Radiation Effects Data
Neutron Fluence: Hard to > 1E13n/cm2
Total Dose: Hard to 1 Mrad (Si)
Dose Rate: Hard to 6E9 rad (Si)/sec
Vcc photocurrent up to 1.5A; up to 15µs output transient upset
Notes
1. Each channel.
2. Measured between pins 1 through 4 shorted together and pins 9 through 16 shorted together.
3. Measured between pins 1 and 2 or 5 and 6 shorted together, and pins 9 through 16 shorted together.
4. Measured between pins 1 and 2 shorted together, and pins 5 and 6 shorted together.
5. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 6.5mA point on the trailing edge of the input pulse to
the 1.5V point on the trailing edge of the output pulse.
6. The tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 6.5mA point on the leading edge of the input pulse to
the 1.5V point on the leading edge of the output pulse.
7. CMh is the maximum tolerable common mode transient to assure that the output will remain in a high
logic state (ie. Vo > 2.0V)
8. CMl is the maximum tolerable common mode transient to assure that the output will remain in a low logic
state (ie. Vo < 0.8V)
9. It is essential that a bypass capacitor (0.01 to 0.1µF, ceramic) be connected from pin 10 to pin 15. Total
lead length between both ends of the capacitor and the isolator pins should not exceed 20mm.
10. This is a momentary withstand test, not an operation condition.
Reliability and Approvals
Isocom Ltd supplies high reliability devices for applications requiring an operating temperature range of -
55°C to +125°C (e.g. military applications).
The 6N134 optocoupler is approved to BS9400 GO123 qualification approval certificate number 0035/G.
Devices supplied have completed rigorous testing, and various high reliability test options are offered. The
Company is developing a suitable specification to permit release to CECC 20000.
As a manufacturer of high reliability optocouplers Isocom Ltd's manufacturing plant in North East England,
has site approval to BS9000 (registered number 1294/M) issued by the British Standards Institution.
Together with CECC, BS9000 is a preferred standard for use in European military projects. Consequently,
Isocom Ltd's approved devices are listed in the CECC "MUAHAG" preferred products list.
The BS9000 approval is also recognised as meeting the equivalent criteria to those required by
BS5750/ISO9000/EN29000.
The Company's customers can be assured of our commitment to stringent quality, reliability and inspection
standards, as demonstrated by our existing approvals. Other customer-specific options can also be offered.
