• TTL, CMOS voltage level translation
DESCRIPTION
• Multiplexed data transmission
High common mode transient immunity and very high
current ratio together with 5300 VRMS insulation are
achieved by coupling and LED with an integrated high gain
photo detector in an eight pin dual-in-line package.
Separate pins for the photo diode and output stage enable
TTL compatible saturation voltages with high speed
operation.
Access to the base terminal allows adjustment to the gain
bandwidth.
The 6N139 is suited for low power logic applications
involving CMOS and low power TTL applications. A 400 %
current transfer ratio with only 0.5 mA of LED current is
guaranteed.
• Digital control power supply
• Ground loop and electrical noise elimination
AGENCY APPROVALS
• UL 1577
• cUL
• DIN EN 60747-5-5 (VDE 0884-5), available with option 1
Caution: Due to the small geometries of this device, it should be
handled with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions. Proper
grounding would prevent damage further and/or degradation which
may be induced by ESD.
