ISOCOM CSM160

These devices are hermetically sealed, dual-channel and quad-channel optically coupled isolators. Each channel is composed of a Gallium Arsenide infrared emitting diode and a high gain photon detector. The high gain output stage features an open collector output providing bother low output saturation and a higher speed of operation than what is possible with conventional photodarlington couplers.

The CSM160 series are being used in environments encountered in space applications. Package styles for this device include a 16-Pin flatpack package with solder dip options available. These packages have a shield effect to cut off ambient light, as they are designed for high density mounting applications.

Absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, electrical specifications and performance characteristics are identical for all units. Any exceptions, due to packaging variations and limitations are as noted.

Key features of the CSM160 include:

• Total Ionising Dose Tested to 30 Krad(Si)
• Displacement Damage Tested to 3 MeV x 1012
• High Current Transfer Ratio (Typically 1000%)
• Low Input Requirements 0.5mA
• Hermetically Sealed
• 16-Pin Flatpack

Typical applications for the CSM160 include:

• Space Radiation Equipment
• Military and High-Reliability Systems
• Medical Instruments
• MOS / CMOS Applications
• Logic Interfacing
• Data Transmission
• Power Supply
