0708 and FOD0738 Provide Excellent Noise Immunity, High Bandwidth and Low Power Consumption in Noisy Industrial Environments

Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE NYSE

:FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ) new FOD0708 (single-channel) and FOD0738 (dual-channel) 15MBd optocouplers offer the industry's highest common-mode noise rejection (CMR CMR Crude mortality rate, see there ) rating, while providing the high-bandwidth (15Mbit/s), low-power-consumption characteristics demanded by industrial control applications. Fairchild's patented Optoplanar(TM) technology reduces package capacitance more than 30% compared to competitive solutions. This low package capacitance leads to a guaranteed 25KV/microseconds minimum CMR rating that is two-and-a-half times higher than the closest competitor, allowing the FOD07X8 series to operate in noisy industrial environments. Unlike open collector bipolar-equivalent solutions, these optocouplers feature a push-pull detector that eliminates the need for a pull-up resistor and the power-consuming current it draws.

"Noise can cause data errors in industrial control environments, adversely affecting applications such as line receivers on an automated factory floor," said John Constantino, manager of Fairchild's Optoelectronics Product Line. "The FOD07X8 optocouplers offer our customers the industry's best available common-mode noise immunity to solve this problem. To address the other key requirements of the industrial market, we developed our new 15MBd optocouplers with a push-pull configuration that reduces power consumption without penalizing bandwidth."

The electrical characteristics of the FOD07X8 product series are guaranteed beyond the full industrial temperature range (-40 degrees to +100 degrees Celsius). Their performance makes these devices ideal for interfacing with microprocessors, peripheral I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output.

Compared to typical face-to-face optocoupler/LED combinations, the FOD07X8 devices employ a side-by-side Optoplanar configuration and integrated proprietary silicon design on the detector chip. The resulting package capacitance enables these optocouplers to deliver excellent 50KV/microseconds common-mode immunity when a 2KV (peak) pulse is applied. These devices are available in a compact S0-8 package, with the dual-channel FOD0738 offering optimum mounting density. They also offer a 2500VRMS VRMS Virtual Richard M. Stallman (software package)
