6N139 Optocoupler: Pinout, Applications and Datasheet

6N139 devices is a high speed optocoupler, 100 kBd, low input current, photodiode darlington output. It is consists of an infrared emitting diode, optically coupled to a high gain split darlington photo detector. 

They provide extremely high current transfer ratio between input and output, with access to a base terminal to adjust the gain bandwidth.This devices are packaged in an 8-pin DIP package and available in wide-lead spacing and SMD options.

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. 

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.
