Fairchild Semiconductor’s Optocouplers Deliver Best-in-Class Noise Immunity
December 18 2008 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) brings designers of solar
inverters, motor drives and induction heating applications a
best-in-class common mode rejection (CMR) optocoupler solution. The
FOD3120 and FOD3150, 2.5A and 1A output current gate drive
optocouplers, achieve the industry�s highest CMR rating and can
easily drive 1200V/20A IGBTs and MOSFETs even in the noisiest
industrial environment. This noise immunity is instrumental in
preventing unwanted switching which can lead to shoot-through
current and damage to the IGBT. These devices also offer tight
pulse width distortion (100ns), offering smaller filters. Smaller
filters consume less power and lead to improved power efficiency.
With a 1414V peak working voltage, these gate drive optocouplers
are able to accommodate high voltage IGBTs. Fairchild is a leading
supplier of optoelectronic products, offering a wide range of
packaging platforms and incorporating various combinations of input
and output configurations. Fairchild offers simple function
optocouplers for low-bandwidth/general switching applications, high
performance optocouplers for high bandwidth/high-gain applications,
high-voltage optocouplers for AC load switching applications, and
other complex functions that provide unique performance
characteristics. In addition, Fairchild has infrared components,
ranging from infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors,
transmissive and reflective opto-sensors, and customized products
to meet specific design requirements. The FOD3120 and FOD3150
utilize lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and have been characterized
for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow
requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020. Price
