DESCRIPTION
The SFH636 is an optocoupler with a GaAlAs infrared
emitting diode, optically coupled to an integrated photo
detector consisting of a photo diode and a high speed
transistor in a low pinout DIP-6 package. The device is
functionally similar to 6N136 except there is no base
connection and the foot print is different. Noise and
common mode rejection performance is enhanced by not
bringing out the base connection.
Signals can be transmitted between two electrically
separated circuits up to frequencies of 2 MHz.

FEATURES
• High CMR of 10 kV/μs
• High speed optocoupler without base connection
• Integrated detector with photo diode and
transistor
• TTL compatible
Guaranteed DC performance overtemperature:
0 °C to 70 °C
• Open collector output
• Supply voltage up to 30 V
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance
