Data Sheet Construction
Data sheet information is generally presented in the
following sequence:
• Description
• Features
• Applications
• Absolute maximum ratings
• Optical and electrical characteristics
• Typical characteristics (diagrams)
• Dimensions (mechanical data)
Additional information on device performance is provided if necessary.
Description
The following information is provided: Type number,
semiconductor materials used, sequence of zones,
technology used, device type and, if necessary, construction.
Also, short-form information on the typical applications and special features is given.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
These define maximum permissible operational and
environmental conditions. If any one of these conditions is exceeded, this could result in the destruction
of the device. Unless otherwise specified, an ambient
temperature of 25 ± 3 ° C is assumed for all absolute
maximum ratings. Most absolute ratings are static
characteristics; if they are measured by a pulse
method, the associated measurement conditions are
stated. Maximum ratings are absolute (i.e., interdependent).
Any equipment incorporating semiconductor devices
must be designed so that even under the most unfavorable operating conditions, the specified maximum
ratings of the devices used are never exceeded.
These ratings could be exceeded because of
changes in supply voltage, the properties of other
components used in this equipment, control settings,
load conditions, drive level, environmental conditions
and the properties of the devices themselves (i.e.,
ageing).
Some thermal data is given under the heading ‘Absolute Maximum Ratings’ (e.g., junction temperature,
storage temperature range, total power dissipation).
This is because it imposes a limit on the application
range of the device.
The thermal resistance junction ambient (RthJA)
quoted is that which would be measured without artificial cooling, i.e., under worst-case conditions.

Temperature coefficients, on the other hand, are
listed together with the associated parameters under
‘Optical and Electrical Characteristics’.
Optical and Electrical Characteristics
The most important operational optical and electrical
characteristics (minimum, typical and maximum values) are grouped under this heading, together with
associated test conditions supplemented with graphs.
Typical Characteristics (Diagrams)
Besides the static (DC) and dynamic (AC) characteristics, a family of curves is given for specified operating conditions. Here, the typical independence of
individual characteristics is shown.
Dimensions (Mechanical Data)
In this section, important dimensions and connection
sequences are given, supplemented by a circuit diagram. Case outline drawings carry DIN-, JEDEC or
commercial designations. Information on angle of
sensitivity or intensity and weight completes the list of
mechanical data.
Note:
If the dimensional information does not include
any tolerances, then the following applies:
Lead length and mounting hole dimensions are
minimum values. Radiant sensitive or emitting
area respectively are typical, all other dimensions are maximum.
Any device accessories must be ordered separately and the order number must be quoted.
Additional Information
Preliminary specifications
This heading indicates that some information given
here may be subject to slight changes.
Not for new developments
This heading indicates that the device concerned
should not be used in equipment under development.
The device is, however, available for present production.
