Description
The FOD2742 Optically Isolated Amplifier consists of the
popular KA431 precision programmable shunt reference
and an optocoupler. The optocoupler is a gallium
arsenide (GaAs) light emitting diode optically coupled to
a silicon phototransistor. It comes in 3 grades of
reference voltage tolerance = 2%, 1%, and 0.5%.
The Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) ranges from 100% to
200%. It also has an outstanding temperature coefficient
of 50 ppm/°C. It is primarily intended for use as the error
amplifier/reference voltage/optocoupler function in
isolated ac to dc power supplies and dc/dc converters.
When using the FOD2742, power supply designers can
reduce the component count and save space in tightly
packaged designs. The tight tolerance reference
eliminates the need for adjustments in many
applications. The device comes in a 8-pin small outline
package.

Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.

FOD2742A, FOD2742B, FOD2742C — Optically Isolated Error Amplifier
The FOD2742
The FOD2742 is an optically isolated error amplifier. It
incorporates three of the most common elements neces-
sary to make an isolated power supply, a reference volt-
age, an error amplifier, and an optocoupler. It is
functionally equivalent to the popular KA431 shunt volt-
age regulator plus the CNY17F-X optocoupler.
Powering the Secondary Side
The LED pin in the FOD2742 powers the secondary
side, and in particular provides the current to run the
LED. The actual structure of the FOD2742 dictates the
minimum voltage that can be applied to the LED pin: The
error amplifier output has a minimum of the reference
voltage, and the LED is in series with that. Minimum volt-
age applied to the LED pin is thus 2.5V + 1.5V = 4.0V.
This voltage can be generated either directly from the
output of the converter, or else from a slaved secondary
winding. The secondary winding will not affect regula-
tion, as the input to the FB pin may still be taken from the
output winding.
The LED pin needs to be fed through a current limiting
resistor. The value of the resistor sets the amount of cur-
rent through the LED, and thus must be carefully
selected in conjunction with the selection of the primary
side resistor.
Feedback
Output voltage of a converter is determined by selecting
a resistor divider from the regulated output to the FB pin.
The FOD2742 attempts to regulate its FB pin to the
reference voltage, 2.5V. The ratio of the two resistors
should thus be:
The absolute value of the top resistor is set by the input
offset current of 5.2µA. To achieve 0.5% accuracy, the
resistance of RTOP should be:
Compensation
The compensation pin of the FOD2742 provides the
opportunity for the designer to design the frequency
response of the converter. A compensation network may
be placed between the COMP pin and the FB pin. In
typical low-bandwidth systems, a 0.1µF capacitor may
be used. For converters with more stringent
requirements, a network should be designed based on
measurements of the system’s loop. An excellent
reference for this process may be found in “Practical
Design of Power Supplies” by Ron Lenk, IEEE Press,
1998.
Secondary Ground
The GND pin should be connected to the secondary
ground of the converter.
No Connect Pins
The NC pins have no internal connection. They should
not have any connection to the secondary side, as this
may
compromise the isolation structure.
Photo-Transistor
The Photo-transistor is the output of the FOD2742. In a
normal configuration the collector will be attached to a
pull-up resistor and the emitter grounded. There is no
base connection necessary.
The value of the pull-up resistor, and the current limiting
resistor feeding the LED, must be carefully selected to
account for voltage range accepted by the PWM IC, and
for the variation in current transfer ratio (CTR) of the
opto-isolator itself.
Example: The voltage feeding the LED pins is +12V, the
voltage feeding the collector pull-up is +10V, and the
PWM IC is the Fairchild KA1H0680, which has a 5V
reference. If we select a 10KV resistor for the LED, the
maximum current the LED can see is:
(12V-4V) /10K = 800µA.
The CTR of the opto-isolator is a minimum of 100%, so
the minimum collector current of the photo-transistor
when the diode is full on is also 800µA. The collector
resistor must thus be such that:
select 12K to allow some margin.

LIFE SUPPORT POLICY
FAIRCHILD’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE
EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
As used herein:
1. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are
intended for surgical implant into the body or (b) support or sustain life,
and (c) whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance
with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably
expected to result in a significant injury of the user.
2. A critical component in any component of a life support, device, or
system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to
cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website, www.fairchildsemi.com,
under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their parts.
Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failedapplications,
and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the proliferation of
counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors who are
listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors are genuine parts, have
full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technicalandproduct information.
Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise. Fairchild will not provide
any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global problem and encourage our
customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
