The HCPL-3700 voltage/current threshold detection
optocoupler consists of an AlGaAs LED connected to a
threshold sensing input buffer IC which are optically coupled to a high gain darlington output. The input buffer
chip is capable of controlling threshold levels over a wide
range of input voltages with a single resistor. The output
is TTL and CMOS compatible.

A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor must
be connected between pins 8
and 5.
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.

Recommended Operating Conditions
The Recommended Operating Conditions table defines the conditions for actual device operation. Recommended
operating conditions are specified to ensure optimal performance to the datasheet specifications. Fairchild does not
recommend exceeding them or designing to absolute maximum ratings.

propagation delay is measured on the trailing edges
