- Realize Stable Operation with High Common-mode Transient Immunity and High-Speed Data Communication -


KAWASAKI, Japan--BUSINESS WIRE--

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a line of 2-channel high-speed standard digital isolators for automotive applications. The new "DCM32xx00 Series” features four devices that support stable operation with high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 100kV/μs (typ.)[1] and high data transmission rate of 50Mbps (max)[2]. All conform to the AEC-Q100 standard for the safety and reliability of automotive electronic components. Shipments start today.

Toshiba: DCM32xx00 Series, automotive standard digital isolators compliant with AEC-Q100.

Toshiba: DCM32xx00 Series, automotive standard digital isolators compliant with AEC-Q100.

The safety and reliability of on-board chargers (OBC) and battery management systems (BMS) in hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV) require devices that ensure isolation and prevent noise-propagation. Automotive standard digital isolators provide solutions for the multi-channel high-speed communications and high CMTI these isolation devices require.

The new isolators use Toshiba's proprietary magnetic coupling type isolated transmission method to achieve a high CMTI of 100kV/μs (typ.). This delivers high level resistance to electric noise between input and output in isolated signal transmission, enables stable control signal transmission and contributes to stable equipment operation. A low-pulse-width distortion of 0.8ns (typ.)[2] and a data-transmission rate of 50Mbps (max)[2] are also achieved. The new products are suitable for 2-channel high-speed communication applications such as I/O interfaces with CAN[3] communications.

Toshiba already mass produces 4-channel automotive standard digital isolators, and has now extended its product lineup to 2-channel small SOIC8-N packages. Going forward, the company will expand its range of channels and packages for automotive and industrial equipment. It will continue to provide high-quality isolation devices and photocouplers that support the reliability and real-time data transmission required by automotive equipment.

Keep Tasmania’s transport public as new research exposes privatisation risk

The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) Tasmania is calling on all election candidates to commit to ruling out public transport privatisation as new independent research validates the union’s key election priorities. The union warns that any move to privatise Metro Tasmania would be a disaster for workers, passengers and the state’s future. RTBU Tasmania Branch Secretary Byron Cubit said history shows privatisation leads to service cuts, higher fares and worse conditions for frontline workers. “Public transport exists to serve the community, not to make a profit,” Mr Cubit said. “We’ve seen what happens when governments hand over services to…

Hundreds of kerbside EV chargers to hit NSW streets

The Electric Vehicle Council said the NSW government’s investment in 549 new kerbside chargers will make it easier for more Australians to make the switch to EVs. The $2.8 million government investment, combined with private co-funding, will see kerbsideEV chargers across 130 suburbs in LGAs including Parramatta, Inner West and City of Sydney. The announcement comes amid rising EV sales, which made up more than 12 per cent of new car sales in the first half of this year, up from 9.6 per cent in the same period the year before. Electric Vehicle Council CEO Julie Delvecchio said: “More kerbside…
