HCPL-540X Datasheet, PDF (11/12 Pages) Agilent(Hewlett-Packard) – Hermetically Sealed, Very High Speed, Logic Gate Optocouplers
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 - tPLH| 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.
