6N137 Series
Features:
• High speed 10Mbit/s
• Fan out of 8 over -40 to 85℃
• Logic gate output
• High isolation voltage between input
and output (Viso=5000 V rms )
• Compact small outline package
• Pb free and RoHS compliant.
Description
The 6N137series devices each of consist of an infrared
emitting diodes, optically coupled to a Very high speed
integrated photo detector logic gate with a strobable output.
They are packaged in an 8-pin DIP package and
available in wide-lead spacing and SMD option.
Applications
• Ground loop elimination
• LSTTL to TTL, LSTTL or 5 volt CMOS
• Line receiver, data transmission
• Data multiplexing
• Switching power supplies
• Pulse transformer replacement
• Computer peripheral interface
