6N138 Description

The 6N138 optocouplers consist of an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to a high gain split Darlington photodetector. With a split Darlington phototransistor optocoupler, the input photodiode and first stage gain are separated from the output transistor, allowing for lower output saturation voltage and faster operation than with a normal Darlington phototransistor optocoupler. 

 

The combination of a low input current of 0.5mA and a high current transfer ratio of 2000 percent makes this family ideal for input interface to MOS, CMOS, LSTTL, and EIA RS232C, while output compatibility with CMOS and high fan-out TTL needs is ensured. A 10 kV/s common-mode rejection is achieved thanks to an inbuilt noise shield.
