Applications
Logic Ground Isolation-TTL/TTL, TTL/CMOS, CMOS/
CMOS, CMOS/TTL

Lines
Telephone Ring Detector
117 VAC Line Voltage Status Indication-Low Input
Power Dissipation
Low Power Systems-Ground Isolation
Photo darlington operation is achieved by tying the
V
CC
and V
O
terminals together. Access to the base
terminal allows adjustment to the gain bandwidth.
The 6N138 is ideal for TTL applications since the
300 % minimum current transfer ratio with an LED
current of 1.6 mA enables operation with one unit
load-in and one unit load-out with a 2.2 kΩ pull-up
resistor.
The 6N139 is best suited for low power logic applica-
tions involving CMOS and low power TTL. A 400 %
current transfer ratio with only 0.5 mA of LED current
is guaranteed from 0 °C to 70 °C
Caution: Due to the small geometries of this device, it should be
handled with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions. Proper
grounding would prevent damage further and/or degradation which
may be induced by ESD.

Description
High common mode transient immunity and very high
current ratio together with 5300 V
RMS
insulation are
achieved by coupling and LED with an integrated high
gain photo detector in an eight pin dual-in-line pack-
age. Separate pins for the photo diode and output
stage enable TTL compatible saturation voltages with
high speed operation.

Common mode transient immunity in logic high level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVcm/dt on the leading edge of the common
mode pulse, V
CM
, to assure that the output will remain in a logic high state (i.e. V
O
> 2.0 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, V
CM
to assure that the output
will remain in a logic low state (i.e. V
O
< 0.8 V).
10)
In applications where dv/dt may exceed 50,000 V/µs (such as state discharge) a series resistor, R
CC
should be included to protect I
C
from destructively high surge currents.The recommend value is R
