Description
Features
These high gain series couplers use a Light Emitting
Diode and an integrated high gain photodetector to
provide extremely high current transfer ratio between
input and output. Separate pins for the photodiode
and output stage result in TTL compatible saturation
voltages and high speed operation. Where desired the
VCC and VO terminals may be tied together to achieve
conven tional photodarlington operation. A base
access terminal allows a gain bandwidth adjustment to
be made.
 High current transfer ratio – 2000% typical (4500 %
typical for HCNW139/138)
 Low input current requirements – 0.5 mA
 TTL compatible output – 0.1 V VOL typical
 Performance guaranteed over temperature 0°C
to 70°C
 Base access allows gain bandwidth adjustment
 High output current – 60 mA
 Safetyapproval
UL recognized – 3750 V rms for 1 minute and 5000 V
rms* for 1 minute per UL 1577
CSA approved
IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 approved with VIORM = 1414
Vpeak for HCNW139 and HCNW138
 Available in 8-Pin DIP or SOIC-8 footprint or widebody
package
 MIL-PRF-38534 hermetic version available
(HCPL-5700/1)
The 6N139, HCPL-0701, and CNW139 are for use in CMOS,
LSTTL or other low power applications. A 400% minimum current transfer ratio is guaranteed over 0 to 70°C
operating range for only 0.5 mA of LED current.
The 6N138, HCPL-0700, and HCNW138 are designed for
use mainly in TTL applications. Current Transfer Ratio
(CTR) is 300% minimum over 0 to 70°C for an LED current
of 1.6 mA (1 TTL Unit load ). A 300% minimum CTR
enables operation with 1 TTL Load using a 2.2 kΩ
pull-up resistor.

 Low input current line receiver
 High voltage insulation (HCNW139/138)
 EIA RS-232C line receiver
 Telephone ring detector
 117 V ac line voltage status indicator – low input

 Low power systems – ground isolation
*5000 V rms/1 minute rating is for HCNW139/138 and Option 020
(6N139/138) products only.
A 0.1 μF bypass capacitor connected between pins 8 and 5 is
recommended.
CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly
of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
Selection for lower input current down to 250 μA is
available upon request.
The HCPL-0701 and HCPL-0700 are surface mount devices
packaged in an industry standard SOIC-8 footprint.
The SOIC-8 does not require “through holes” in a PCB.
This package occupies approximately one-third the
footprint area of the standard dual-in-line package. The
lead profile is designed to be compatible with standard
surface mount processes.
The HCNW139 and HCNW138 are packaged in a
widebody encapsulation that provides creepage and
clearance dimensions suitable for safety approval by
regulatory agencies worldwide.

†The Input-Output Momentary Withstand Voltage is a dielectric voltage rating that should not be interpreted as an input-output continuous voltage rating.
For the continuous voltage rating refer to the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation Characteristics Table (if applicable), your equipment level safety
specification or Avago Application Note 1074 entitled “Optocoupler Input-Output Endurance Voltage.”
Notes:
1. DC CURRENT TRANSFER RATIO (CTR) is defined as the ratio of output collector current, IO, to the forward LED input current, IF, times 100%.
2. Pin 7 Open.
3. Device considered a two-terminal device. Pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together and Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
4. Use of a resistor between pin 5 and 7 will decrease gain and delay time. Significant reduction in overall gain can occur when using resistor values
below 47 k. For more information, please contact your local Avago Components representative.
5. Common mode transient immunity in a Logic High level is the maximum tolerable (positive) dVCM /dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure
that the output will remain in a Logic High state (i.e., VO > 2.0 V). Common mode transient immunity in a Logic Low level is the maximum tolerable
(negative) dVCM /dt of the common mode pulse, VCM, to assure that the output will remain in a Logic Low state (i.e., VO < 0.8 V).
6. In applications where dV/dt may exceed 50,000 V/μs (such as static discharge) a series resistor, RCC, should be included to protect the
detector IC from destructively high surge currents. The recommended value is RCC = 220 .
7. Use of a 0.1 F bypass capacitor connected between pins 8 and 5 adjacent to the device is recommended.
8. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage 4500 V rms for 1 second (leakage detection
current limit, II-O < 5 A). This test is per formed before the 100% production test shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN 60747-5-2 Insulation Related Characteristics Table, if applicable.
9. In accordance with UL 1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage > 6000 V rms for 1 second (leakage detection
current limit, II-O < 5 A). This test is per formed before the 100% production test for partial discharge (method b) shown in the IEC/EN/DIN EN
60747-5-2 Insulation Related Characteristics Table, if applicable.
