HIGH SPEED
TRANSISTOR OPTOCOUPLERS
DESCRIPTION
The HCPL-4502/HCPL-2503, 6N135/6 and HCPL-2530/HCPL-2531 optocouplers
consist of an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to a high speed photodetector transistor.
A separate connection for the bias of the photodiode improves the speed by several
orders of magnitude over conventional phototransistor optocouplers by reducing the
base-collector capacitance of the input transistor.
An internal noise shield provides superior common mode rejection of 10kV/µs. An
improved package allows superior insulation permitting a 480 V working voltage
compared to industry standard 0f 220 V.
APPLICATIONS
• Line receivers
• Pulse transformer replacement
• Output interface to CMOS-LSTTL-TTL
• Wide bandwidth analog coupling

2. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.6 mA/°C.
3. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.9 mW/°C.
4. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.0 mW/°C.
5. Current Transfer Ratio is defined as a ratio of output collector current, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF, times 100%.
6. The 4.1 k$"load represents 1 LSTTL unit load of 0.36 mA and 6.1k$"pull-up resistor.
7. The 1.9 k$"load represents 1 TTL unit load of 1.6 mA and 5.6 k$"pull-up resistor.
8. Common mode transient immunity in logic high level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVcm/dt on the leading edge of the
common mode pulse signal VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a logic high state (i.e., VO%2.0 V). Common mode transient
immunity in logic low level is the maximum tolerable (negative) dVcm/dt on the trailing edge of the common mode pulse signal, VCM,
to assure that the output will remain in a logic low state (i.e., VO&0.8 V).
9. Device is considered a two terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 are shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7 and 8 are shorted together.
10. Measured between pins 1 and 2 shorted together, and pins 3 and 4 shorted together.
