HCPL-261A
HCMOS Compatible, High CMR, 10 MBd Optocouplers
Data Sheet
HCPL-261A, HCPL-061A, HCPL-263A, HCPL-063A

Description
The HCPL-261A family of optically coupled gates shown
on this data sheet provide all the benefits of the
industry standard 6N137 family with the added benefit
of HCMOS compatible input current. This allows direct
interface to all common circuit topologies without
additional LED buffer 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
detector 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 immunity of 1000 V/µs for the HCPL-261A
family and 15000 V/µs for the HCPL-261N family.
Features
• HCMOS/LSTTL/TTL performance compatible
• 1000 V/µs minimum Common Mode Rejection (CMR) at
V
CM
= 50 V (HCPL-261A family) and 15 kV/µs minimum
