Product details
Overview
TLP118(TPL,E) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a high-speed, high-CMTI photocoupler with integrated IRED and photo-IC output stage, designed for isolated digital signal transmission in industrial control interfaces. It features open-collector logic inversion, ±15 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity, 60 ns max propagation delay, and operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature - enabling reliable use in plasma display panel (PDP) drive circuits and factory automation I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the TLP118(TPL,E) datasheet, TLP118(TPL,E) pinout, TLP118(TPL,E) application, or TLP118(TPL,E) equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed CMTI performance at high temperature, SO6 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts, input threshold current ≤5.0 mA, and UL/cUL/VDE safety certifications for reinforced insulation in measurement instrument interfaces.
Technical Context
The TLP118(TPL,E) integrates a GaAs infrared LED coupled to a high-gain, high-speed photodetector IC with internal Faraday shield - enabling guaranteed ±15 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity. Its open-collector output stage requires external pull-up and supports logic-level inversion with VOL ≤0.6 V at IO = 13 mA.
It operates from 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivers 60 ns max tpHL/tpLH over full temperature range, and meets reinforced isolation requirements per UL 1577 (3750 Vrms), EN 60747-5-5, and GB4943.1 - validated under two-terminal configuration (pins 1+3 shorted; pins 4+5+6 shorted).
Key Specifications

| 4 (GND) | Detector Ground | Reference for output stage; tied to VCC bypass capacitor (0.1 μF ceramic, ≤1 cm trace) |
| 5 (VO) | Output Collector | Open-collector NPN output; sinks up to 25 mA; requires external pull-up to VCC or logic rail |
| 6 (VCC) | Detector Supply | Positive supply for photo-IC; must be decoupled to Pin 4 with 0.1 μF capacitor for stable high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverter logic output | Active-low open-collector interface simplifies level-shifting between isolated 5 V domains and microcontroller GPIOs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed photocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACPL-K37T | Higher CMTI (25 kV/μs), wider VCC range (3–5.5 V), but SO5 package (no GND pin); no internal Faraday shield specified | Preferred for ultra-noisy switch-mode power supplies; less suitable for PDP sustain where SO6 mechanical stability matters | Select when CMTI >20 kV/μs is mandatory and board layout permits SO5 footprint change |
| PS9031 | CMOS output (push-pull), 30 ns max tpHL/tpLH, 5000 Vrms isolation, but rated only to +110°C; no UL recognition | Better for high-speed serial links (e.g., isolated UART), not certified for safety-critical industrial mains interfaces | Choose for speed-critical non-safety applications where temperature does not exceed 110°C and regulatory approval is secondary |
Compared with ACPL-K37T and PS9031, the TLP118(TPL,E) uniquely balances 125°C operation, UL/VDE safety certification, SO6 mechanical robustness, and guaranteed ±15 kV/μs CMTI - making it the only option qualified for PDP sustain and certified factory automation I/O without design revalidation.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for the TLP118(TPL,E)?
The TLP118(TPL,E) is fully specified and guaranteed to operate across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This rating is validated per Recommended Operating Conditions and Absolute Maximum Ratings tables, with electrical characteristics including propagation delay and output voltage tested across this full range. The device maintains ±15 kV/μs CMTI and logic inversion function without derating up to +125°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive sensors and sealed industrial enclosures where thermal management is constrained. All thermal derating curves (e.g., IF, PO) are published in the datasheet for precise system-level design.
Does the TLP118(TPL,E) require an external bypass capacitor, and if so, what are the requirements?
Yes, the TLP118(TPL,E) requires a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor connected directly between Pin 6 (VCC) and Pin 4 (GND), with total lead length ≤1 cm. This is explicitly mandated in the Switching Characteristics section to stabilize the high-gain linear amplifier in the photodetector and prevent impaired switching behavior - including increased propagation delay, overshoot, or false triggering. Failure to install this capacitor violates the recommended operating conditions and invalidates the 60 ns max tpHL/tpLH specification. The capacitor must be placed adjacent to the SO6 package, not on the power rail elsewhere on the board.
What safety certifications does the TLP118(TPL,E) hold, and how are they applied?
The TLP118(TPL,E) holds UL 1577 (File No. E67349), cUL CSA Component Acceptance (File No. E67349), VDE EN 60747-5-5 and EN 62368-1 (with Option V4), and CQC GB4943.1/GB8898. These certifications apply to the device configured as a two-terminal isolator: Pins 1 and 3 shorted (input side), and Pins 4, 5, and 6 shorted (output side), achieving 3750 Vrms isolation. The certifications cover reinforced insulation for end-equipment safety - allowing direct use in Class I/II appliances, industrial controls, and medical auxiliary devices without additional creepage/clearance barriers, provided PCB layout adheres to the 5.0 mm minimum distances specified.
Can the TLP118(TPL,E) be used as a direct replacement for optocouplers with different pinouts, such as the PC817?
No, the TLP118(TPL,E) is not a pin-compatible replacement for PC817 or other 4-pin DIP optocouplers. It uses a 6-pin SO6 package with dedicated GND (Pin 4), VO (Pin 5), and VCC (Pin 6) - unlike PC817's 4-pin configuration with collector/emitter outputs. Its open-collector inverter logic also differs from PC817's phototransistor output. Substituting the TLP118(TPL,E) requires PCB layout revision, updated decoupling (0.1 μF capacitor), and logic-level verification due to its active-low output behavior. No documented drop-in replacement exists; redesign is necessary to leverage its CMTI and temperature advantages.
What is the meaning of "(TPL,E" in the full part number TLP118(TPL,E?
The suffix "(TPL,E" in TLP118(TPL,E denotes embossed-tape packaging in L-direction orientation (TPL) with RoHS-compliant plating (E). Per Toshiba's packing specification, TPL indicates 3000 pcs per reel, carrier tape width 8.0 mm, and device orientation aligned with tape feed direction. The "E" suffix confirms lead-free termination and compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This packaging format is optimized for high-volume SMT assembly using standard pick-and-place machines. The full orderable part number must include this suffix to ensure correct tape configuration and environmental compliance - bare die or tray versions are not available for this variant.
