HIGH SPEED
TRANSISTOR OPTOCOUPLERS
DESCRIPTION
The HCPL-4502/HCPL-2503, 6N135/6 and HCPL-2530/HCPL-2531 optocouplers
consist of an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to a high speed photodetector transistor.
A separate connection for the bias of the photodiode improves the speed by several
orders of magnitude over conventional phototransistor optocouplers by reducing the
base-collector capacitance of the input transistor.
An internal noise shield provides superior common mode rejection of 10kV/µs. An
improved package allows superior insulation permitting a 480 V working voltage
compared to industry standard 0f 220 V.
APPLICATIONS
• Line receivers
• Pulse transformer replacement
• Output interface to CMOS-LSTTL-TTL
• Wide bandwidth analog coupling
