The current transfer ratio (CTR) has LED current IF and transistor collector-emitter voltage VCE dependencies. For typical transistor-output photocouplers, CTR is specified under the conditions IF=5mA and VCE=5V. However, VCE=5V is the condition for the non-saturated area. In applications using photocoulers, ON and OFF digital signals are transmitted very often. In such a case, in the ON state, photocouplers go into the saturated area. Therefore, the saturated condition (In Toshiba's case, VCE=0.4V or 0.3V) may be also set in the CTR requirements, and the CTR under this condition is defined as CTR (Saturation).
