15 MBd open-collector optocoupler with 5000 Vrms isolation
The Toshiba TLP2962(TP1,F) is a single-channel, high-speed optocoupler with a DC-coupled input LED and an open-collector output stage.
20 kV/µs CMTI — keeps data clean in noisy environments
Common-mode transient immunity is rated at a minimum of 20 kV/µs. That number matters when the optocoupler sits across a switching power stage — in a motor drive or a mains-isolated ADC interface, fast voltage swings on the isolation barrier can glitch a slower part. The TLP2962 holds its output state through those edges, so you don't get spurious pulses on the controller side.
75 ns propagation delay — timing budget for 15 MBd links
Propagation delay is 75 ns max in both directions, with 3 ns rise and 12 ns fall typical. That gives you a clean 15 MBd NRZ data path with enough margin for most industrial fieldbus and encoder interfaces. The open-collector output's pull-up resistor value sets the rise time — keep it low enough to stay within the 50 mA per-channel output current limit.
8-SMD Gull Wing — rework-friendly footprint
The package is an 8-pin SMD with gull-wing leads, 8-SMD case code. Gull wings are about as rework-friendly as they come — you can lift the part with hot air and not worry about hidden pads or tented vias underneath. The leads are visible for inspection and touch-up. No exposed paddle to solder, so the thermal path is through the leads only; keep the ambient airflow reasonable if you're running near the 50 mA output limit at 125°C.
Toshiba lists the TLP2962(TP1,F) as an active product. No last-time-buy notice, no end-of-life flag. For a production BOM that needs a 5000 Vrms isolated open-collector interface, this part is a low-risk pick from a continuity standpoint. RoHS compliant per the listing.
