Description

6N137 High Speed Opto-coupler The 6N137 is single channel 10 MBd opto-couplers utilizing a high efficient input LED coupled with an integrated optical photodiode IC detector. The detector has an open drain NMOS-transistor output, providing less leakage compared to an open collector Schottky clamped transistor output. For the single channel type, an enable function on pin 7 allows the detector to be strobed. The use of a 0.1 μF bypass capacitor connected between pin 5 and 8 is recommended.
