In May 2012, Renesas Electronics Corporation introduced a photocoupler with a long external creepage distance of 14.5 mm.
Features and USP: The photocoupler is suited for inverters in applications such as industrial equipment, and complies with safety standards covering the maximum commercial power supply voltage of 690V or solar power generation systems employing high voltages up to 1000 V. The insulation voltage is 7500 Vrms. The photocoupler employs a light receiving IC, enabling it to achieve a low parasitic capacitance while keeping the circuit current below 3 mA and delivering short delay times of less than 150 ns.
