Hi-Reliability GaAIAs Infrared Emitting Diode
OP223, OP224 (TX, TXV)
OP224 (S)
Description:
Each OP223 (TX, TXV) and OP224 (S, TX, TXV) device is an 890 nm high reliability gallium aluminum arsenide
infrared emitting diode that is mounted in a miniature hermetically sealed “pill” type package which can be directly
mounted to PCBoards. The gallium aluminum arsenide feature provides twice the radiated output of gallium
arsenide at the same forward current.
After electrical testing by manufacturing, devices are processed to OPTEK’s 100 percent screening program,
which is patterned after MIL-PRF-19500. With a wavelength centered at 890 nm, the OP223 (TX, TXV) and
OP224 (S, TX, TXV).
TX and TXV devices are processed to OPTEK’s military screening program patterned after MIL-PRF-19500.
S devices are processed to OPTEK’s military screening program patterned after MIL-STD-883.
Please refer to Application Bulletins 208 and 210 for additional design information and reliability (degradation) data.
Contact your local representative or OPTEK for more information.
Features:
• Processed to OPTEK’s military screening program, patterned
after MIL-PRF-19500
• Miniature hermetically sealed “pill” package
• Twice the power output of GaAs at same drive current
• “S” level screening available
• Mechanically and spectrally matched to OP600 phototransistors
