PHOTOCOUPLER
6N137 series
1. 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. A guaranteed common mode
transient immunity is up to 10kV/μs at 3.3V.
The Optocoupler operational parameters are guaranteed over the temperature range from -40oC ~ +85oC.

Notes
1.
A 0.1µF or bigger bypass capacitor for VCC 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.
tPLH (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.
tPHL (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 tELH 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 tEHL 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.
CMH 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.
CML 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.
Device is considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 shorted together, and pins 5, 6, 7 and 8 shorted together.
10.
In accordance with UL1577, each optocoupler is proof tested by applying an insulation test voltage 5250Vrms for one second
(leakage current less than 10 μA). This test is performed before the 100% production test for partial discharge
