Description
These high gain series couplers
use a Light Emitting Diode and an
integrated high gain photodetector to provide extremely high
current transfer ratio between
input and output. Separate pins
for the photodiode and output
stage result in TTL compatible
saturation voltages and high
speed operation. Where desired
the VCC and VO terminals may be
tied together to achieve conventional photodarlington operation.
A base access terminal allows a
gain bandwidth adjustment to be
made.

*5000 V rms/1 minute rating is for HCNW139/138 and Option 020 (6N139/138) products only.
A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor connected between pins 8 and 5 is recommended.
CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of this component to
prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.

The 6N139, HCPL-0701, and
CNW139 are for use in CMOS,
LSTTL or other low power applications. A 400% minimum current
transfer ratio is guaranteed over
0 to 70°C operating range for only
0.5 mA of LED current.
(1 TTL Unit load ). A 300%
minimum CTR enables operation
with 1 TTL Load using a 2.2 kΩ
pull-up resistor.
Selection for lower input current
down to 250 µA is available upon
request.
The SOIC-8 does not require
“through holes” in a PCB. This
package occupies approximately
one-third the footprint area of the
standard dual-in-line package.
The lead profile is designed to be
compatible with standard surface
mount processes.
The 6N138, HCPL-0700, and
HCNW138 are designed for use
mainly in TTL applications.
Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) is
300% minimum over 0 to 70°C
for an LED current of 1.6 mA
The HCPL-0701 and HCPL-0700
are surface mount devices
packaged in an industry standard
SOIC-8 footprint.
The HCNW139 and HCNW138
are packaged in a widebody
encapsulation that provides creep-
age and clearance dimensions
suitable for safety approval by
regulatory agencies worldwide.
