This document describes a series of optocouplers with high current transfer ratio, which use a light emitting diode and an integrated high gain photodetector to provide extremely high current transfer ratio between input and output. It features low input current requirements, TTL compatible output, and high output current.
This datasheet provides detailed specifications for Agilent optocouplers such as the 6N139, 6N138, HCPL‑0701, HCPL‑0700, HCNW139 and HCNW138. It includes performance figures like current transfer ratio, input current requirements, output voltage levels, and maximum output current, as well as safety approvals and package dimensions.
The document also contains ordering information, package outline drawings for DIP, SO‑8 and wide‑body formats, and regulatory compliance data (UL, CSA, IEC/EN/DIN). Contact details for technical assistance and distributor information are listed at the end.
