Description
These units are single, dual and quad channel, hermetically
sealed optocouplers. The products are capable of operation
and storage over the full military temperature range and
can be purchased as either standard product or with full
MIL-PRF-38534 Class Level H or K testing or from the ap-
propriate DLA Drawing. All devices are manufactured and
tested on a MIL-PRF-38534 certified line and are included
in the DLA Qualified Manufacturers List QML-38534 for
Hybrid Microcircuits.

The connection of a 0.1 μF bypass capacitor between V
CC
and GND is recommended.
CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly
of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
Each channel contains a GaAsP light emitting diode which
is optically coupled to an integrated photon detector.
Separate connections for the photodiodes and output
transistor collectors improve the speed up to a hundred
times that of a conventional phototransistor optocoupler
by reducing the base-collector capacitance.
These devices are suitable for wide bandwidth analog
applications, as well as for interfacing TTL to LSTTL or
CMOS. Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) is 9% minimum at I
F
= 16 mA. The 18 V V
CC
capability will enable the designer
to interface any TTL family to CMOS. The availability of
the base lead allows optimized gain/ bandwidth adjust-
ment in analog applications. The shallow depth of the
IC photodiode provides better radiation immunity than
conventional phototransistor couplers.
These products are also available with the transistor base
node not connected to improve common mode noise
immunity and ESD susceptibility. In addition, higher CTR
minimums are available by special request.
Package styles for these parts are 8 and 16 pin DIP through
hole (case outlines P and E respectively), 16 pin DIP flat
pack (case outline F), and leadless ceramic chip carrier
(case outline 2). Devices may be purchased with a variety
of lead bend and plating options, see Selection Guide Table
for details. Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) parts are
available for each package and lead style.
Because the same functional die (emitters and detectors)
are used for each channel of each device listed in this
data sheet, absolute maximum ratings, recommended
operating conditions, electrical specifications, and perfor-
mance characteristics shown in the figures are identical
for all parts. Occasional exceptions exist due to package
variations and limitations and are as noted. Additionally,
the same package assembly processes and materials are
used in all devices. These similarities give justification for
the use of data obtained from one part to represent other
part’s performance for die related reliability and certain
limited radiation test results.
