Description

These diode-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.

Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.5 mA/°C (SO-8).

2. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.6 mA/°C (8-Pin DIP).

Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.0 mA/°C (SO-8).

3. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.9 mW/°C (8-Pin DIP).

Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.1 mW/°C (SO-8).

4. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.0 mW/°C (8-Pin DIP).

Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.3 mW/°C (SO-8).

5. CURRENT TRANSFER RATIO in percent is defined as the ratio of output collector current, I

, to the forward LED input current, I

, times 100.

6. Device considered a two-terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
7. Common mode transient immunity in a Logic High level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dV

/dt on the leading edge of the common

mode pulse signal, V

, to assure that the output will remain in a Logic High state (i.e., V

> 2.0 V). Common mode transient immunity in a

Logic Low level is the maximum tolerable (negative) dV

/dt on the trailing edge of the common mode pulse signal, V

, to assure that the

output will remain in a Logic Low state (i.e., V

< 0.8 V).

8. The 1.9 k

load represents 1 TTL unit load of 1.6 mA and the 5.6 mA k

pull-up resistor.

9. The 4.1 k

load represents 1 LSTTL unit load of 0.36 mA and 6.1 k

pull-up resistor.

10. The frequency at which the AC output voltage is 3 dB below its mid-frequency value.
11. The JEDEC registration for the 6N136 specifies a minimum CTR of 15%. Agilent guarantees a minimum CTR of 15%.
12. See Option 020 data sheet for more information.
13. Use of a 0.1

f bypass capacitor connected between pins 5 and 8 is recommended.
