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
appropriate DESC Drawing. All
devices are manufactured and
tested on a MIL-PRF-38534
certified line and are included in
the DESC Qualified
Manufacturers List QML-38534
for Hybrid Microcircuits.
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

prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.

capability will enable the designer
to interface any TTL family to
CMOS. The availability of the
base lead allows optimized gain/
bandwidth adjustment 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
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 respec-
tively), 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
Military 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 performance
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.
