Description
The HCPL-261A family of optically coupled gates shown
on this data sheet provide all the benets of the in-
dustry standard 6N137 family with the added benet
of HCMOS compatible input current. This allows direct
interface to all common circuit topologies without ad-
ditional LED buer or drive components. The AlGaAs
LED used allows lower drive currents and reduces
degradation by using the latest LED technology. On
the single channel parts, an enable output allows the de-
tector to be strobed. The output of the detector IC is an
open collector schottky-clamped transistor. The internal
shield provides a minimum common mode transient im-
munity of 1000 V/µs for the HCPL-261A family and 15000
V/µs for the HCPL-261N family.
