6-Pin DIP Optoisolators
Darlington Output
The 4N29/A, 4N30, 4N31, 4N32
(1)
and 4N33
(1)
devices consist of a gallium
arsenide infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a monolithic silicon
photodarlington detector.
This series is designed for use in applications requiring high collector output
currents at lower input currents.
Higher Sensitivity to Low Input Drive Current
Meets or Exceeds All JEDEC Registered Specifications
To order devices that are tested and marked per VDE 0884 requirements, the
suffix "V" must be included at end of part number. VDE 0884 is a test option.
Applications
Low Power Logic Circuits
Interfacing and coupling systems of different potentials and impedances
Telecommunications Equipment

1. Difference in 4N32 and 4N33 is JEDEC Registration for VISO only. All Motorola 6Pin devices
exceed JEDEC specification and are 7500 Vac(pk). The same applies for 4N29 and 4N30.
2. Isolation surge voltage is an internal device dielectric breakdown rating. For this test, Pins 1 and
2 are common, and Pins 4, 5 and 6 are common.
3. Refer to Quality and Reliability Section in Opto Data Book for information on test conditions.
Preferred devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.
