DESCRIPTION
The HCPL-4502/HCPL-2503, 6N135/6 and HCPL-2530/HCPL-2531 optocouplers
consist of an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to a high speed photodetector transistor.
A separate connection for the bias of the photodiode improves the speed by several
orders of magnitude over conventional phototransistor optocouplers by reducing the
base-collector capacitance of the input transistor.
An internal noise shield provides superior common mode rejection of 10kV/µs. An
improved package allows superior insulation permitting a 480 V working voltage
compared to industry standard 0f 220 V.

Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.8 mA/°C.
Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.6 mA/°C.
Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.9 mW/°C.
Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.0 mW/°C.
Current Transfer Ratio is defined as a ratio of output collector current, I
O,
to the forward LED input current, I
F
, times 100%.
The 4.1 k$"load represents 1 LSTTL unit load of 0.36 mA and 6.1k$"pull-up resistor.
The 1.9 k$"load represents 1 TTL unit load of 1.6 mA and 5.6 k$"pull-up resistor.
Common mode transient immunity in logic high level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dV
cm
/dt on the leading edge of the
common mode pulse signal V
CM
, to assure that the output will remain in a logic high state (i.e., V
O
%2.0
V). Common mode transient
immunity in logic low level is the maximum tolerable (negative) dV
cm
/dt on the trailing edge of the common mode pulse signal, V
CM
,
to assure that the output will remain in a logic low state (i.e., V
O
&0.8
V).
