Description
These high gain series couplers
use a Light Emitting Diode and an
integrated high gain photodetec-
tor 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 VCC and VO terminals may be
tied together to achieve conven-
tional photodarlington operation.
A base access terminal allows a
gain bandwidth adjustment to be
made.

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.
*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.

The 6N139, HCPL-0701, and
CNW139 are for use in CMOS,
LSTTL or other low power appli-
cations. A 400% minimum 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.
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 creep-
age and clearance dimensions
suitable for safety approval by
regulatory agencies worldwide.

Notes:
1. DC CURRENT TRANSFER RATI0
(CTR) is defined as the ratio of output
collector current, IO, to the forward
LED input current, IF, times 100%.
2. Pin 7 Open.
3. Device considered a two-terminal
device. Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted
together and Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted
together.
4. Use of a resistor between pin 5 and 7
will decrease gain and delay time.
Significant reduction in overall gain can
occur when using resistor values below
47 kΩ. For more information, please
contact your local HP Components
representative.
5. Common mode transient immunity in a
Logic High level is the maximum toler-
able (positive) dVCM/dt of the common
mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the
output will remain in a Logic High state
(i.e., VO > 2.0 V). Common mode
transient immunity in a Logic Low level
is the maximum tolerable (negative)
dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse,
VCM, to assure that the output will
remain in a Logic Low state (i.e.,
VO< 0.8 V).
6. In applications where dV/dt may exceed
50,000 V/µs (such as static discharge) a
series resistor, RCC, should be included
to protect the detector IC from
destructively high surge currents. The
recommended value is RCC = 220 Ω.
7. Use of a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor
connected between pins 8 and 5
adjacent to the device is recommended.
8. In accordance with UL 1577, each
optocoupler is proof tested by applying
an insulation test voltage 3000 V rms
for 1 second (leakage detection current
limit, II-O < 5 µA). This test is per-
formed before the 100% production test
shown in the VDE 0884 Insulation
Related Characteristics Table, if
applicable.
9. In accordance with UL 1577, each
optocoupler is proof tested by applying
an insulation test voltage > 6000 V rms
for 1 second (leakage detection current
limit, II-O < 5 µA). This test is per-
formed before the 100% production test
for partial discharge (method b) shown
in the VDE 0884 Insulation Related
Characteristics Table, if applicable.
