6N137VM

Overview

The onsemi 6N137VM is a high-speed optocoupler featuring a single channel in an 8-pin PDIP package. It supports data rates up to 10 Mb/s with a typical common-mode rejection of 10 kV/µs. The device utilizes an open collector output capable of sourcing 50 mA, driven by a forward current of 10 mA and a forward voltage of 1.4 V. Key timing parameters include a rise time of 30 ns and a fall time of 10 ns. It offers an isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed operation supporting 10 MBit/s data transmission rates
• Superior common-mode rejection ratio of 10 kV/µs for noise immunity
• Strobable logic gate output with wired OR-open collector configuration

Applications

• High-speed digital communication interfaces
• Industrial control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Microprocessor system interfacing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VM' against the official datasheet to confirm the tube packaging format and lead-free status. Ensure the required isolation voltage rating of 5000 Vrms meets the safety standards of the target application. Confirm that the DIP-8 through-hole package aligns with the PCB layout constraints before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed signal integrity is critical alongside robust electrical isolation. The strobable output feature allows for precise timing control in complex digital circuits. Consider the 50 mA output current capability for direct driving of logic inputs without additional buffering stages.
