Description
The FOD8012 is a full duplex, bi-directional, high-speed
logic gate Optocoupler, which supports isolated commu-
nications allowing digital signals to communicate
between systems without conducting ground loops or
hazardous voltages. It utilizes Fairchild’s proprietary co-
planar packaging technology, Optoplanar®, and opti-
IC design to achieve minimum 20kV/µs Common Mode
Noise Rejection (CMR) rating.
This high-speed logic gate optocoupler is highly inte-
grated with 2 optically coupled channels arranged in
bi-directional configuration, and housed in a compact
8-pin small outline package. Each optocoupler channel
consists of a high-speed AlGaAs LED driven by a CMOS
buffer IC coupled to a CMOS detector IC. The detector
IC comprises of an integrated photodiode, a high-speed
trans-impedance amplifier and a voltage comparator
with an output driver. The CMOS technology coupled to
the high efficiency of the LED achieves low power con-
sumption as well as very high speed (60ns propagation
delay, 15ns pulse width distortion).
