High Gain Darlington Output Optocouplers Technical Data 4N45 4N46 Features Description * High Current Transfer Ratio-1500% Typical * Low Input Current Requirement-0.5 mA * Performance Guaranteed over 0C to 70C Temperature Range * Internal Base-Emitter Resistor Minimizes Output Leakage * Gain-Bandwidth Adjustment Pin * Safety Approval UL Recognized -2500 V rms for 1 Minute CSA Approved The 4N45/46 optocouplers contain a GaAsP light emitting diode optically coupled to a high gain photodetector IC. Applications * Telephone Ring Detector * Digital Logic Ground Isolation * Low Input Current Line Receiver * Line Voltage Status Indicator-Low Input Power Dissipation * Logic to Reed Relay Interface * Level Shifting * Interface Between Logic Families The excellent performance over temperature results from the inclusion of an integrated emitterbase bypass resistor which shunts photodiode and first stage leakage currents as well as bleeding off excess base drive to ground. External access to the second stage base provides the capability for better noise rejection than a conventional photodarlington detector. An external resistor or capacitor at the base can be added to make a gain-bandwidth or input current threshold adjustment. The base lead can also be used for feedback. The high current transfer ratio at very low input currents permits circuit designs in which adequate margin can be allowed for the effects of optical coupling variations. The 4N46 has a 350% minimum CTR at an input current of only 0.5 mA making it ideal for use in low input current applications such as MOS, CMOS and low power logic interfacing. Compatibility with high voltage CMOS logic systems is assured by the 20 V minimum breakdown voltage of the output transistor and by the guaranteed maximum output leakage (IOH) at 18 V. The 4N45 has a 250% minimum CTR at 1.0 mA input current and a 7 V minimum breakdown voltage rating. Selection for lower input current down to 250 A is available upon request.

Use of a resistor between pin 4 and 6 will decrease gain and delay time. (See Figures 11, 12, and 13.) 9. Common mode transient immunity in Logic High level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVcm /dt on the leading edge of the common mode pulse, VCM , to assure that the output will remain in a Logic High state (i.e., VO > 2.5 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 < 2.5 V). 10. 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 A). Figure 3.
