## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ANODE 1 | input | Anode of input LED channel 1; the input is HCMOS-compatible with recommended forward current IFH of 3.0 to 10 mA and low-level input voltage VFL of -3 to 0.8 V. |
| 2 | CATHODE 1 | input | Cathode of input LED channel 1, returned to the input-side ground of the drive circuit. |
| 3 | CATHODE 2 | input | Cathode of input LED channel 2, returned to the input-side ground of the drive circuit. |
| 4 | ANODE 2 | input | Anode of input LED channel 2; the input is HCMOS-compatible with recommended forward current IFH of 3.0 to 10 mA and low-level input voltage VFL of -3 to 0.8 V. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground reference for the detector side; a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between pins 5 and 8 is required, with total lead length not exceeding 10 mm. |
| 6 | VO2 | output | Open-collector Schottky-clamped output of channel 2 that requires an external pull-up resistor RL of 330 Ω to 4 kΩ; each channel is rated for 50 mA maximum collector current and 7 V maximum output voltage. |
| 7 | VO1 | output | Open-collector Schottky-clamped output of channel 1 that requires an external pull-up resistor RL of 330 Ω to 4 kΩ; each channel is rated for 50 mA maximum collector current and 7 V maximum output voltage. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Detector supply voltage, recommended 4.5 to 5.5 V with an absolute maximum of 7 V, decoupled to pin 5 with a 0.1 µF capacitor. |
