NEW PRODUCT GUIDE
 IGBT / POWER MOSFET GATE DRIVE
PHOTO-IC COUPLERS
TLP250 (INV) / TLP250F (INV)

The Toshiba TLP250 (INV) and TLP250F (INV) are 8-pin

photocouplers designed exclusively for use in IGBT
(isolated-gate bipolar transistor) drive applications.
These photocouplers are capable of driving the gates of
IGBTs and power MOSFETs directly (for which the
addition of a gate resistor is necessary).
The photo-IC couplers are housed in compact packages.
This, combined with their ability to drive IGBTs and power
MOSFETs directly, makes system design easier, allows
simpler circuit configurations and improves system
reliability.
