Notes:
* Indicates JEDEC registered data.
1. The current transfer ratio(I
C
/I
F
) is the ratio of the detector collector current to the LED input current with V
CE
@ 10V.
2. Pulse test: pulse width = 300µs, duty cycle
≤
2.0% .
4. I
F
adjusted to I
C
= 2.0mA and I
C
= 0.7mA rms.
5. The frequency at which I
C
is 3dB down from the 1kHz value.
6. For this test, LED pins 1 and 2 are common, and phototransistor pins 4, 5 and 6 are common.
