FODM121GR4

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The FODM121GR4 is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler from onsemi, designed for general-purpose isolation applications. It features a 3750Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +110°C. The device utilizes an NPN phototransistor output with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80V and a collector current of 80mA. Key electrical parameters include a typical rise/fall time of 3µs, a forward voltage of 1.3V, and a saturation voltage of 400mV. The Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) ranges from 50% to 600% at a forward current of 5mA. It is supplied in a 4-SMD Miniflat-4 package.
