    It is a Condition of Sale that the user of Octagon products in life support applications assumes all the risk of such use and indemnifies Octagon against all damage.

  • Page 3: Using Cmos Circuitry In Industrial Control

    IMPORTANT! Please read before installing your product. Octagon's products are designed to be high in performance while consuming very little power. In order to maintain this advantage, CMOS circuitry is used. CMOS chips have specific needs and some special requirements that the user must be aware of.
  • Page 4 Multiple component failures - The chance of a random component failure is very rare since the average MTBF of an Octagon card is greater than 11 years. In a 7 year study, Octagon has never found a single case where multiple IC failures were not caused by misuse or accident.
  • Page 5 Other components probably have been partially damaged or a failure mechanism has been induced. Therefore, a failure will probably occur in the future. For such cards, Octagon highly recommends that these cards be replaced. Other over-voltage symptoms - In over-voltage situations, the programmable logic devices, EPROMs and CPU chips, usually fail in this order.
  • Page 6 Long leads act as an antenna to pick up noise. They can also act as unterminated transmission lines. When 5V is switch onto a line, it creates a transient waveform. Octagon has seen submicrosecond pulses of 8V or more. The solution is to place a capacitor, for example 0.1 µF, across the switch...
