Description
These units are single and dual
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 Manufac-
turers List QML-38534 for Hybrid
Microcircuits.
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.

data rate capability. The detector
has a threshold with hysteresis,
which typically provides 0.25 mA
of differential mode noise
immunity and minimizes the
potential for output signal
chatter. The detector in the single
channel units has a three state
output stage which eliminates the
need for a pull-up resistor and
allows for direct drive of a data
bus.
All units are compatible with TTL,
STTL, LSTTL, and HCMOS logic
families. The 35 ns pulse width
distortion specification guaran-
tees a 10 MBd signaling rate at
+125°C with 35% pulse width
distortion. Figures 13 through 16
show recommended circuits for
reducing pulse width distortion
and optimizing the signal rate of
the product. Package styles for
these parts are 8 pin DIP through
hole (case outlines P), 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 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 similar 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 perform-
ance for die related reliability and
certain limited radiation test
results.

Notes:
1. Not to exceed 5% duty factor, not to exceed 50 µsec pulse width.
2. All devices are considered two-terminal devices: measured between all input leads or terminals shorted together and all output leads
or terminals shorted together.
3. This is a momentary withstand test, not an operating condition.
4. tPHL propagation delay is measured from the 50% point on the rising edge of the input current pulse to the 1.5 V point on the falling
edge of the output pulse. The tPLH propagation delay is measured from the 50% point on the falling edge of the input current pulse to
the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the output pulse. Pulse Width Distortion, PWD = |tPHL - tPLH|.
5. CML is the maximum slew rate of the common mode voltage that can be sustained with the output voltage in the logic low state
(VO(MAX) < 0.8 V). CMH is the maximum slew rate of the common mode voltage that can be sustained with the output voltage in the
logic high state (VO(MIN) > 2.0 V).
6. Duration of output short circuit time not to exceed 10 ms.
7. Power Supply Noise Immunity is the peak to peak amplitude of the ac ripple voltage on the VCC line that the device will withstand and
still remain in the desired logic state. For desired logic high state, VOH(MIN) > 2.0 V, and for desired logic low state, VOL(MAX) < 0.8 V.
8. Measured between adjacent input pairs shorted together for each multichannel device.
9. Each channel.
10. Standard parts receive 100% testing at 25°C (Subgroups 1 and 9). SMD and hi-rel parts receive 100% testing at 25, 125, and –55°C
(Subgroups 1 and 9, 2 and 10, 3 and 11, respectively).
11. Parameters are tested as part of device initial characterization and after design and process changes. Parameters are guaranteed to
limits specified for all lots not specifically tested.
12. Propagation delay skew is defined as the difference between the minimum and maximum propagation delays for any given group of
optocouplers with the same part number that are all switching at the same time under the same operating conditions.
13. The HCPL-6430 and HCPL-6431 dual channel parts function as two independent single channel units. Use the single channel
parameter limits.

MIL-PRF-38534 Class H,
Class K, and DESC SMD
Test Program
Hewlett-Packard’s Hi-Rel Opto-
couplers are in compliance with
MIL-PRF-38534 Classes H and K.
Class H devices are also in
compliance with DESC drawings
5962-89570, and 5962-89571.
Testing consists of 100% screen-
ing and quality conformance
inspection to MIL-PRF-38534.
Data Rate and Pulse-
Width Distortion
Definitions
Propagation delay is a figure of
merit which describes the finite
amount of time required for a
system to translate information
from input to output when
shifting logic levels. Propagation
delay from low to high (tPLH)
specifies the amount of time
required for a system’s output to
change from a Logic 0 to a Logic
1, when given a stimulus at the
input. Propagation delay from
high to low (tPHL) specifies the
amount of time required for a
system’s output to change from a
Logic 1 to a Logic 0, when given
a stimulus at the input (see
Figure 5).
When tPLH and tPHL differ in
value, pulse width distortion
results. Pulse width distortion is
defined as |tPHL -t
PLH| and
determines the maximum data
rate capability of a distortion-
limited system. Maximum pulse
width distortion on the order of
25-35% is typically used when
specifying the maximum data rate
capabilities of systems. The exact
figure depends on the particular
application (RS-232, PCM, T-1,
etc.).
These high performance opto-
couplers offer the advantages of
specified propagation delay (tPLH,
tPHL), and pulse width distortion
(|tPLH -t PHL|) over temperature
and power supply voltage ranges.
