6N137
High CMR, High Speed TTL Compatible Optocouplers
Description
The 6N137 consists of a high efficient
AlGaAs Light Emitting Diode and a high
speed optical detector. This design provides
excellent AC and DC isolation between the
input and output sides of the Optocoupler.
The output of the optical detector features
an open collector Schottky clamped
transistor. The enable function allows the
optical detector to be strobed. The internal
shield ensures high common mode transient
immunity. A guaranteed common mode
transient immunity is up to 10,000V/µs.
The Optocoupler operational parameters
are guaranteed over the temperature range
from -40
o
C ~ +85
o
C.

Notes
1. A 0.1µF or bigger bypass capacitor for V
CC
is needed as shown in Fig.1
2. Peaking driving circuit may be used to speed up the LED. The peak drive current of LED may go up to 50mA
and maximum pulse width 50ns, as long as average current doesn’t exceed 20mA.
3. t
PLH
(propagation delay) is measured from the 3.75 mA point on the falling edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V
point on the rising edge of the output pulse.
4. t
PHL
(propagation delay) is measured from the 3.75 mA point on the rising edge of the input pulse to the 1.5 V
point on the falling edge of the output pulse.
5. The t
ELH
enable propagation delay is measured from the 1.5 V point on the falling edge of the enable input pulse
to the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the output pulse.
6. The t
EHL
enable propagation delay is measured from the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the enable input pulse
to the 1.5 V point on the falling edge of the output pulse.
7. CM
H
is the maximum tolerable rate of rise of the common mode voltage to assure that the output will remain in
a high logic state (i.e., VO > 2.0 V).
8. CM
L
is the maximum tolerable rate of fall of the common mode voltage to assure that the output will remain in
a low logic state (i.e., VO < 0.8 V).
9. No external pull up is required for a high logic state on the enable input. If the enable pin is not used, tying it to
V
CC
.
10. Device is considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 shorted together, and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8
shorted together.
