HCPL-0700, HCPL-0701, HCNW138, HCNW139,
6N139, 6N138,
Low Input Current, High Gain Optocouplers
Data Sheet
Description
These high gain series couplers use a Light Emitting
Diode and an integrated high gain photodetec tor to
provide extremely high current transfer ratio between
input and output. Separate pins for the photodiode
and output stage result in TTL compatible saturation
voltages and high speed operation. Where desired the
VCC and VO terminals may be tied together to achieve
conven tional photodarlington operation. A base
access terminal allows a gain bandwidth adjustment to
be made.
The 6N139, HCPL-0701, and HCNW139 are for use in
CMOS, LSTTL or other low power appli ca tions. A 400%
minimum current transfer ratio is guaranteed over 0 to 70°C
operating range for only 0.5 mA of LED current.
The 6N138, HCPL-0700, and HCNW138 are designed for
use mainly in TTL applications. Current Transfer Ratio
(CTR) is 300% minimum over 0 to 70°C for an LED current
of 1.6 mA (1 TTL Unit load ). A 300% minimum CTR
enables operation with 1 TTL Load using a 2.2 kΩ
pull-up resistor.

Note:
1. Technical data are on separate Avago publications.
Selection for lower input current down to 250 µA is available upon request.
The HCPL-0701 and HCPL-0700 are surface mount devices packaged in an industry standard SOIC-8 footprint.
The SOIC-8 does not require “through holes” in a PCB. This package occupies approximately one-third the foot-
print area of the standard dual-in-line package. The lead prole is designed to be compatible with standard
surface mount processes.
The HCNW139 and HCNW138 are packaged in a widebody encapsulation that provides creep age and clearance di-
mensions suitable for safety approval by regulatory agencies worldwide.

†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 IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5 Insulation Characteristics Table (if applicable), your equipment level safety
specication or Avago Application Note 1074 entitled “Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance Voltage.”
Notes:
1. DC CURRENT TRANSFER RATIO (CTR) is dened as the ratio of output collector current, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF, times 100%.
2. Pin 7 Open.
3. Device considered a two-terminal device. Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
4. Use of a resistor between pin 5 and 7 will decrease gain and delay time. Signicant reduction in overall gain can occur when using resistor values
below 47 kΩ. For more information, please contact your local Avago Components representative.
5. Common mode transient immunity in a Logic High level is the maximum toler able (positive) dVCM/dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, 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 of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a Logic Low state (i.e., VO < 0.8 V).
6. In applications where dV/dt may exceed 50,000 V/µs (such as static discharge) a series resistor, RCC, should be included to protect the
detector IC from destructively high surge currents. The recommended value is RCC = 220 Ω.
7. Use of a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor connected between pins 8 and 5 adjacent to the device is recommended.
8. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage 4500 V rms for 1 second (leakage detection
current limit, II-O < 5 µA). This test is per formed before the 100% production test shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-5 Insulation Related Char-
acteristics Table, if applicable.
9. 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 per formed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (method b) shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN
60747-5-5 Insulation Related Characteristics Table, if applicable.
