllers, solar inverters, and high-frequency induction heating systems where driving high-capacitance power switches rapidly and safely is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeople also search for:\u003c\/strong\u003e tlp350 optocoupler, toshiba gate driver ic, igbt driver optocoupler, dip-8 mosfet driver, tlp350 ic, high current optoisolator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toshiba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e TLP350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-Pin DIP (Through-hole)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak Output Current (Io):\u003c\/strong\u003e ±2.5A (Maximum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Supply Voltage (Vcc):\u003c\/strong\u003e 15V to 30V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsolation Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3750 Vrms (Minimum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation Delay Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 ns (Maximum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Forward Current (If):\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 mA (Maximum recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/files\/TLP350.pdf?v=1784891819\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDownload TLP350 (Toshiba) Datasheet PDF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eApplications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial Motor Drives:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acting as the safe, isolated interface between low-voltage logic controllers and high-voltage AC or Brushless DC (BLDC) motor inverters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolar \u0026amp; Wind Inverters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Driving the high-side and low-side IGBTs in grid-tied or off-grid power conversion equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInduction Heating (IH):\u003c\/strong\u003e Providing the rapid, high-current gate charging required for fast-switching resonance circuits in induction cooktops and industrial heaters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS):\u003c\/strong\u003e Managing the heavy-duty power switching stages required for reliable battery backup systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What makes the TLP350 different from a standard PC817 optocoupler?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A standard optocoupler like the PC817 is designed for low-level signal isolation and can only handle tiny amounts of current (usually under 50mA). The TLP350 features a specialized push-pull output stage capable of handling high-current surges up to 2.5A, which is necessary to overcome the gate capacitance and quickly turn on\/off large power MOSFETs and IGBTs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I control this driver directly from an Arduino or ESP32?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, you can drive the input LED side of the TLP350 using a 3.3V or 5V logic signal from a microcontroller (make sure to use an appropriate current-limiting series resistor). However, the output side of the TLP350 requires its own separate power supply (typically 15V to 30V) to properly drive the gate of your power transistor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this IC have built-in desaturation (short circuit) protection?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, the TLP350 is a pure gate driver optocoupler. If you require advanced features like integrated active miller clamping or desaturation detection for high-end IGBT protection, you would need a more complex driver IC, though the TLP350 remains a highly reliable choice for standard gate drive applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × TLP350 IGBT\/MOSFET Gate Drive Optocoupler (Toshiba) – 8-Pin DIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Toshiba","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48382802034926,"sku":"INC-01445","price":58.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/files\/ICOPTOTLP350TOSHIBA.jpg?v=1784892219","url":"https:\/\/www.tomsonelectronics.com\/products\/tlp350-igbt-mosfet-gate-drive-optocoupler-8-pin-dip","provider":"Tomson Electronics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
