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.
FEATURES
• Isolation test voltages: 5300 VRMS
• TTL compatible
• High bit rates: 1 Mbit/s
• High common-mode interference immunity
•Bandwidth 2 MHz
• Open-collector output
• External base wiring possible
• Material categorization:
for definitions of compliance please see

Note
• Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not
implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.
Note
• Minimum and maximum values are testing requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are the result of engineering
evaluation. Typical values are for information only and are not part of the testing requirements.
