Vishay Semiconductors
High Speed Optocoupler, 1 MBd,
Photodiode With Transistor Output
DESCRIPTION
The 6N135 and 6N136 are optocouplers with a GaAIAs
infrared emitting diode, optically coupled with an integrated
photo detector which consists of a photo diode and a
high speed transistor in a DIP-8 plastic package.
Signals can be transmitted between two electrically
separated circuits up to frequencies of 2 MHz. The potential
difference between the circuits to be coupled should not
exceed the maximum permissible reference voltages.
