Broadcom 6N137-000E Digital Optocoupler, 1 Channel, 3.75kV, DIP 8-Pin

The Broadcom 6N137-000E is a high-speed digital optocoupler integrating a GaAsP light emitting diode with a high-gain photo-detector. This unique optically coupled gate provides maximum AC and DC circuit isolation, making it an ideal solution for noise-sensitive applications where ground loop elimination and signal integrity are paramount. An enable input allows the detector to be strobed for greater control, while the output features an open collector Schottky-clamped transistor for compatibility with a wide range of logic families.

A key strength of this design is its exceptional noise immunity. An internal shield delivers a guaranteed common mode transient immunity of up to 15,000 V/μs at Vcm = 1000V, ensuring reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. All AC and DC operational parameters are guaranteed across a broad temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, enabling stable and trouble-free system performance in demanding conditions.

Key Features

• High-Speed Operation: Supports data rates up to 10 MBd (Mbaud), typical, for fast signal transmission.
• Logic Compatibility: Designed to be LSTTL/TTL compatible, facilitating easy integration into digital circuits.
• Low Input Drive: Requires a low input current capability of just 5mA, reducing power demands on the driving circuitry.
• Robust Isolation: Provides a high isolation voltage of 3.75kV, ensuring safety and signal integrity between input and output circuits.
• Temperature Resilient: Fully specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Housed in a standard 8-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), this single-channel optocoupler is a reliable component for protecting microcontrollers, logic gates, and other sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and noise on data lines.
