Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has introduced a new series of 2-channel digital isolators designed for automotive applications. The newly released DCM32xx00 Series includes four models that deliver a typical common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 100kV/μs and a maximum data transfer speed of 50Mbps. These isolators comply with the AEC-Q100 standard, which is widely recognized for ensuring the quality and reliability of electronic components used in vehicles. Shipments have officially begun.
These components are especially suited for use in systems like on-board chargers (OBC) and battery management systems (BMS) found in electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. In such systems, electrical isolation and protection against signal interference are critical. Toshiba’s new digital isolators are built to meet these needs, enabling secure high-speed communication while resisting noise and electrical disturbances.
The devices rely on Toshiba’s own magnetic coupling transmission technology, which helps maintain strong signal integrity across isolated channels. With a CMTI rating of 100kV/μs (typical), the isolators offer high resistance to common-mode noise, enhancing the stability and safety of control signal transmission. Additionally, they offer low pulse-width distortion at 0.8ns (typical) and support data speeds of up to 50Mbps, making them well-suited for high-speed I/O systems and CAN-based communication.
This release adds to Toshiba’s existing range of digital isolators, which already includes 4-channel models for automotive environments. The new 2-channel variants come in compact SOIC8-N packages, offering more flexibility for space-constrained designs without compromising performance.
Looking ahead, Toshiba plans to broaden its selection of digital isolators by introducing products with additional channel counts and package types, not only for automotive applications but also for industrial systems. The company remains focused on delivering components that meet strict reliability and performance standards.
Through these continued efforts, Toshiba aims to support evolving automotive requirements with dependable isolation solutions. These products are expected to contribute significantly to the safety and efficiency of advanced vehicle electronics.
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation continues to build on its decades of innovation, offering leading-edge semiconductor and storage solutions. With 19,400 employees worldwide, the company is dedicated to collaborating with customers to create value and shape a better future.
