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 DSCC Drawing. All
devices are manufactured and
tested on a MIL-PRF-38534
certified line and are included in
the DSCC Qualified Manufac-
turers List QML-38534 for Hybrid
Microcircuits.
Each channel contains an AlGaAs
light emitting diode which is
optically coupled to an integrated
high gain photon detector. The
detector has a threshold with
hysteresis which provides differ-
ential mode noise immunity and
eliminates the potential for
output signal chatter. The
detector in the single channel
units has a tri-state output stage

which allows for direct connection
to data buses. The output is non-
inverting. The detector IC has an
internal shield that provides a
guaranteed common mode
transient immunity of up to
10,000 V/µs. Improved power
supply rejection eliminates the
need for special power supply
bypass precautions.
Package styles for these parts are
8 pin DIP through hole (case
outline P), 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 electrical 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 limita-
tions and are as noted. Addition-
ally, 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 per-
formance for die related
reliability and certain limited
radiation test results.

Notes:
1. Peak Forward Input Current pulse width < 50 µs at 1 KHz maximum repetition rate.
2. Each channel of a multichannel device.
3. Duration of output short circuit time not to exceed 10 ms.
4. All devices are considered two-terminal devices: measured between all input leads or terminals shorted together and all output leads
or terminals shorted together.
5. This is a momentary withstand test, not an operating condition.
6. CML is the maximum rate of rise of the common mode voltage that can be sustained with the output voltage in the logic low state (VO
< 0.8 V). CMH is the maximum rate of fall of the common mode voltage that can be sustained with the output voltage in the logic
high state (VO > 2.0 V).
7. tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 50% point on the leading edge of the input pulse to the 1.3 V point on the leading edge
of the output pulse. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 50% point on the trailing edge of the input pulse to the 1.3 V
point on the trailing edge of the output pulse.
8. Measured between each input pair shorted together and all output connections for that channel shorted together.
9. Measured between adjacent input pairs shorted together for each multichannel device.
10. Zero-bias capacitance measured between the LED anode and cathode.
11. Standard parts receive 100% testing at 25°C (Subgroups 1 and 9). SMD, Class H and Class K parts receive 100% testing at 25, 125,
and –55°C (Subgroups 1 and 9, 2 and 10, 3 and 11, respectively).
12. Parameters are tested as part of device initial characterization and after design and process changes. Parameters guaranteed to limits
specified for all lots not specifically tested.
