DESCRIPTION
The SFH636 is an optocoupler with a GaAlAs infrared
emitting diode, optically coupled to an integrated pho-
todetector consisting of a photodiode and a high
speed transistor in a DIP-6 plastic package. The
device is functionally similar to 6N136 except there is
no base connection, and the electrical foot print is dif-
ferent. Noise and dv/dt performance is enhanced by
not bringing out the base connection.
Signals can be transmitted between two electrically
separated circuits up to frequencies of 2.0 MHz. The
potential difference between the circuits to be coupled
should not exceed the maximum permissible refer-
ence voltages.
