4N38SM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • The maximum allowable voltage across the input pins is typically ±5V, but it's recommended to keep it within ±1V to ensure reliable operation.
  • To ensure proper biasing, connect the anode of the LED to a positive voltage source through a current-limiting resistor, and connect the cathode to ground or a negative voltage source. The recommended forward current is 5-10mA.
  • The minimum CTR for the 4N38SM is 100% at IF = 5mA, but it can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions. Consult the datasheet for more information.
  • The 4N38SM has a limited bandwidth of around 10kHz, making it suitable for low-to-medium frequency applications. For high-frequency applications, consider using a faster optocoupler like the FODM8071 or HCPL-817.
  • The output of the 4N38SM is an open-collector transistor, which means it can only sink current. You'll need to add an external pull-up resistor to the output pin to ensure proper operation.
