The 6N137 is a single-channel, high-speed optocoupler designed to electrically isolate digital signals between circuits while transferring data optically. It combines an LED with an integrated high-speed logic detector and provides a strobable open-collector output. It supports data rates up to 10MBd, making it suitable for high-speed digital signal isolation.
Key Features:
- Type: Single-channel high-speed logic gate optocoupler
- Data Rate: Up to 10MBd
- Logic Compatibility: TTL/LSTTL and LVTTL/LVCMOS variants
- Output: Open-collector/open-drain logic output with enable/strobe input
- Isolation: High electrical isolation between input and output
- Package: Commonly available in 8-pin DIP and SOIC-8 versions
- High Common-Mode Rejection: Up to 15kV/µs for specified versions
Applications:
- Digital signal isolation
- Microcontroller interfaces
- UART and communication interfaces
- Industrial control systems
- Switching power supplies
- Ground-loop elimination
- Isolated line receivers
The 6N137 is particularly useful when you need fast digital signal transmission while maintaining electrical isolation between two parts of a circuit.
