Low Input Current, High Gain Optocouplers
Data Sheet
Lead (Pb) Free
RoHS 6 fully
compliant
RoHS 6 fully compliant options available;
-xxxE denotes a lead-free product
Description
These high gain series couplers use a Light Emitting
Diode and an integrated high gain photodetector to
provide extremely high current transfer ratio between
input and output. Separate pins for the photodiode
and output stage result in TTL compatible saturation
voltages and high speed operation. Where desired the
V
CC
and V
O
terminals may be tied together to achieve
conven tional photodarlington operation. A base
access terminal allows a gain bandwidth adjustment to
be made.
The 6N139, HCPL-0701, and CNW139 are for use in CMOS,
LSTTL or other low power applications. A 400% mini-
mum current transfer ratio is guaranteed over 0 to 70°C
operating range for only 0.5 mA of LED current.
The 6N138, HCPL-0700, and HCNW138 are designed for
use mainly in TTL applications. Current Transfer Ratio
(CTR) is 300% minimum over 0 to 70°C for an LED current
of 1.6 mA (1 TTL Unit load ). A 300% minimum CTR
enables operation with 1 TTL Load using a 2.2 kΩ
pull-up resistor.
Features
High current transfer ratio – 2000% typical (4500 %
typical for HCNW139/138)
Low input current requirements – 0.5 mA
TTL compatible output – 0.1 V V
OL

Performance guaranteed over temperature 0°C
to 70°C
Base access allows gain bandwidth adjustment
High output current – 60 mA

*5000 V rms/1 minute rating is for HCNW139/138 and Option 020
(6N139/138) products only.
A 0.1 μF bypass capacitor connected between pins 8 and 5 is
recommended.
CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly
of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
Selection for lower input current down to 250 μA is
available upon request.
The HCPL-0701 and HCPL-0700 are surface mount devices
packaged in an industry standard SOIC-8 footprint.
The SOIC-8 does not require “through holes” in a PCB.
This package occupies approximately one-third the
footprint area of the standard dual-in-line package. The
lead profile is designed to be compatible with standard
surface mount processes.
The HCNW139 and HCNW138 are packaged in a
widebody encapsulation that provides creepage and
clearance dimensions suitable for safety approval by
regulatory agencies worldwide.
