Additional Details:
The TLP109TPLET features a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) infrared emitting diode on the input side and a phototransistor on the output side. The isolation voltage is a crucial parameter and should be selected based on the application's safety requirements. Detailed specifications, including isolation voltage, current transfer ratio (CTR), switching speed, and operating temperature range, are available in the Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage datasheet.
