DESCRIPTION
The SFH6916 family has a GaAs infrared emitting
diode 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 transmis-
sion between two electrically separated circuits.
