Fairchild Semiconductor’s (NYSE: FCS) high performance
optocoupler, the FOD8001, has received an EN-Genius Network 2009
“Product of the Year” award for “Best New Optocoupler”. With the
FOD8001, system engineers are able to design a strong industrial
fieldbus network with low transmission error rates, low system
failure rates and proven reliability over an extended period of
time.
The FOD8001, a 3.3V/5V high-speed logic gate optocoupler, offers
best-in-class noise immunity through its patented coplanar
OPTOPLANAR® packaging technology. It features 25kV/µs@1,500Vcm
dynamic Common Mode Transient Immunity (CMTI) rating during
high-speed optocoupler switching and 40kV/µs@1,000Vcm static CMTI,
making it more resilient to noise. The FOD8001 offers an isolation
rating of 3,750V(rms). Isolation is achieved through optical light
transmission across the isolation barrier with 0.5mm minimum
physical separation between the primary and secondary sides to
ensure long term reliability of the isolation barrier in customers’
applications.
This optocoupler offers high bandwidth (25Mbps) and tight pulse
width distortion (6 nanoseconds), meeting the industry standard for
field bus communications in automation technology such as Profibus,
DeviceNet, CAN, Modbus, Interbus and many other standards. With a
wide supply voltage range from 3V to 5.5V, it enables easy
interfacing with low voltage devices, reducing overall system
power. To support the requirements of industrial applications, the
FOD8001 also offers a wide temperature range of -40ºC to
+105ºC.
According to EN-Genius Network, Fairchild’s FOD8001 optocoupler
was chosen as a 2009 “Product of the Year” for its efficiency, high
bandwidth performance and excellent noise immunity.
The EN-Genius “Product of the Year” award winners are selected
from exceptional product releases reviewed by the EN-Genius
editorial team over the course of the year. Winners are chosen
based on their strong technical merit, design, innovation and the
likelihood of market success.
