6N137VG

Overview

The 6N137VG is a high-speed logic output optoisolator manufactured by Isocom Components. It features an open collector output and supports data rates up to 10Mbps. The device provides galvanic isolation with a rating of 5000Vrms and offers a common mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 5kV/µs. It is housed in an 8-DIP package and accepts DC input.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed signal transmission with a 10Mbps data rate capability
• Delivers robust electrical isolation between input and output circuits
• Features an open collector logic gate output for direct interfacing

Applications

• High-speed digital communication interfaces requiring isolation
• Industrial control systems with noisy environments
• Microprocessor system isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation matches Isocom Components 2004 LTD, as this component family is produced by multiple vendors with varying specifications. Confirm the specific isolation voltage rating of 5000Vrms and CMTI of 5kV/µs against your design requirements, as other variants may differ. Ensure the 8-DIP package type aligns with your PCB footprint constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside strong common mode noise rejection. The 5000Vrms isolation rating makes it suitable for applications demanding significant potential difference separation. Consider the open collector output configuration for compatibility with your downstream logic levels and pull-up resistor requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 6N137 series of high-speed optocouplers. It is designed for applications requiring fast switching speeds and reliable signal transmission across isolated boundaries. The series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics where signal integrity and noise immunity are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 6N137 variants, such as those from onsemi or Liteon, noting that isolation ratings and speed parameters may vary. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics like propagation delay and output current capabilities before substitution.
