Product details
Overview
TLP2391(TPL,E from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a high-speed, logic-output photocoupler with dual reverse-parallel infrared LEDs and a totem-pole photo IC output stage. It delivers 10 Mbps data transfer rate, ±20 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, and operates across -40°C to +125°C - enabling robust digital isolation in industrial PLC I/O modules and inverter gate drive interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TLP2391(TPL,E datasheet, TLP2391(TPL,E pinout, TLP2391(TPL,E application, or TLP2391(TPL,E equivalent, this device serves as a low-power (1 mA max supply current), bidirectional-input isolator optimized for high-noise factory-floor signal conditioning where guaranteed 3750 Vrms isolation and sub-100 ns propagation delay are critical.
Technical Context
The TLP2391(TPL,E integrates two antiparallel GaAs infrared LEDs coupled to a monolithic silicon photodetector with internal Faraday shielding. Its totem-pole output supports both sourcing and sinking without external pull-ups, while the dual-LED configuration enables compatibility with sinking and sourcing input circuits without polarity-dependent wiring.
It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, features guaranteed low threshold input current (2.5 mA max at 5 V), and maintains stable switching performance across its full -40°C to +125°C operating range - validated by pulse width distortion ≤30 ns and propagation delay skew ≤40 ns between units.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | 10 Mbps typical - supports high-speed serial communication (e.g., RS-485, SPI isolation) without timing bottlenecks |
| Propagation delay | 100 ns maximum - ensures deterministic timing in real-time control loops and fast-switching inverters |
| Common-mode transient immunity | ±20 kV/µs minimum - suppresses noise coupling in motor drives and high-di/dt industrial environments |
| Isolation voltage | 3750 Vrms minimum - meets reinforced insulation requirements for IEC 61800-5-1 and UL 1577 safety compliance |
| Supply current | 1 mA maximum - reduces power budget in battery-backed or energy-constrained isolated I/O designs |
| Input threshold current | 2.5 mA maximum at VCC = 5 V - compatible with standard microcontroller GPIOs and logic-level drivers without external amplification |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive auxiliary systems and industrial motor control cabinets |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO6 (TOSHIBA designation 11-4L1S), surface-mount, 6-pin small-outline package with 1.27 mm pitch and 0.08 g typical weight.

| 4 | GND | Detector ground reference; must be connected to 0.1 µF bypass capacitor with pin 6 (VCC) per layout guidelines |
| 5 | VO (Output) | Totem-pole logic output - actively drives high or low; no external pull-up required for CMOS-compatible interfacing |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply for detector (2.7–5.5 V); requires local decoupling to stabilize high-gain amplifier operation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed logic-output photocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACPL-K37T | Higher supply current (2.5 mA max), slower propagation delay (150 ns max), same SO6 package | Targeted at lower-speed industrial I/O where CMTI >15 kV/µs suffices | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for sub-100 ns timing or ultra-low power |
| SI8710BD-A-IS | Digital CMOS isolator (capacitive coupling), 15 Mbps, 30 ns propagation delay, wider supply (2.5–5.5 V) | Not optically isolated; lacks inherent galvanic barrier for safety-critical fault containment | Prefer only in non-safety applications requiring higher speed and lower power; not drop-in replacement due to different isolation mechanism |
Compared with ACPL-K37T and SI8710BD-A-IS, the TLP2391(TPL,E offers best-in-class balance of speed (10 Mbps), ultra-low supply current (1 mA), and certified optical isolation - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally sensitive, and safety-compliant industrial control designs.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the TLP2391(TPL,E?
The TLP2391(TPL,E has a minimum isolation voltage rating of 3750 Vrms (AC, 60 seconds, RH ≤ 60%). This value is verified per UL 1577 and EN IEC 60747-5-5 standards (with V4 option), supporting reinforced insulation in industrial equipment meeting IEC 61800-5-1 requirements. The TLP2391(TPL,E achieves this via internal molding compound and precise creepage/clearance distances of ≥5.0 mm.
Does the TLP2391(TPL,E support bidirectional input signals?
Yes - the TLP2391(TPL,E integrates two infrared LEDs connected in reverse-parallel between pins 1 and 3. This allows it to respond identically to both sourcing and sinking input configurations without external diodes or polarity selection circuitry. The TLP2391(TPL,E thus simplifies PLC I/O module design by eliminating wiring dependency on field device output type.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the TLP2391(TPL,E?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between pin 6 (VCC) and pin 4 (GND) of the TLP2391(TPL,E, located within 1 cm of the pins. This decoupling capacitor stabilizes the internal high-gain amplifier and prevents oscillation or improper switching - especially critical at high data rates. The TLP2391(TPL,E will not meet its specified 10 Mbps performance without this capacitor.
What safety certifications does the TLP2391(TPL,E hold?
The TLP2391(TPL,E is UL-recognized (UL 1577, File No. E67349), cUL-recognized (CSA 5A File No. E67349), and VDE-approved per EN IEC 60747-5-5 when ordered with the V4 option (e.g., TLP2391(V4-TPL,E). The base TLP2391(TPL,E meets UL/cUL requirements out-of-box; VDE compliance requires explicit V4 ordering. The TLP2391(TPL,E also complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (indicated by "E" suffix).
How does the TLP2391(TPL,E achieve high common-mode transient immunity?
The TLP2391(TPL,E incorporates an internal Faraday shield between its LED and photodetector die, which blocks capacitive coupling of fast transients across the isolation barrier. This design guarantees ±20 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - measured per IEC 60747-5-5 - enabling reliable operation in proximity to IGBTs, contactors, and variable-frequency drives. The TLP2391(TPL,E maintains this specification across its full -40°C to +125°C operating range.
