High Speed Optocoupler, 100 kBd, Low Input Current,
Photodiode Darlington Output
DESIGN SUPPORT TOOLS
DESCRIPTION
High common mode transient immunity and very high
current ratio together with 5300 VRMS insulation are
achieved by coupling and LED with an integrated high gain
photo detector in an eight pin dual-in-line package.
Separate pins for the photo diode and output stage enable
TTL compatible saturation voltages with high speed
operation.
Access to the base terminal allows adjustment to the gain
bandwidth.
The 6N139 is suited for low power logic applications
involving CMOS and low power TTL applications. A 400 %
current transfer ratio with only 0.5 mA of LED current is
guaranteed.
Caution: Due to the small geometries of this device, it should be
handled with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions. Proper
grounding would prevent damage further and/or degradation which
may be induced by ESD.
FEATURES
• High current transfer ratio, 500 %
• Low input current, 1.6 mA
• High common mode rejection, 500 V/μs
• Adjustable bandwidth-access to base
• Material categorization:
for definitions of compliance please see

(1) In applications where dV/dt may exceed 50 000 V/μs (such as state discharge) a series resistor, RCC should be included to protect IC from
destructively high surge currents. The recommend value is RCC ≅ [(1 V)/(0.15 IF (mA)] kΩ
