Industrial applications present reliability challenges to
designers as a result of the high temperature and tight spaces
commonly found in power supplies, motor controls and consumer
applications such as chargers and adapters. To combat these
reliability challenges, system design engineers need an
optocoupler, which allows for more design margins and has stable
parameters in high temperature environments.
To meet this need, Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a
leading global supplier of high-performance power and mobile
semiconductor solutions, developed the FODM8801, part of the
OptoHiT™ series of high temperature phototransistor optocouplers.
These devices use Fairchild’s proprietary OPTOPLANAR® coplanar
packaging technology to achieve high noise immunity and reliable
isolation at high operating temperatures.
The FODM8801 consists of an aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs)
infrared light emitting diode optically coupled to a
phototransistor. The device provides a guaranteed Current Transfer
Ratio (CTR) for both saturated and non-saturated modes of operation
and switching specifications over the extended operating
temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) for greater design
flexibility.
The device offers excellent CTR linearity at high temperature
and operates at a very low input current (IF). The FODM8801 is
packaged in a compact, half-pitch, mini-flat, 4-pin package (1.27mm
lead pitch), saving board space and providing more design
flexibility, allowing for overall reductions in system cost.
Additionally, the FODM8801 provides high isolation voltage for
increased reliability in lead-free environments. Devices in the
OptoHiT series are ideally suited for industrial applications,
including power supplies, motor controls and consumer applications,
which include chargers and adapters.
The FODM8801 is part of Fairchild’s comprehensive portfolio of
high performance optocouplers that offer leading-edge noise
immunity resulting from its proprietary OPTOPLANAR coplanar
packaging technology. The OPTOPLANAR technology ensures safe
insulation thickness of more than 0.4 millimeters in attaining
reliable high voltage isolation, and provides >5mm creepage and
clearance distance, certified by UL1577 and DIN_EN/IEC60747-5-2
standards.
