PLC Solution

Toshiba's lineup of MOSFETs, photocouplers, TVS diodes (ESD protection diodes), Logic ICs, and other semiconductor components help designers optimize their PLC projects. Designing highly functional Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) is challenging, as they require both a small form factor and strong heat dissipation.

Features

• Low-capacitance TVS diodes ensure high signal protection performance and signal quality
• Low on-resistance MOSFETs enables high-efficiency operation
• High heat dissipation package for reduction of heat generation
• Optical coupling over an isolated barrier
• Compliance with safety standards (UL, cUL, etc.) (photocouplers)

Digital Input Module

Toshiba ESD suppressors and transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes offer industry-leading protection for signal lines, up to 10 Gbps speed. This is made possible by achieving low dynamic resistance and low clamp voltage characteristics.

Optically-coupled photocouplers provide simple and reliable isolation. A transistor output photocoupler or an IC output photocoupler which has high-speed communication capability is recommended for PLC designs. In addition, Toshiba photocouplers have been approved by UL1577, VDE:EN60747-5-5, EN62368-1, and other organizations. This makes it easier to observe safety standards established around the world.

Digital Output Module

High withstand voltage and low on-resistance MOSFETs are ideal for low power consumption for output channels. Toshiba's MOSFET products use the latest generation narrow pitch processes and offer a lot of characteristic benefits.

Power Module

Toshiba’s super-junction MOSFET (DTMOS) series are suitable for high-output power supply applications and D-MOS (double-diffused) MOSFETs are suitable for low-output power supplies. By keeping on-resistance low, heat generation and current consumption can be minimized, and loss can also be reduced.

Toshiba photocouplers help improve the safety, power consumption and reduce mount area.
