Overview
The 6N137-500E is a high-performance optocoupler produced by Broadcom Limited. This device is designed as a 1-channel digital isolator, combining a GaAsP light-emitting diode with an integrated high-gain photodetector. It features an enable input that allows the detector to be strobed, and the output of the detector IC is an open collector Schottky-clamped transistor. This unique design ensures maximum AC and DC circuit isolation while maintaining TTL compatibility. The optocoupler operates reliably over a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for various high-speed and noise-prone applications.
