Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output,
Quad Channel, SOP-16, Half Pitch Mini-Flat Package
DESCRIPTION
The SFH6916 has a GaAs infrared emitter, which is optically
coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor detector, and
is incorporated in a 16 pin 50 mil lead pitch miniflat
package. It features a high current transfer ratio, low
coupling capacitance, and high isolation voltage.
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
FEATURES
• SOP (small outline package)
• Isolation test voltage, 3750 VRMS (1.0 s)
• High collector emitter voltage, VCEO = 70 V
• Low saturation voltage
• Fast switching times
• Temperature stable
• Low coupling capacitance
• End stackable, 0.050" (1.27 mm) spacing
• Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and in
accordance to WEEE 2002/96/EC

Notes
• Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not
implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.
(1) Refer to reflow profile for soldering conditions for surface mounted devices.
Note
• Minimum and maximum values are testing requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are the result of engineering
evaluation. Typical values are for information only and are not part of the testing requirements.
