Fast photorelays boost efficiency in semiconductor test
Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has introduced the TLP3414S and TLP3431S photorelays, which deliver significant improvements for semiconductor testing.
The photorelays offer high-speed turn-on times up to 62% shorter than their predecessors with no loss of performance. The relays also save PCB space as they come in a compact package that is 20% smaller than previous devices.
These characteristics make the TLP3414S and TLP3431S ideal for pin electronics applications in semiconductor testers, which measure devices under test (DUT) with high accuracy and at high speed while switching signals.
The TLP3414S and TLP3431S photorelays deliver high-efficiency optical coupling thanks to improvements in infrared LED performance and design optimisation of the photodiode arrays. This allows a high-speed turn-on time of up to 150μs. Compared to previous models, the turn-on time of TLP3414S is 50% shorter, while that of TLP3431S is approximately 62% shorter, representing significant performance improvements.
Quicker turn-on times have been achieved without any detriment to the device’s signal attenuation capabilities. ON-state resistance for the TLP3414S is 3Ω maximum and 1.2Ω maximum for TLP3431S. Output capacitance is typically 6.5pF for both models, which is crucial for reducing high-frequency signal leakage when the output is off. The OFF-state output terminal voltage rating and the ON-state current rating of TLP3414S is 40-V/250-mA and that of the TLP3431S is 20-V/450-mA.
The TLP3414S and TLP3431S photorelays use Toshiba’s latest S-VSON4T package, which measures just 1.45- × 2.0- × 1.3-mm. This reduces the mounting area by approximately 20% compared with previous Toshiba packages and contributes to the miniaturisation of equipment.
