DESCRIPTION
The 6N138/9 and HCPL-2730/HCPL-2731 optocouplers consist of an AlGaAs LED
optically coupled to a high gain split darlington photodetector.
8
The split darlington configuration separating the input photodiode and the first
stage gain from the output transistor permits lower output saturation voltage and
1
higher speed operation than possible with conventional darlington phototransistor
optocoupler. In the dual channel devices, HCPL-2730/HCPL2731, an integrated
emitter - base resistor provides superior stability over temperature.

The combination of a very low input current of 0.5 mA and a high current transfer
ratio of 2000% makes this family particularly useful for input interface to MOS,
8
CMOS, LSTTL and EIA RS232C, while output compatibility is ensured to CMOS as 8
well as high fan-out TTL requirements.

An internal noise shield provides exceptional common mode rejection of 10 kV/µs.
An improved package allows superior insulation permitting a 480 V working voltage
compared to industry standard 220 V.

NOTES

1. Current Transfer Ratio is defined as a ratio of output collector current, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF, times 100%.
2. Pin 7 open. (6N138 and 6N139 only)
3. Common mode transient immunity in logic high level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVcm/dt on the leading edge of the
common mode pulse signal, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a logic high state (i.e., VO&2.0 V). Common mode
transient immunity in logic low level is the maximum tolerable (negative) dVcm/dt on the trailing edge of the common mode pulse
signal, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a logic low state (i.e., VO'0.8 V).
4. Device is considered a two terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 are shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7 and 8 are shorted together.
5. For dual channel devices, CI-O is measured by shorting pins 1 and 2 or pins 3 and 4 together and pins 5 through 8 shorted together.
6. Measured between pins 1 and 2 shorted together, and pins 3 and 4 shorted together.
