CMOS Logic Interface
The TOSHIBA 6N138 and 6N139 consists of a GaAℓAs infrared emitting
diode coupled with a split-Darlington output configuration.
A high speed GaAℓAs Ired manufactured with an unique LPE junction, has
the virtue of fast rise and fall time at low drive current.

Isolation voltage (1minute, R.H.≤ 60%)
Note: Using continuously under heavy loads (e.g. the application of high temperature/current/voltage and the
significant change in temperature, etc.) may cause this product to decrease in the reliability significantly even if
the operating conditions (i.e. operating temperature/current/voltage, etc.) are within the absolute maximum
ratings.
Please design the appropriate reliability upon reviewing the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook
(“Handling Precautions”/“Derating Concept and Methods”) and individual reliability data (i.e. reliability test
report and estimated failure rate, etc.).

DC CURRENT TRANSFER RATIO is defined as the ratio of output collector current, I
O
, to the forward
LED input current, I
F
, times 100%.
Pin 7 open.
Device considered a two−terminal device: Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7 and 8
shorted together.
Use of a resistor between pin 5 and 7 will decrease gain and delay time.
Common mode transient immunity in logic high level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dV
CM
/ 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
> 2.0V).
Common mode transient immunity in Logic Low level is the maximum tolerable (negative) dV
CM
/ 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
< 0.8V).
