Product details
Overview
FOD0720R2 from ON Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild) is a high-speed logic gate optocoupler designed for bidirectional signal isolation in industrial digital interfaces. It delivers 25 Mbit/sec data rate, 40 ns max propagation delay, 8 ns pulse width distortion, and 20 kV/µs minimum common-mode transient immunity across a -40°C to +100°C operating range - enabling robust communication in Profibus, DeviceNet, and isolated RS-485 systems.
For engineers reviewing the FOD0720R2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified CMR performance at full temperature range, guaranteed 25 Mbps NRZ timing compliance, dual 5 V CMOS supply compatibility, and UL1577-certified 3750 VACrms isolation - all in an industry-standard SOIC-8 package.
Technical Context
The FOD0720R2 integrates a high-efficiency AlGaAs LED with a monolithic CMOS detector IC containing a photodiode, transimpedance amplifier, and voltage comparator with output driver. Its coplanar Optoplanar packaging ensures precise die alignment and minimized parasitic capacitance (0.2 pF typical).
It operates with separate input (VDD1/GND1) and output (VDD2/GND2) supplies, supports non-return-to-zero (NRZ) encoding, and maintains logic-level compatibility with 4.5–5.5 V CMOS rails on both sides - enabling galvanic isolation without level-shifting circuitry in fieldbus node designs.

|---|---|---|---|
| TLP2362(TP,E | 20 Mbps max data rate; 60 ns max propagation delay; 15 kV/µs CMR; same SOIC-8 package | Limited to lower-speed industrial networks (e.g., Modbus RTU); not suitable for 25 Mbps Profibus DP | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirement and CMR margin can be relaxed by 5 kV/µs |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the FOD0720R2?
The FOD0720R2 supports a maximum data rate of 25 Mbit/sec using non-return-to-zero (NRZ) coding. This specification is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and under recommended supply conditions (VDD1/VDD2 = 4.5–5.5 V). The FOD0720R2 achieves this performance through its optimized AlGaAs LED and integrated CMOS detector architecture - making it suitable for high-speed industrial fieldbus applications such as Profibus DP and DeviceNet.
Does the FOD0720R2 require external current-limiting resistors on the input side?
No, the FOD0720R2 does not require external current-limiting resistors on the input side because it incorporates an integrated CMOS driver that regulates LED current internally. Input VI is directly CMOS-compatible (0–5 V logic levels), and the device draws only 6.5–10.0 mA IDD1L under logic-low conditions. This eliminates the need for discrete biasing components and simplifies PCB layout - a key advantage over older optocoupler architectures requiring external resistor networks.
What safety certifications does the FOD0720R2 hold?
The FOD0720R2 is certified to UL1577 (File #E90700, Volume 2) for 3750 VACrms isolation voltage for 1 minute, and complies with IEC60747-5-2 (pending approval at time of datasheet publication). These certifications validate its suitability for reinforced insulation in industrial equipment per IEC 61800-5-1 and other functional safety standards. The FOD0720R2's Optoplanar packaging and 0.2 pF isolation capacitance further support its use in safety-critical signal isolation paths.
Can the FOD0720R2 operate with different supply voltages on input and output sides?
Yes, the FOD0720R2 supports independent input (VDD1) and output (VDD2) supply rails, each rated for 4.5–5.5 V. This allows true galvanic isolation between domains - for example, interfacing a 5 V microcontroller I/O with a 5 V RS-485 transceiver while maintaining separation. Both supplies must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitors (VDD1–GND1 and VDD2–GND2), and Pin 3 (LED anode) must remain unconnected as specified in the FOD0720R2 datasheet.
How does the FOD0720R2 compare to the FOD0721R2 in terms of pulse width distortion?
The FOD0720R2 has a maximum pulse width distortion (PWD) of 8 ns, whereas the FOD0721R2 is specified at 6 ns - both measured under identical test conditions (PW = 40 ns, CL = 15 pF). This 2 ns difference reflects tighter internal timing matching in the FOD0721R2's detector IC, making it preferable for ultra-low-jitter clock distribution. However, the FOD0720R2's 8 ns PWD remains fully adequate for most industrial data transmission protocols including Profibus DP and DeviceNet, where jitter tolerance exceeds 10 ns.
