OLC249-Top-1

The OLC049, OLC249, and OLC449 can be used for large satellite constellation applications that require optical isolation in radiation environments such as gamma, neutron, and proton radiation with a high CTR and low saturation VCE. Each optocoupler consists of an LED and N-P-N silicon phototransistor that is electrically isolated, but optically coupled inside a non-hermetic six-pin Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) package.

Additional OLC049 Features Include:

  • Miniature non-hermetic surface-mount package
  • Radiation tolerant
  • High CTR guaranteed over –55 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature range
  • 1000 VDC electrical isolation

Additional OLC249 Features Include:

  • Non-Hermetic SMT package
  • 1000 VDC electrical isolation
  • High CTR
  • Small package size
  • Radiation tolerant

Additional OLC449 Features Include:

  • Radiation tolerant version of the 4N49U
  • High current transfer ratio (CTR) is guaranteed:
    • – Over –55 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature range
    • – At LED current of 1mA
  • 1000 VDC electrical isolation
  • Same processing and construction as the OLC249, but with a higher CTR
