DATA SHEET
OLS449: Radiation-Tolerant Phototransistor Hermetic
Surface-Mount Optocoupler
Features
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 V
DC electrical isolation
Same reliable processing and construction as the OLS249, but
with a higher CTR
High-reliability screenings are available
Description
The OLS449 is specifically designed for high reliability and space
applications that require optical isolation in radiation
environments such as gamma, neutron, and proton radiation with
a high CTR and low saturation V
CE. Each optocoupler consists of
an LED and N-P-N silicon phototransistor that is electrically
isolated, but optically coupled inside a hermetic six-pin Leadless
Chip Carrier (LCC) package.
Electrical parameters are similar to the JEDEC registered 4N49
optocoupler, but with a higher CTR and better CTR degradation
characteristics due to radiation exposure.
The OLS449 is designed for a low LED operating current while
providing excellent radiation tolerance margins. The OLS449 has
100 percent high-reliability screenings available.
