Fairchild Semiconductor Introduces A Unique, New Optically Isolated Error Amplifier at PowerSystems World 2001t

Unique new FOD2712 Optically Isolated Error Amplifier incorporates an error amplifier, a reference voltage, and an optocoupler in a single, 8-pin small outline package

Rosemont, IL. Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) today, at the opening of PowerSystems World 2001, announced the introduction of a unique, new Optically Isolated Error Amplifier.

The FOD2712 Optically Isolated Error Amplifier combines an error amplifier, reference voltage, and optocoupler in an 8-pin small outline package for use in isolated ac to dc power supplies and dc to dc converters. This allows power supply designers to reduce the component count and save space in tightly packaged designs.

"This unique new product is the result of a joint technology development program between the analog and optoelectronics groups of Fairchild Semiconductor," according to Steve Sherman, Fairchild Semiconductor Senior Vice President, and General Manager of the Optoelectronics Group. "The resulting Optically Isolated Error Amplifier is an ideal single component solution for power conversion applications."

The optocoupler is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) light-emitting diode optically coupled to a silicon phototransistor, and provides 2,500 VRMS isolation. The reference voltage is 1.24V with a +/-1% tolerance, the current transfer ratio (CTR) range is 100 to 200%, and the operating temperature range is -40 to +85 degrees C. The FOD2712 has CSA and UL safety agency certifications, and VDE and BSI safety agency certifications have been applied for and are pending.

Price: US $0.35 each in 500 piece quantities Availability: Now Delivery: Immediate delivery
