Note:
1. The output voltage (Vout) is the product of photocurrent (IPH) and loading resistor (RL)
2. A right loading resistor shall be chosen to meet the requirement of maximum ambient light,
and output saturation voltage:
Vout(max.) = Iout(max.) × RL ≦ Vout(saturation)=Vcc-0.8V
3. To avoid 60Hz ripple from fluorescent lamps, we suggest that the time constant must be
greater than 0.5 second:
RL × CL
≧ 0.5

Recommended method of storage
Reflow Terms:
JEDEC Level 4 Specification
Dry box storage is recommended as soon as the aluminum bag has been opened prevent
moisture absorption. The following conditions should be observed, if dry boxes are not
available:
℃ to 30℃
Storage temperature 10
Storage humidity
≦60%RH max
After more than 72 hours under these conditions moisture content will be too high for
Reflow soldering. In case of moisture absorption, the devices will recover to former
condition by drying under the following condition:
℃ ℃/-0℃ and 5%RH (dry air / nitrogen), or
96 hours at 60℃+5℃ and < 5%RH for all device containers, or
24 hours at 125℃+5℃ not suitable for reel or tubes
192 hours at 40 +5
ESD Precaution:
Proper storage and handing procedures should be followed to prevent ESD damage to
the devices especially when they are removed from the Anti-static bag. Electro-Static
Sensitive Devices warning labels are on the packing.
Recommended Solder Profile
Notice:
(1) Reflow soldering should not be done more than two times.
(2) When soldering, do not put stress on the devices during heating.
(3) After soldering, do not warp the circuit board.

Soldering Iron
℃ for 3
Each terminal is to go to the tip of soldering iron temperature less than 350
seconds within once in less than the soldering iron capacity 25W. Leave two seconds and
more intervals, and do soldering of each terminal. Be careful because the damage of the
product is often started at the time of the hand solder.
Repairing
Repair should not be done after the device have been soldered. When repairing is
unavoidable, a double-head soldering iron should be used (as below figure). It should be
confirmed beforehand whether the characteristics of the device will or will not be
damaged by repairing.
