OPTICALLY ISOLATED
ERROR AMPLIFIER
FOD2741A
DESCRIPTION
The FOD2741 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 con-
verters.
When using the FOD2741, 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 dip white package.

Notes
1. Device is considered as a two terminal device: Pins 1,2 3 and 4 are shorted together and Pins 5,6,7 and 8 are shorted together.
2. Common mode transient immunity at output high is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVcm/dt on the leading edge of the com-
mon mode impulse signal, Vcm, to assure that the output will remain high. Common mode transient immunity at output low is
the maximum tolerable (negative) dVcm/dt on the trailing edge of the common pulse signal,Vcm, to assure that the output will
remain low.
