Notes:
1) Maximum pulse width = 10us, maximum duty cycle = 0.2%.
2) Device is considered a two terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 are shorted together and pins 5, 6, 7
and 8 are shorted together.
3) According to UL1577, each optocoupler is tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 6000
Vrms for 1 second (leakage detection current limit, II-O ≤ 6 uA).
4) The difference between TPHL and TPLH between any two LTV-3120 parts under same test
conditions.
5) Common mode transient immunity in high stage is the maximum tolerable negative dVcm/dt on
the trailing edge of the common mode impulse signal, Vcm, to assure that the output will remain
high.
6) Common mode transient immunity in low stage is the maximum tolerable positive dVcm/dt on the
leading edge of the common mode impulse signal, Vcm, to assure that the output will remain low.
7) Pulse Width Distortion is defined as |TPHL - TPLH| for any given device.
