Description
The FOD073L optocoupler consists of an AlGaAs LED
optically coupled to a high gain split darlington photo-
detector. This device is specified to operate at a 3.3V
supply voltage.
An integrated emitter – base resistor provides superior
stability over temperature.
The combination of a very low input current of 0.5mA
and a high current transfer ratio of 2000% (typical)
makes this device particularly useful for input interface to
MOS, CMOS, LSTTL and EIA RS232C, while output
compatibility is ensured to LVCMOS as well as high
fan-out LVTTL requirements.
An internal noise shield provides exceptional common
mode rejection of 10kV/µs.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
(No derating required up to 85°C)
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.

Notes:
1. Current Transfer Ratio is defined as a ratio of output collector current, I
O
, to the forward LED input current, I
F
, times
100%.
2. Common mode transient immunity in logic high level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dV
CM
/dt on the leading
edge of the common mode pulse signal, V
CM
, to assure that the output will remain in a logic high state
(i.e., V
O
> 2.0V). Common mode transient immunity in logic low level is the maximum tolerable (negative) dV
CM
/dt
on the trailing edge of the common mode pulse signal, V
CM
, to assure that the output will remain in a logic low state
(i.e., V
O
<0.8 V).
3. Device is considered a two terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 are shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7 and 8 are
shorted together.
4. CI-O is measured by shorting pins 1 and 2 or pins 3 and 4 together and pins 5 through 8 shorted together.
5. Measured between pins 1 and 2 shorted together, and pins 3 and 4 shorted together.

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.
