Description
The FOD420, FOD4208, FOD4216 and FOD4218
devices consist of an infrared emitting diode coupled to a
hybrid random phase triac formed with two inverse paral-
lel SCRs which form the triac function capable of driving
discrete triacs. The FOD4216 and FOD4218 utilize a
high efficiency infrared emitting diode which offers an
improved trigger sensitivity. These devices are housed in
a standard 6-pin dual in-line (DIP) package.
