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 photo-transistor
coupler by reducing the base-collector capacitance.
These optocouplers are available in an 8-pin DIP and in
an industry standard SO-8 package. The following is a
cross reference table listing the 8-pin DIP part number
and the electrically equivalent SO-8 part number.
The SO-8 does not require "through holes" in a PCB. This
package occupies approximately one-third the foot-
print area of the standard dual-in-line package. The lead
profile is designed to be compatible with standard surface
mount processes.
These optocouplers can be used in LVTTL/LVCMOS or
wide bandwidth analog applications.
The common mode transient immunity of 1000 V/µs
minimum to typical at VCM = 10 V guaranteed for these
optocouplers.

1. Derate linearly above 70˚C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.8 mA/˚C (8-Pin DIP).
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, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF, 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) 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 a 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).
8. The 1.9 kΩ load represents 1 TTL unit load of 1.6 mA and the 5.6 mA kΩ pull-up resistor.
9. The 4.1 kΩ load represents 1 LSTTL unit load of 0.36 mA and 6.1 kΩ 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%. Avago guarantees a minimum CTR of 15%.
12. See Option 020 data sheet for more information.
13. Use of a 0.1 µf bypass capacitor connected between pins 5 and 8 is recommended.
14. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 4500 V rms for 1 second (leakage detec-
tion current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA). This test is performed before the 100% Production test shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation
Related Characteristics Table, if applicable.
15. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage ≥ 6000 V rms for 1 second (leakage detec-
tion current limit, II-O ≤ 5 µA). This test is performed before the 100% Production test shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation
Related Characteristics Table, if applicable.
16. This rating is equally validated by an equivalent AC proof test.
