They function as a digital switch, it is used for serial communication at 9600 baud. But I don't understand why the specification defines a minimum inactive current. As Declan stated, the transistor leaks only nA or pA and not uA's. Minimum"On"-current for the diode is not clearly specified, so there's where I lose the link to a mininum inactive current...
Kind regards,
Elbert Smit.
