Optocouplers isolate logic control circuitry

Optocouplers isolate logic control circuitry

The FOD0721, FOD0720, and FOD0710 logic gate optocouplers isolate logic control circuitry from the transceiver at the bus interface level to ensure low transmission error rates in noisy industrial environments. The 25-Mbit/s devices are packaged in the company’s Optoplanar co-planar packaging, which reduces package capacitance by more than 30% compared to competitive solutions to enable a 20-kV/µs minimum common-mode noise rejection rating.

The optocouplers suit industrial communication standards such as Profibus, DeviceNet, CAN, and RS-485. (Ea/1,000: FOD0721, $2.67; FOD0720, $2.44; FOD0710, $2.21 — 6 weeks ARO.)
