6N138, 6N139
HIGH SPEED OPTICALLY
COUPLED ISOLATOR
PHOTODARLINGTON OUTPUT
APPROVALS
l UL recognised, File No. E91231
DESCRIPTION
These diode-darlington optocouplers use a light
emitting diode and an integrated high gain photon
detector to provide 2500Volts
between input and output. Seperate connection for
electrical isolation
RMS
the photodiode bias and output darlington collector
improve the speed up to a hundred times that of a
conventional photo-darlington coupler by reducing
the base-collector capacitance.
FEATURES
l High speed - DC to 300kBits/s operation
l High Common Mode Transient
Immunity 10kV/µs typical
l TTL Compatible - 0.1V V
l Base access allows Gain Bandwidth
typical
OL
Adjustment
l Low Input Current Requirement - 0.5mA
l High Current Transfer Ratio - 2000% typ.
l Open Collector Output
l 2500V
l 6N139 has improved noise shield which
Withstand Test Voltage, 1 min
RMS
gives superior common mode rejection
l Options :-
10mm lead spread - add G after part no.
Surface mount - add SM after part no.
Tape&reel - add SMT&R after part no.
l All electrical parameters 100% tested
l Custom electrical selections available
APPLICATIONS
l Line receivers
l Digital logic ground isolation
l Telephone ring detector
l Current loop receiver
