Rochester Electronics FOD4116V Environmental and export classification status description

The Fairchild Semiconductor FOD4116V is an optocoupler manufactured by ON Semiconductor, which acquired Fairchild Semiconductor. It is part of the Isolators category and provides electrical isolation between input and output circuits. The optocoupler consists of an infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor in a single package. It is designed to transfer digital signals between isolated circuits while maintaining high isolation voltage. Functions: 1. Electrical isolation: The FOD4116V provides a barrier that blocks electrical signals while allowing optical signals to pass through, ensuring that the input and output circuits are electrically isolated. 2. Signal transmission: The optocoupler transfers digital signals from one circuit to another by converting electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. 3. Noise reduction: By isolating signals, the FOD4116V helps in reducing noise and interference between different circuits. Applications: 1. Industrial automation: Used in PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), motor drives, and other industrial control systems to provide isolation between control circuits. 2. Power supplies: Integrated into power converters and inverters to ensure safety and isolation between high-voltage and low-voltage circuits. 3. Telecommunications: Employed in communication systems to prevent ground loops and ensure signal integrity. 4. Medical equipment: Utilized in patient monitoring devices, medical imaging systems, and equipment requiring electrical isolation for patient safety. Alternative components: 1. Broadcom ACPL-C87T: A dual-channel optocoupler providing similar features and performance. 2. Vishay ILD213T: Optocoupler with high isolation voltage and fast response times. 3. Toshiba TLP521-4: Cost-effective optocoupler suitable for basic isolation applications. Embedded modules: The Fairchild Semiconductor FOD4116V does not have embedded modules but can be integrated into printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic devices for signal isolation.
