Description
These diode-transistor optocoup-
lers use an insulating layer
between a LED and an integrated
photodetector to provide elec-
trical insulation between input
and output. Separate connections
for the photodiode bias and
output-transistor collector
increase the speed up to a
hundred times that of a conven-
tional phototransistor coupler by
reducing the base-collector
capacitance.

*Technical data for these products are on separate HP publications.
†Pin 7, transistor base, is not connected.
The 6N136, HCPL-0501, and
HCNW136 are designed for high
speed TTL/TTL applications. A
standard 16 mA TTL sink current
through the input LED will
provide enough output current
for 1 TTL load and a 5.6 kΩ pull-
up resistor. CTR for these devices
is 19% minimum at IF= 16 mA.
The HCPL-4502, HCPL-0452,
and HCNW4502 provide the
electrical and switching
performance of the 6N136,
HCPL-0501, and HCNW136 with
increased ESD protection.
These single channel optocoup-
lers are available in 8-Pin DIP,
SO-8 and Widebody package
configurations.
The 6N135, HCPL-0500, and
HCNW135 are for use in TTL/
CMOS, TTL/LSTTL or wide
bandwidth analog applications.
Current transfer ratio (CTR) for
these devices is 7% minimum at
IF= 16 mA.
The HCPL-4503, HCPL-0453,
and HCNW4503 are similar to the
HCPL-4502, HCPL-0452, and
HCNW4502 optocouplers but
have increased common mode
transient immunity of 15 kV/µs
minimum at VCM = 1500 V
guaranteed.

**The Input-Output Momentary Withstand Voltage is a dielectric voltage rating that should not be interpreted as an input-output
continuous voltage rating. For the continuous voltage rating refer to the VDE 0884 Insulation Related Characteristics Table (if
applicable), your equipment level safety specification or HP Application Note 1074 entitled “Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance
Voltage,” publication number 5963-2203E.

Notes:
1. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.8 mA/°C (8-Pin DIP).
Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.5 mA/°C (SO-8).
2. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.6 mA/°C (8-Pin DIP).
Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.0 mA/°C (SO-8).
3. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.9 mW/°C (8-Pin DIP).
Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 1.1 mW/°C (SO-8).
4. Derate linearly above 70°C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.0 mW/°C (8-Pin DIP).
Derate linearly above 85°C free-air temperature at a rate of 2.3 mW/°C (SO-8).
5. CURRENT TRANSFER RATIO in percent is defined as the ratio of output collector current, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF,
times 100.
6. Device considered a two-terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
7. Common mode transient immunity in a Logic High level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVCM/dt on the leading edge of the
common mode pulse signal, V
CM, 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 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).
8. The 1.9 kΩ load represents 1 TTL unit load of 1.6 mA and the 5.6 kΩ pull-up resistor.
9. The 4.1 kΩ load represents 1 LSTTL unit load of 0.36 mA and 6.1 kΩ pull-up resistor.
10. The frequency at which the ac output voltage is 3 dB below its mid-frequency value.
11. The JEDEC registration for the 6N136 specifies a minimum CTR of 15%. HP guarantees a minimum CTR of 19%.
12. See Option 020 data sheet for more information.
13. Use of a 0.1 µf bypass capacitor connected between pins 5 and 8 is recommended.
14. 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 performed before the 100% Production test shown in the VDE 0884
Insulation Related Characteristics Table if applicable.
15. 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 performed before the 100% Production test shown in the VDE 0884
Insulation Related Characteristics Table if applicable.
16. This rating is equally validated by an equivalent ac proof test.
