Vishay Semiconductors
High Speed Optocoupler, 1 MBd,
Photodiode With Transistor Output
DESCRIPTION
The 1 MBd high speed optocoupler consists of a GaAlAs infrared emitting diode, optically coupled with an integrated photo
detector and a high speed transistor. The open collector output function allows circuit designers to adjust the load conditions
when interfacing with different logic systems such as TTL, CMOS, etc.
The PSpice models are written from device characterization data for simulation. All symbols are in the symbol library file
6N136.olb. All model data are in the PSpice model library file 6N136.lib.
This document is intended as a PSpice modeling guideline and does not constitute a commercial product, neither a substitute
to datasheet.

RECOMMENDED USE OF THE MODEL

• This model is designed only for use at 25 °C and should be used as is.
• This model has been created and tested with OrCAD version 16.6.
• The olb file (symbol) is not down-compatible. Users of the earlier versions need to create the symbols on their platform and
associate with relative PSpice model data.
