High-Speed/Logic Gate Optocoupler (SFH67XX Series)
INTRODUCTION
The new SFH67XX series of high-speed optocouplers is
capable of transmitting data rates up to 5 Mb/s typical and
2.5 Mb/s over the full specified operating temperature
range. The combination of low input current (1.6 mA) and
active logic-level output is a fit for nearly all logic
applications where a galvanic insulation is necessary.
The SFH67XX series features positive logic with TTL output
levels. For improved noise immunity the detector
incorporates a schmitt-trigger stage.
The SFH6700/19 provides an enable input, which allows
switching the output into the high ohmic state for bus
applications.
For applications which need an open collector output, the
SFH6705 is offered.The SFH6731 and SFH6732 are the dual
versions. The two channels are free of crosstalk and
interference.
To ensure a high common mode transient immunity of
guaranteed 2.5 kV/μs at 400 V, the SFH671X/6732 series
features an internal shield which consists of an additional
ITO layer. The ITO (indium tin oxide) layer is an optically
transparent but electrically conductive layer on top of the
detector. The standard SFH670X series withstands
1.0 kV/μs at VCM = 50 V.
The SFH67XX series is also available in an SMD version
(option 7 and 9 with > 8 mm creepage and clearance
distance).

Due to the coupler’s typically low input current threshold of
0.50 mA and the negative temperature gradient of the input

of the driver element at high temperatures may become an
issue in certain applications where the circuit is operated at

Both circuits are simple and feature a minimal component

shown in figure 2, is not recommended due to speed and
current limitations (especially in the CMOS logic family), and
lower common mode transient immunity.
Rev. 1.3, 29-Nov-11
The resistor R1 determines the forward LED current, and R2
shunts the LED. The choice of R2 depends on power

current. The following equations can help designers

Output Circuitry
One advantage of the SFH67XX series is its easy connection
to any logic system, because of the active output stage
(totem pole/three state output). Either directly or via a
pull-up resistor, all couplers can drive up to 16 LS TTL loads
(4 TTL loads) easily. In general, a 0.1 μF bypass capacitor is
strongly recommended for proper operation.
• Using SFH67XX (totem pole) and a pull-up resistor (see
figure 12)
• Using SFH6705 (open collector) and a pull-up resistor (see
figure 11)
• Using an HCT logic device (see figure 10)
Using an HCT device is the simplest and most convenient
solution to eliminate the external pull-up resistor (see
figure 10). The designer doesn’t have to worry about power
consumption, rise times, or system speed.
SFH6701/11
The SFH6700/19 with its three-state output fits best in bus
applications because of the possibility to switch the
couplers output into the high ohmic state (for a typical setup
please refer to figure 28).

Interfacing the SFH67XX coupler to LS TTL or any other

coupler eliminates the need for an external pull up resistor,
and minimizes parts count and board space requirements.
The typical connection is seen in figure 9. Even HCT logic

in which CL represents the total capacitance of the load,

The resistor value is a compromise between the requirement
of power dissipation and switching speed. A low RP
produces symmetrical and fast switching times but results
in a higher power dissipation. Reasonable values are shown
in table 6.

Interfacing to 3.3 V Level
Interfacing to the 3.3 V logic families (e.g. AC, AHC, or HC)
is quite easy, and presented in figure 13.
If the totem pole/three-state coupler is operated with
VCC = 5 V, then the output “high” level of the coupler,
which is then typically 3.2 V, matches perfectly with the
3.3 V logic input levels. In general, the output “high”
voltage can be determined by VOH ≈ VCC - 1.8 V. (Even with
VCC = 5.0 V ± 10 %, the output voltage is within the limits,
and is guaranteed to be higher than 2.4 V over temperature
to fulfill the 3 V logic requirement).

By using a totem pole device, the equations (9) and (10) are
also valid, but the pull-up resistor has only to bring up the
voltage difference between VOH (≈ VCC - 1.8 V) and the input
switching limit, e.g. 3.5 V for HC logic, which makes a ΔV of
0.3 V. This allows the use of a higher RP which results in
lower power consumption.

Interfacing to other Levels
If shifting to any other level is intended (e.g. 2.5 V logic, like
the ALVC or ALVT series), the SFH6705 with its open
collector output is qualified. RP works as a pull-up resistor
to ensure the proper logic high level. The basic principles are
the same as described in the section “interfacing to CMOS
logic” in equations (9) to (12).
Pull-Up Resistor Considerations for the Open Collector
Type SFH6705
As previously mentioned above, the pull-up resistor has to
be chosen in accordance with the equations (9), (10), and
(12). Figure 14 plots the expected rise time tr versus the time
constant τ = RP x CL. Unlike the rise time tr, the fall time tf is
mostly independent of RP and around 5 ns.

APPLICATION NOTE
The SFH6711/12/19 feature a guaranteed common mode
transient immunity (CMTI) of 2.5 kV/μs at 400 V. This is
achieved by using a faraday shield which is transparent to
infrared light, but electrically conducting. This shield

Fig. 17 - Input Circuitry for Improved CMTI
In general there are some design rules to achieve a high
CMTI. These recommendations are especially important for
low LED drive current devices, like the SFH67XX series:
* Diode D1: Any signaling diode
• Connect the unused pins 1 and 4 to the virtually grounded
input potential (either GND or VDD).
The transistor shunts the LED in the off-state and prevents
a false turn on. This circuit tolerates very high common
mode transients in the LED off-state. An improvement in the
LED on-state can be reached by choosing a high IF current.
For VDD = 5 V, R1 is typically around 1.1 kΩ.
• Minimize stray capacitance.
• Avoid long distances between LED input circuit and
coupler.
Another input circuit for high CMTI is shown in figure 18.
• Choose an appropriate high LED forward current to
improve CMH (common mode transient immunity at logic
“high” level).

Pulse width distortion (PWD) is defined as the difference
between tPHL and tPLH (PWD = |tPHL – tPLH|). This value is
important in applications where symmetrical switching
times are required, e.g. in systems which are based on pulse
width modulation. In transmission systems, the PWD should
not exceed 30 % of the minimum propagation delay time. At
IF = 3.0 mA LED forward current, the SFH67xx has a typical
PWD of around 20 ns over temperature, which corresponds
to a maximum PWD of 20 %. Note that the use of a speed
up capacitor decreases tPLH but might increase the PWD.
Fig. 18 - Input Circuitry for High CMTI
A common way to achieve ultra-high CMTI is presented in
figure 19.
The balanced input impedance principle works with four
resistors, R1 = R2 and R3 = R4. R1 and R2 are used to
minimize any noticeable LED current when the transistor is
on. To achieve maximum performance, the stray
capacitance from anode or cathode to the output side of the
coupler has to be kept as low as possible.
Reasonable values with Q1 = 2N2222 are R3 = R4= 510 Ω
and R1 = R2 omitted. Note that R1 and R2 can be omitted,
depending on the VCE of the transistor Q1.

Propagation delay skew (tPSK) is the difference between the

Propagation delay skew is therefore an important value for

minimize the overall PWD, two identical couplers may be

Optocouplers are commonly used as an interface between
two circuits, where galvanic insulation is required, either to

The SFH67XX series can be used as a fast driver for
intelligent power modules (IPMs) using IGBT or MOSFET
technology.
The SFH67XX optocoupler series provide level shifting and
galvanic insulation and is therefore the ideal interface to the
control logic.
With its guaranteed minimum 2.5 kV/μs at 400 V common
mode transient immunity, the SFH671X also fulfills
enhanced switching requirements.
Eye Pattern Diagram
Switching Loads
A typical eye pattern diagram for 5 Mb/s data transmission
is presented in figure 23. The eye pattern testing was done
with a pseudo random data sequence (NRZ coding).
The SFH67XX series can easily handle currents up to
25 mADC and voltages up to 15 V. Figures 26 and 27 show
how it can handle loads which are beyond these limits.
In figure 26, R1 is used as a pull-up resistor and the load
current is handled and limited by the external transistor Q1.
Unlike figure 27, the schematic in figure 26 is qualified to
support both high voltages and currents. The 5 V power
supply might be raised up to 15 V to achieve a proper VGS
voltage to turn the transistor fully on.
The combination of the SFH67XX series with logic level
power transistors provides a fast-switching solution that
helps to reduce parts count.

Opto-Insulated DAC Interface
When galvanic insulation in digital-to-analog-conversion or
analog-to-digital-conversion systems is required, the
SFH67XX series is a good choice for an interface.

The schematic in figure 28 shows the use of a common data
bus line with 4 independent data lines in time multiplexing
mode. The 2-line to 4-line address decoder selects one of
the 4 data lines by enabling the output, whereas all the other
outputs remain in the high ohmic state.

** Resistor R1: R1 might be omitted, depending on the
necessary VGS of Q1 to turn Q1 fully on
Setups like the one in figure 29 provide a fast and part
saving insulation barrier. The low propagation delay skew
of the SFH67XX devices makes them ideal for use in
parallel data transfer. The SFH67XX series provide an
optimal interface solution for the SAB 80 C167/C165
micro-controllers by supporting the 5 Mb/s data rate at a
20 MHz CPU clock.
