FOD420, FOD4208, FOD4216, FOD4218 — 6-Pin DIP High dv/dt Random Phase Triac Drivers
Electrical Characteristics (Continued)

Transfer Characteristics
Note:
4. All devices are guaranteed to trigger at an I
F
value less than or equal to max I
FT
.Therefore, recommended operating
I
F
lies between max I
FT
(2 mA for FOD420 and FOD4208 and 1.3 mA for FOD4216 and FOD4218) and the absolute
max I
F
(30 mA).
Isolation Characteristics
Note:
5. Isolation voltage, V
ISO
, is an internal device dielectric breakdown rating. For this test, pins 1, 2 and 3 are common,
and pins 4, 5 and 6 are common. 5,000 VAC
RMS
for 1 minute duration is equivalent to 6,000 VAC
RMS
for 1 second
duration.
