Isolation

Thesediode-transistor optocouplers use an insulating layer
between a LED and an integrated
photodetector to provide electrical insulation between input
and output. Separate connections
for the photodiode bias and
output-transistor collector
increase the speed up to a
hundred times that of a conventional phototransistor coupler by
reducing the base-collector
capacitance.

These single channel optocouplers are available in 8-Pin DIP,
SO-8 and Widebody package
configurations.

output current for 1 TTL load and
a 5.6 kΩ pull-up resistor. CTR for
these devices is 19% minimum at
IF = 16 mA.

The 6N135, HCPL-0500, and
HCNW135 are for use in TTL/
CMOS, TTL/LSTTL or wide
bandwidth analog applications.
Current transferratio (CTR) for
these devices is 7% minimum at
IF = 16 mA.

The HCPL-4502, HCPL-0452,
and HCNW4502 provide the
electrical and switching
performance of the 6N136,
HCPL-0501, and HCNW136 with
increased ESD protection.

The 6N136, HCPL-2502,
HCPL-0501, and HCNW136 are
designed for high speed TTL/TTL
applications. A standard 16 mA
TTL sink current through the
input LED will provide enoughThe HCPL-4503, HCPL-0453,
and HCNW4503 are similar to the
HCPL-4502, HCPL-0452, and
HCNW4502 optocouplers but
have increased common mode
transient immunity of 15 kV/µs
minimum at VCM = 1500 V
guaranteed.
